The bells were certainly ringing for the members of Pensilva WI when the Pillaton and St Mellion Handbell Ringers came to give the group a wonderful medley of tunes on their handbells.
These ranged from My Grandfather’s Clock to Jerusalem to an excerpt from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and many more. Then came the highlight of the evening when the bell ringers invited members to have a go. The bells were allocated and the music sheet explained; the concentration on the women’s faces was palpable as the music commenced. After a couple of goes they got the hang of it and the tunes became recognisable!
The meeting gave both members and visitors a rousing applause.
