The Essex Association of Change Ringers   President: The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford

The Tower Open Day in the Southern District is just under two weeks away. During the day we have all 26 of our ringable towers open on a circular route starting at Leigh-on-Sea at 9am and finishing at South Benfleet at 6:30pm.

While we hope to have many visitors from outside the Association, it would be great to see friends from Essex as well. Why not join us for the whole day, or just come and “grab” any towers you have yet to ring at.

For those of you who haven’t experienced a tower open day before, they are fun events where people rush around from tower to tower and ring a few call changes or a simple method at each. All ringers who can confidently ring rounds are welcome.

If any of you are trying to compete the Learning the Ropes 50 Ringing Things challenge, you may be able to tick off several different “things”!

Day tickets, which give you access to all towers, cost £20 if ordered in advance by emailing openday@eacr.org.uk by Wednesday, July 10th. They will also be available at the first five towers on the day at a cost of £25. Alternatively, you can pay £2 to ring at individual towers.

Refreshments will be available at selected towers.

You can find full details of the towers open HERE.

Any questions, please email s-district-treasurer@eacr.org.uk or s-district-secretary@eacr.org.uk
