It is with sadness and regret that I have to inform you of the death, earlier today, of Jose Sadler. Jose was a ringing member at Prittlewell but had not rung for several years owing to ill health.

Due to continuing building work at Maldon, SMV, ringing will be suspended from 4th September for approximately 4 weeks.

The funeral of Alan Coleman is to be held at St Michael and All Saints, Galleywood, at 11am on Monday, 14 August. Stephanie Gillingham officiating. Burial in the churchyard follows.

The summer holidays have barely started but now is the time to start thinking about securing your tickets for the Annual Dinner on Saturday 28th October at Little Channels, Little Waltham, near Chelmsford. Read more

I am very sorry to report that Alan Coleman of Galleywood died on Monday 31 July. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this sad time.

Work is due to start on Monday 31st July 2017 on the repairs to the structure of the tower at Great Totham. We will, therefore, not be able to ring for a few weeks and will advise when we are ringing again.

Please note that there will be no practices at Kelvedon on Tuesdays 1st & 8th August 2017. Read more
