On Saturday 18th<\/sup> May 2024, 45 ringers and friends from St Andrew\u2019s enjoyed a coach trip to North Sussex and Surrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first stop was a drive of 1.5 hours to the town of East Grinstead. Here the ringers madea nice sound on all 12 bells whilst the non \u2013ringers visited the museum next door dedicated to wartime plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our next stop, Balcombe, a lighter ring of 8 bells allowed some more advanced ringing in a pretty and recently restored church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our lunch stop at Warnham was a pub conveniently opposite the church in a picturesque setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here the non-ringers had an extended lunch whilst listening to the recently augmented ring of 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon we visited an anti-clockwise ring in Rudgwick before our final stop at Cranleigh; arguably the nicest sounding bells of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our dinner in Cranleigh we had a pub restaurant to ourselves with excellent food and service before our pleasant journey home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very successful and enjoyable day for all.<\/p>\n\n\n
