Hide AdDuring the August Bank Holiday weekend when the Festival of Transport is held on Broad Farm at Hellingly, opposite the church, the Hellingly Bellringers will be undertaking an exercise on the bells to raise money for the Disasters Emergency Fund (DEF). The ringers will carry out a series of Devon Peals which are rapid changes on the bells each taking some 10 minutes to perform. The number of bell strokes required for each Devon Peal will be publicised on the day. People visiting the Festival will be invited to make a contribution to the DEF while listening to the bells. Contact Bill Lovell on 01323 845456 for more information on this or about having a go at bell ringing.
GOSPEL CHOIR: Family Services at Hellingly are growing all the time. There are musical instruments for children (of whatever age), a short and fun service where chocolate often plays a part. The songs are often a tad more upbeat and so we have formed a Gospel Choir to help lead with the odd song or two. If you are interested then speak to our Musical Director, Peter Willson (01323 833770) or come along to a rehearsal, usually the fourth Saturday of the month at 10.30am, check on website calendar.
CLASSICAL VEHICLE SHOW: Tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday at Michelham Priory. The stunning grounds of Michelham Priory provide a beautiful venue for a display of more than 100 classic cars. Vehicles on display show the evolution of motoring from the early horseless carriages to the recent classics. There really is something for everyone.
