Pillaton and St. Mellion Handbell Ringers Perform at TDGR Ringing Festival

It was the end of a very different year for all of us, The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR) had launched a You Tube Competition in order to showcase the best ringing videos in the world and guess who won Overall Winner in 2020!!!???
The Pillaton and St. Mellion Handbell Ringers
“The prize for the ‘People’s Choice’ in the Central Council’s monthly YouTube competition, the champion of champions, goes to the Pillaton and St Mellion Handbell Ringers for their video of them ringing a plain course of Plain Bob Triples by the lapping method. This really captured the imagination, with comments describing it variously as ‘fabulous’, ‘absolutely incredible’, ‘brilliant to watch’, ‘astonishing’, and even ‘soothing’.”

TDGR loves to showcase the best of Cornish Ringing and we’re lucky enough to announce that they’ll be performing for us on TDGR Ringing Festival Day – May 21st at St. Petrocs Bodmin from 2pm. They’ve even said:
“We don’t mind if other handbell ringers would like to use our bells or if any who have not rung handbells before would like to have a go.”
As with all workshops, talks and competitions running within the TDGR Ringing Festival, they’re free of charge, but booking is essential to secure your seat as places are limited. Email president@tdgr.org.uk to secure your seat now!
