December. The hand bell ringers have been busy practising their Christmas carols and songs to entertain several local groups and clubs at their Christmas events.

November. We now hear that Bangor's closure will be effective towards the end of January. The Branch 2014 AGM has therefore been re-arranged to take place at Bangor on Saturday 11th January.

October. We are very saddened to hear that our ringing colleagues at Bangor will lose their tower in 2014 as St David's Church is to close. This at a time when a restoration of the tower and re-furbishment of the bells was being considered. We extend an invitation to any Bangor ringers to come and ring with us if they would like to. Some already attend our Friday weekly practices and our first Monday monthly sessions.

September. The All Wales Striking Competition was held on Saturday 28th September at Sully and Penarth. David Raggett (one of our ringers, 4th from right on the picture below), was included in the 8 bell North Wales Association band which was placed second, with Llandaff & Monmouth taking the top spot.
