Ringing in the New Year 2015 / 2016
We used to ring the New Year in at midnight on New Year's Eve but had difficulty getting sufficient ringers. In recent years we have therefore rung at noon on New Year's Day and this year we did just that.

Sunday 20 December. The handbell ringers took part in Carols by Candlelight at St. Tudno's Church and there is another photograph on the St. Tudno's 2015 archive page.

Saturday 30 - Sunday 31 May. The bell ringers put on a display on the bells as part of Holy Trinity's 150th celebrations and the display was complimented with a beautiful flower arrangement featuring handbells. The handbell ringers performed in the church on both days and the church bells were rung on the Sunday afternoon.

February 7th. The North Wales Association of Church Bell Ringers (Gwynedd & West Clwyd Branch) held its Annual General Meeting at Holy Trinity. A reasonable attendance enjoyed ringing, followed by a short service of evensong, tea, and the AGM itself.

Three of our ringers were appointed or re-appointed as officials.

l-r. Stan Whittaker (Treasurer), David Raggett (Ringing Master), and Emily Wilde is the new Secretary.

Two of our ringers were also elected as members of the Association. Linda Baker and Alex Freeman have joined our band in recent times - you are both very welcome.

January 12th. A visit to the tower by a young man called Jack from Penrhyndeudraeth together with his carer Cari Mai. Jack is very keen on churches and bells and it was a pleasure to show him round and give him a go on the treble bell.

Thursday 1st January. The bellringers rang in the new year. Happy new year to all our bellringing friends and to all who read this page.
