<div>I rang at Upper Beeding in October last year, and was surprised to discover that they have been an eight since 1897. At the time of my visit, something was said by a local about a possible reversion to six.</div> <div> </div> <div>The project sounds like a good idea to me! I thought the ringing chamber was one of the most uncomfortably cramped that I've encountered, and that the bells didn't go particularly well either. The front four of the future six would certainly benefit from a good tuning. The two tenors are medieval. I look forward to ringing them in their restored state.<BR><BR><B><I>Alan Buswell <aaj.buswell@ZMDMFjASKysL-_cdicznsuWiWcHou5jGp8e8tx_1BB_CLsw0SjdzCj7UIREsAk1gXJSLnQ2C_CaCZ-V-IJbFDKY.yahoo.invalid></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <DIV id=ygrp-text> <div> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Doesn't anyone read the RW these days?!
