The point being made had nothing to do with the difficulties or otherwise o=
f teaching people to ring on heavy bells. There are other websites for thi=
s. The original point raised by CD arose from the historic aspects of the =
lamented loss of Glastonbury's heavy eight and its replacement with an 'ord=
inary' lighter one and relating it to the the loss of a historic ring and i=
nstallation in a church in a World Heritage Site.

O.K. So several of you have taught youngsters to ring on heavy bells. =

But that was only half of my comment, I also mentioned the Avebury rin=
gers at the other end of the scale.=20=20
I wonder how many local persons, that have passed the age of collecting=
the National Old Age Pension, have been taught to ring at Chewton Mendip, =
for instance, in the past fifteen years ?=20=20

At Holy Trinity, Bradford (nearly 30cwt) we recently taught a sixty-yea=
r old to ring. But then he does have some light relief at Christ Church (12=
cwt-ish) every other week.
