[matthewhigby at R9fPUJz-esQeRTv8z6LP9Si9PDoS6vs_KZ6mEdJYb2SsJOkXR5JyUeNf7YOA7ilbelk5ssBuBV5VVpo6rVA.yahoo.invalid]

Howdy, Sorry - I have been in Rosscarbery on holiday for the last 10 days,  
so am coming to this rather later on.
 
The tuning figures of the five which are currently hung are as  follows:
      241 483 580 698 965
      226 460 545 637 865
      220 408 497 659 816
      208 371 453 591 720
      164 315 377 452 620
 
The old 3rd (now retired with a cracked crown) is:
      210 380 484 596 801
 
The ex Hawkhurst bell which was bought to augmant them to six is:
      265 467 581 743  
964

But that is yet another story!
 
You can get the other bell details from DrL's site.
 
The plan is to retune the the current five and add three simpson trebles to  
make 8. The frame will be strengthened and an additional 3-bell frame built  
along side, to house the 2nd, 3rd & 4th. The old 3rd will remain retired,  and 
the ex Hawkhurst bell may end up in a new (old style) ring in Ireland.
 
Cheers,
 
M
