Bellringing in Palace Gardens, Enfield
27 September 2008
Generously funded by the
Mayor of London's Open Rehearsal, the
bellringers of St Andrew's and St Mary's in Enfield, generously
assisted by ringers from across Middlesex, hosted the
Charmborough
Ring in Palace Gardens shopping centre, to promote bellringing
generally, and hopefully to attract some new recruits.

We reckon about 150 people got to ring for the first time, about 500 leaflets
were handed out, and more than 3000 people saw the bells in action.
