Handbells
Paul brings his lovely set of restored handbells.
Available each afternoon - outside under the Gazebo if weather is fine.
Usually you start ringing 1 or 2 bells (though with experience - 4, 6 or 8.)
Liked very much by all who have tried this guided teamwork.
Ringing Paul's handbell tunes is popular with children, senior citizens, and all "between".
After just a little practise, their sound is particularly lovely !

Walking A group leaves to walk on each afternoon.
Particularly lovely walking country surrounds Great Alne.
In April, our event sees wild flowers beside the lanes -
and carpeting the Woodlands. Bluebells and white stitchwort
usually. In cooler late Springtimes; instead the white carpet of the earlier Wood Anemones.
Copyright; Tony Heaton 2004. PIC. The group walking nearby encounter a challenging feature en route.
The Map - train/bus - Walks page suggests a selection of varied routes that you may like to follow independently.
Use of an Explorer Series OS map is recommended for all but the shortest routes.

Ham Radio Station David H. expects to be operating the Special Station on both Saturday and Sunday !
David brings his Amateur Radio equipment, during at least one daytime.
This allows GB0 GAF (Great Britain 0[riginal] Great Alne Folk Registered temporary Station)
to make a variety of contacts each year.
A pleasant number of these (on those frequencies which will carry that far) involve the chance to speak directly to Amateur Radio enthusiasts abroad.
