English content

Text block 1

Bell ringers are being sought as church bells ring-out once again at Llandaff Cathedral. Not all volunteers have returned to duty following lockdown but the Cathedral is hopeful that new people will step forward to be part of an ancient tradition. Bob Woodward, Tower Captain at Llandaff Cathedral, says, " As life begins to return to normal we are hopeful that church bells can play their part in telling a joyful story. We have been cautiously returning to ringing at the Cathedral since the beginning of June. Observing social distancing rules and other precautions has meant that we have not yet been able to recruit new bell ringers as training requires us being in close proximity."The number of our ringers has recently been depleted for a variety of reasons and we will be eager to recruit and train new ringers as soon as we are able to do so.We want to be able to make the joyful sound of the bells ring out again so we will be looking for new recruits hopefully in the autumn.
