Champion of the Year Award At the school Christmas Concert we displayed the Chester Chronicle 'Champion Young Person of the Year Award' , which had been presented to the team at the Grosvenor Hotel at the end of November. This is the first time the award has been presented to a group of young people and for service to the community in Chester. The glass trophy is engraved with the name of the team and carries a photograph of the group. |

March 2001 Unfortunate we have lost two of our new ringers and are now looking for two replacements. We\are sorry to lose Matthew and Philip - but Darren and Allen are establishing themselves as very able members of the team. During the half term break we rang at the Canal Street centre for Age Concern. We are currently practising for the Regional Spring Rally at Ellesmere Port. The team is considering making a tour of the United Kingdom at the end of June this year. It is hoped that we can stay with handbell teams in various venues and can do a joint concert with them. The proceeds from concerts could be divided between our costs and the host team. if any team out there is interested in hosting us we would be pleased to here from you. ( D.N.Jackson - Tel. 01244 350293 or E-mail at <jad@blaconbells.org.uk> ) We are hoping to leave Chester around the 20th. June and there will be 11 ringers and 2 male adults, Mr. Jacksonand a second driver. Weare also about to start fund-raising for another Americxan trip in 2001!!) |
