viewed as whole on your screen size. Move your mouse over the image
and if the pointer changes to a magnifying glass then this is what has
happened - just left click on the image. Failing this download the
image to your desktop and view it offline.

17-October-2005, 6:58 pm 		Hi Gary....any luck with the invitations...we would like to get them
out before Nov....and have it all done and organized before we all get
caught up with Christmas ...cheers Sylvia

 G\'day, I was just browsing through the net like you do ona rainy day and I thought I\'d take a peek at Motcombe. Have been in Australia (with no bells!) for 5 years now and was wondering how things were. Looked over the website and only recognised one face - Hugh, good to see some things don\'t change!! Maybe I will come and visit for practise one day would like to show my husband (Davin) and little girl (Amber) what its all about!! Hope you are all well and Hello to any of you that I know.

Message from Hugh

30th November 2003
 Just to say well done to all for the outing, really enjoyed it, and despite the odd e-mail saying ******* ***** as a response to the relative short notice to learn all those new methods and variations, we rang them all !!!
(Obviously 11 hours notice is adequate.)

Probably as well Manda couldnt make the tower climb in salisbury, some bits a bit hairy, holes in the floor,etc.

 Congratulations to the Motcombe Striking Team for ringing in the Guild competition at Keevil.
Thanks Liz for finding such a good pub for lunch, which we shared with Donhead st Mary,s team.
Bell's interesting, but I think we've learnt from the experience. Well done everyone!
