Re: Ring Around charleston

[Dianne Cermak <dspc comcast net>]

I'd like to add my encouragement to Britt's.  Greg and I attended this event a couple of years ago and found it to be everything one could hope for in a ringing weekend.  Four participating towers, three of them within a few minutes walk of each other, make something for everyone available virtually all the time.  The bells go well and are interestingly different from tower to tower.  (A great situation for getting in a lot of rope time.) Charleston folks are very welcoming and accommodating, and there were loads of visitors from all over NA and a few notables from the UK as well.  The meals were marvelous, and even the weather was perfect.  We are definitely going again this year and hope we'll see others of you there as well. -- Dianne
