Commemorating 55 years since the re-starting of ringing in the village of Coaley:
A slight variation(!) away from the St Augustine base method which we had expired, but when we found out we had an anniversary of ringing returning to the village, we had to claim it.

Coaley was privileged to be host the National Call Change Competition on the 7th June 2025.
The event was a huge success and congratulations to all teams that entered and to St Paul's, Birmingham for being the winners
We managed to raise just under £800 for the church with profits coming from the tea & cake sales in the church, the bar, fish & chips, buffet lunches at the hall, as well as the raffle and some very generous donations.
Thank you to everyone that took part, supported, watched, listened or was in any way a part of this historical day which has really put Coaley onto the national stage!
