Nine ringers gathered to ring some nice Stedman, Plain Bob doubles and lots of rounds to see out the old and then welcome in the New Year.
Quentin, Mike, Hazel, Roy, Doreen, Xavier, Ruby, Helen and Andy - Our 2025 Band

The bells were rung to ring out the old year and to welcome the new year in. Xavier rang the midnight tenor for the first time tonight and the band rang a rang from very good rounds and called changes to Stedman doubles as well as a super lower in peal at the end. For once after many years it was lovely to have more than six ringers present. Happy New Year to you all.  Quentin, Helen, Xavier, Hazel, Steve, Andy and Mike ring in the New Year Once again a local band met to ring the New Year in as is tradition. Some good ringing was had especially the final leading down and our youngest ringer rang her first New Year in as a capable member of the band.  We last rang the new year celebration back in 2019 but then only managed to ring five and have not rung it properly since 2018. This year we met with a few more than we needed to ring the old year out half muffled and then ring 2022 in with open bells. We missed Ian and Jane who are now based elsewhere and remembered David and Dick (who no doubt heard us from the churchyard) and both would of approved of the nice touch of Plain Bob Doubles that welcomed the New Year in. Happy New Year to all.  Mike, Steve, Xavier, Quentin, Hazel, Helen and Roy rang this evening Four of us met to ring in the New Year and welcome 2020. We still managed to ring five and make welcoming noise but we missed others who were ill, particularly David and Hazel along with Ian.
Once again we managed to welcome 2019 with bells. This year we had a few more than usual which allowed us to ring some nice rounds and some methods too. For once we made the effort to properly muffle the old year out and then after a swift change welcome the new year with open ringing.
Ian, Dick, Helen, David, Quentin, Xavier, Jane, Mike, Hazel welcome 2019
 Mike, Quentin, Jane, Roy, Ian and Dick ring the New Year in maintaining the tradition for another year.
A group of seven of us joined to ring in the New Year of 2015 with some good rounds and basic methods even after the festivities. Many thanks to all who rang and helped Whitacre continue the tradition of ringing in the New Year.
