Our old tenor bell has been bought by a church in a poor rural district of Southern India. We would like to raise the £900 for the transport costs. It is wonderful to think that this bell which has called people to worship for 150 years in North Yorkshire will now do the same in Southern India. If you would like to contribute to the transport costs please make a cheque out to Richmond with Hudswell PCC and mark the back of the cheque “bells” and let me or William Gedye have it. If you can, please also fill in a gift aid form. For any further details or gift aid forms contact Peter Trewby 24 Hurgill Road DL10 4BL, 01748 824468 trewbyp@gmail.com. Thank you
