:The Spring Tour 2025 will be held in South Wales, based in Abergavenny, held in memory of Paul Williams, who was a ringer in the very earliest days of FODS. The tour will include a visit to St Woolos Cathedral in Newport, where a new bell was installed last year in memory of Paul to provide a light ring of ten. We will also be visiting Bassaleg where Paul learned to ring, and there should be the opportunity for people to visit Paul's grave in that parish (with handbells). Otherwise, it will be the usual light hearted tour of the surrounding area to which ALL are welcome. The tour is being organised by Tim Hollinghurst.
