Ringing Roadshow

6th September 2014

Newbury Racecourse

“Everything for the ringer you are and the ringer you want to be”

Open towers & trains

There will be towers open on routes to and from the Ringing Roadshow. The tower list has been announced; and do keep an eye on the RR website in case any changes get posted there. There are no ticketing arrangements for the open towers – I am sure that ringers will be happy to make an appropriate donation.

St Nicholas, Newbury

The nearest tower (Newbury, 10, 21-2-1 in D) will be open from 4.30 - 5.30pm. If the idea of trying to find convenient parking in Newbury concerns you, then it is possible to take the very short rail journey from Newbury Racecourse to Newbury Town and back. While Newbury station is a little bit of a walk from the church, it is probably no further than the nearest parking!

And while we are on the subject of trains, sometimes it really pays off to have friends in high places. A well-known ringer living in South Wales, who has influence with First Great Western, has been able to arrange for some extra trains to stop at Newbury Racecourse station on the day of the Ringing Roadshow. In the normal Saturday time-table, there is an hourly service. These extra stops will create a 30-minute interval service. The following trains going to the Racecourse will stop additionally:

The 08.18 train from Paddington (8.48 from Reading) will stop at the Racecourse at 09.09.

The 09.18 train from Paddington (9.48 from Reading) will stop at the Racecourse at 10.09.
