The Fernbank Hotel is a couple of streets from the church http://www.fernbankhotel.co.uk/ or the Red Lion hotel is in the town centre http://www.redlionhotelbasingstoke.com/ Please note these are ony suggestions, not recommendations!
Sunday ringing at All Saints is from 9:30 - 10:00am, although if there is enough interest we can start early. Other suggestions can be made if people wish!
For those who wish to come along please sign up (members only) or contact the Assistant Secretary. Please sign up by Saturday 3 March so we can get final numbers for the Saturday evening event, as well as place the peal bands.
