Notes

All Clock enthusiasts are welcome, whether members or not. It will help planning if non-members could contact me first to give an idea of numbers expected.

You need to be reasonably fit to climb the towers.

Clock towers are dirty and potentially dangerous places. Wear old clothes and sturdy flat shoes. Steep ladders are often involved, so skirts are best avoided!

It is a condition of these tours that individuals take full responsibility for their own safety.

A small charge will be made for donation to the churches involved.
