Bellringing in Singapore UPDATED

We are now in Ho Chi Minh City. 

Kin Mun was involved in St Andrew's Cathedral's ringing for the Bicentennial of Singapore - being 200 years since Raffles did a deal with the Sultan of Brunei.  The Singapore PM visited, sensibly wearing a casual shirt before changing into a suit for the service.  Pic of this below.  Let's hope ScoMo doesn't get any ideas.
We both joined them for their practice night on Monday.
Pics below. The first is from PL on Facebook.
Broken stays are a hazard for ringers.  This is the aftermath.  The bell keeps turning and pulls the rope and sallie upwards.  Unringable until repaired.

They are a friendly and welcoming band who have made great progress since August.  A tribute to their enthusiasm and also the the benefits of intensive training.  We ring with them again on Christmas Eve and one more practice night before returning to Sydney.
