Virtual Belfry has arrived safely and I am delighted with the
programme. What you have achieved with the animation is spectacular!"

We've just taken part in our annual "Church Discovery Day", for which the
ringers had a stall inside the church (as well as "guided tours", demos
and "have-a-go" in the ringing chamber). I thought Virtual Belfry,
running on my laptop, would be a good thing to display on the stall.
It was even better than I had expected. The visuals and sound kept people
coming, attracting both adults and children; the "moving numbers" window
was excellent for showing how the changes evolve; and the "pause" and
"step" features let me show people the bells in slow motion. An excellent
demonstration facility - many thanks for making it available.

I am really enjoying the program;
I have not stopped using it since I recieved the code; having great fun, many thanks.

Thanks for this, Doug. I have got a laptop dedicated to bellringing and teaching bellringing and your software is excellent for the job.
What a difference computer technology makes to many facets of bellringing.

Thanks so much for supplying Virtual Belfry. It arrived this morning and I keep deserting my wife and mother-in-law to work on this fascinating program. It is a marvellous achievement and I look forward to delving deeper into its delights.

I think the help is some of the best written user assistance material I have seen for software of any kind - clear, informative and thorough [...] it is fun and easy to use, and has those astonishing images of the bells "in motion". Virtual Belfry is set to carve out new territory in the ringing software world.

The program looks very interesting and my wife and I are thrilled to be able to see the bells so clearly. Even our daughter is
expressing an interest!

It is not really very long ago that I could neither see nor hear but now at least I am able to hear my own bell and I have the VB to thank for that.

My addiction to Virtual Belfry is far greater than that of the most hardened drug addict!!
