August Newsletter - 1st August 2008 Dear all, Here are the training venues for the rest of the year. My thanks to the county reps (and all their glamorous assistants!) for organising the towers:
The meeting on December 13th will be followed by Christmas lunch. There will be a reminder nearer the time with a contact number for booking a place – keep the day free! Betty has also suggested that those who are not too full up may like to ring a quarter peal or two in the afternoon. This time we will get definite names and fix up quarters in advance!! Please contact Betty if you would like to take part: btkservices@supanet.com or 01379 643293. We’ve had a productive month! First there was the quarter peal at Bottisham reported in the last newsletter, next we had a peal attempt at Tostock but after the third attempt, decided discretion was the better part of valour and rang two quarter peals instead! Tostock, Suffolk Sunday, 20th July 2008 1320 Minor (2 methods: Kent Treble Bob and Oxford Treble Bob)
Rung by members of the Ladies' Guild (Eastern District) to mark the 70th anniversary of the first all-ladies peal in the Eastern Counties. First in both methods: 2. Tostock, Suffolk Sunday, 20th July 2008 1260 Doubles, 6 methods: Grandsire, St Osmund, Eynesbury, St Martin’s, St Simon’s and Plain Bob
Rung by members of the Ladies' Guild (Eastern District) to celebrate the Ruby Wedding Anniversary of David and Evelyn Reeve of Wormingford. Lynda Lee wishes to be associated with this quarter peal. Also, the normal fifth Thursday quarter peal was rung successfully, this time at Palgrave - despite the very high temperature and the bell that kept going silent! Palgrave, Suffolk Thursday, 31st July 2008 1260 Grandsire Doubles
Rung by members of the Ladies' Guild (Eastern District). First in method: 3 Finally, here is the report of the last quarterly meeting. Thirteen members and two friends met to ring in Essex. After a good spot of ringing at Thorpe-le-Soken, the meeting was held in a very spacious church room at Great Bentley before trying out the bells, where a local lady joined us. Report of the Quarterly District Meeting in Essex arranged by Margaret Harvey and Ann Williams, visiting Thorpe-le-Soken, Great Bentley, Shrub End and Layer-de-la-Haye 14th June 2008
Due to a wedding commitment back in Suffolk, I missed the last two towers but understand a good time was had by all! Lesley Telephone: 01449 737991 E-mail: lesleyann.wilson@btinternet.com Eastern District Quarter Peal and Peal book. Dear all, I'm putting together the Ladies' Guild Eastern District Quarter Peal and Peal book. I've typed up all the quarters in the current Minute book, which dates from April 1984. The records of quarters and peals end in 1992, apart from passing mentions in the minutes but with no details. Can you help fill in the gaps? If you keep records and were in any Eastern District Ladies' Guild ringing at any date, please could you let me have the details? I can copy written records and let you have the originals back as soon as possible, but electronic versions would be extremely gratefully received! It would be wonderful to have a complete record of the District's history and progress, so please look out those old ringing records if you can. If you know off-line ladies who might have information, please could you ask them? I'd also be very interested to hear from any lapsed members, if you can contact them on my behalf. Thank you, in eager anticipation! Lesley. |
