SAFEGUARDING POLICY
The Lancashire Association of Change Ringers (LACR) is committed to the protection of young
ringers and fully supports the principles of the House of Bishops’ Child Protection Policy.
The LACR fully supports the Child Protection guidelines issued in March 2004 by the CCCBR,
which cover the appointment of those with responsibility for tower management and training,
and sensible procedures for day-to-day management of the tower in respect of protection and
development of young people. These guidelines are consistent with the principles espoused by
the House of Bishops’ policy.
The LACR advises all Tower Captains to discuss the issue with their incumbent and PCC and
agree appropriate local procedures. In general, the LACR recommends and encourages adoption
of the CCCBR guidelines by dioceses, parishes and bell ringing bands as a practical measure to
protect young ringers and maintain the open, welcoming and friendly environment that has
characterised church bell ringing for many years.

BELL RESTORATION FUND
Objectives and Rules
1. The Fund shall be known as THE LANCASHIRE ASSOCIATION OF CHANGE RINGERS BELL
RESTORATION FUND.
2. The object of the Bell Restoration Fund is to give financial assistance to churches incurring
considerable outlay on installations by applying the income solely for the making of grants.
The following shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements for an application for grant, viz:
Any major maintenance, repairs or new work to bells, frames and fittings, such as recasting,
retuning, overhaul or augmentation.
3. The Fund shall be administered by the Committee of THE LANCASHIRE ASSOCIATION OF
CHANGE RINGERS who shall have power, after consideration of an application submitted in
writing, to approve a grant from the Fund.
4. The President, General Secretary, Ringing Secretary and Treasurer shall be the Trustees, any
two to sign cheques. The Trustees shall invest or otherwise deal with such sums as the
Association may place in their hands, in such a manner as the Committee may direct.
5. In the event of dissolution of the Fund, balances remaining shall be divided amongst the
churches supporting the affiliation scheme for such charitable purposes as the Parochial
Church Council think fit.
6. An independent examiner shall be appointed to examine the annual accounts, the examiner
to be appointed by the Committee.
7. No alteration or addition to these rules shall be made except at the Annual General Meeting.
Two clear calendar months notice, in writing, of any proposed alteration which does not
infringe the Fund's charitable validity in law shall be given to the General Secretary previous to
the date of the meeting.
Note from the Committee: Members are reminded that no grants will be made from the Bell
Restoration Fund without a written request from the Incumbent, Churchwardens or Church
Secretary of the church concerned. Grant applications received before 30 April will be
considered in time for a proposal to be put to the September Committee Meeting.
Grants awarded but not claimed will lapse two years from the date of application if the work
has not started by the. As a general guide, the aim will be to offer a minimum of 10% towards
the cost of qualifying work.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Ringing Members: a minimum of £10.00.
Under 18's and Pensioners: a minimum of £5.00.
Under Rule 3 these were due on the first day of the year. If you have not already paid your
subscription, the General Secretary would be pleased to receive it as soon as possible.
INSURANCE
The Association holds an insurance policy with Ecclesiastical Insurance, which provides
personal accident cover to a limited group of unnamed members carrying out bell inspections
on behalf of the Association. This policy also provides legal liability cover for all members of
the Association. This would protect members in the event that they are found to be legally
liable for accidents to third parties or damage to third party property. Many Churches will hold
policies that provide similar cover to bellringers at their Church. Also, many household
insurance policies provide similar cover for normal hobby activities. If you require further
details or are aware of any incidents that may give rise to a claim under this policy, please
contact the General Secretary

HOW DO I GET TO BE AN OFFICER?
Simple – each year, around the end of August, your Branch Secretaries will be informed of the
posts up for election at the end of the year. Also, details will normally be published in the
newsletter. Nominations must be received by the General Secretary by the end of October for
posts which will normally be taken with effect from the AGM the following April. This delay is
there to allow sufficient time for a postal ballot to be completed and the result announced
before the end of the calendar year.
Nominations should consist of an individual proposer and seconder (or a Branch can nominate
a person) and a signed statement for from the nominee that they are happy to stand. If there is
more than one nomination for a post and a vote is required then the nominee may also need to
provide brief biographical details to help the voters make their choice!
If you are interested in holding a particular office, please make your interest known to your
fellow ringers and Branch members and speak to the person currently in the job to find out
what it involves.
For the record the positions up for election towards the end of 2014 are: President
Treasurer
Fund Raising Coordinator
Public Relations Officer
Newsletter Editor (Presently Vacant)
Conservation Officer (Presently Vacant)

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
In comparison with 2012, it seems 2013 has been a relatively quiet year for the Association;
although ringing has been in the public eye through various initiatives and articles which have
appeared from time to time on Television or in National newspapers. Amongst others there was
the “Ringing for England” campaign for St. George’s Day, the Stedman Tri-centenary and a
recent interesting article in the Telegraph written by Alan Titchmarsh, who was taught to ring at
Ilkley, about ringing for Advent and Christmas. If you haven’t seen this article, it is still
available on-line.
I was pleased to be able to “take the Seat” as President at the Association AGM at Colne in April,
and my first official engagement was at the Dedication of the new ring of bells at Halewood on
a very warm and glorious July 14th. This was a joy and a privilege to both attend the Dedication
Service, and to ring on the new bells, having rang a peal on the previous ring of eight. The
Parish of Halewood, the ringers and friends are to be congratulated on such a wonderful
outcome from what must initially have seemed like an impossible task after the failure of the
structure. St. Stephen’s Barbourne should also be congratulated for making Halewood’s former
bells a first class ring in their new home.
Education and Training are in the process of being reviewed at the moment, with the Branches
being consulted as to what might be useful if we changed the format of our Educational
provision. No doubt there will be more development as time goes on.
On the Association Officers’ front, Roland Eccles has retired as Librarian after very many years
work, and must be thanked for his contributions. Roland is succeeded by George Lee. At the
time of writing we are seeking a new Safeguarding Officer as Christine Silkstone steps down
from this post. Thank you for your input to this important work.
Having already mentioned Bell Restoration, as I write the Dedication Date has just been set for
the restored bells at Barrow-in-Furness. This has been an enormous task for those involved, and
I look forward to ringing on these bells again in March. There have been developments at
Blackrod following Anthony Helliwell’s visit, and the restoration of the Todmorden Unitarian
bells goes on apace after the Presidential vandal managed to help wreck the 7th bell two days
before it was due to be removed. Some projects are waiting for Faculties, some are waiting for
money to be raised, and in some cases, both. Ringing has unfortunately had to cease at All Souls
Bolton, although this should be temporary, pending the huge £4m redevelopment of the
building which has now finally commenced. Regrettably there is no news at all yet on either of
the two redundant Bacup rings.
At the present time the BRF is still in a healthy state, mainly due to the generosity of all of you,
but, of course, once the big projects are completed the BRF will deplete substantially.
I have continued to be heartened as I heard of new bands being formed in at least four towers
this year. It is a very important part of our core that we recruit and teach as much as possible. I
know that recruiting new ringers can sometimes be completely disheartening, and teaching
learners from scratch can really take a lot of energy out of those who give their time freely.
Whilst you have my sympathy, you have my support too. Keep on teaching! If you need help,
please do ask for it.
The Training Days will no doubt be mentioned elsewhere, as will the Annual Quiz night and the
six and eight bell striking competitions, although at the latter I wasn’t informed I was supposed
to turn up at Halewood to give out the trophy – sorry about that! For 2014 there is a proposal to
return the 10-bell competition to its old November slot as it seems difficult to put it anywhere
else at the present time; the 2013 10 bell being on AGM Day and found not to be suitable.
In this my first Year as President, I would like to thank all of you who have welcomed me when I
have appeared at your meetings; my fellow Officers who work so arduously to keep on top of
the affairs of the Association, and to all who support ringing in your towers.
I look forward to seeing some of you at the AGM in the Furness Branch in April.
May you have a Blessed New Year and best wishes to everyone for 2014.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
I have examined the books and accounts of the Lancashire Association of Change Ringers
together with the Balance Sheets as at 31 December 2013 and, in my opinion, they reflect a true
and fair view of the financial position of the Association for the year ended 31 December 2012.
DYLAN MONTELL
Date: 10th Feb 2014
HON GENERAL SECRETARY’S REPORT
By the end of 2013, the LACR had a total 1053 members; up from 1035 at the end of 2012.
There are 632 Full members, 303 Pensioners, 62 juniors, 54 Life members, and 2 Honorary
members. Of the 1053, 80 are new ringers to the Association, plus the addition of 2 Honorary
members that joined in 2013. All categories of membership have seen additions, except Life
members.
Blackburn and Manchester lead the way with 14 new recruits each, closely followed by Furness,
Preston, and Wigan all recruiting 13, though there were no Proficiency certificates were awarded
in 2013
The 2013 calendar again saw a good turn out for both the Training Days, many thanks to
Barbara and all those who help at them.
Blackburn Branch hosted the AGM, with a variety of towers, over two routes open for ringing.
Ringing was followed by a service, tea and the meeting at Colne. Attendance was average, with
around 60 people turning out for the service, tea and meeting. All members are welcome to
attend an AGM, it is your chance to come and meet the people who run your Association and
put your views across.
Liverpool Branch hosted the six and eight bell striking competition at Garston and the newly
hung Halewood respectively. The change of date of the Ten Bell striking competition meant
only one team showed. Details of the results are given elsewhere in the report.
The Bell Restoration fund has offered grants to various projects, including some quite
ambitious projects. Please remember the closing date for applications is 28th April.
The BRF has again been bolstered by the funds received from the Annual Raffle and Quiz night
now organised by Giles Blundell and Graham Turner. Details of the Regular Just Giving Scheme
are elsewhere in the report.
BETH INGHAM
DEREK OGDEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
I have recently taken over as Hon. Librarian. My predecessor, Roland Eccles, deserves special
thanks and recognition, having been librarian for some 45 years.
The library remains in the Ringing Chamber of Manchester Cathedral, and consists of LACR
documents such as annual reports since the foundation of the Association, records of
membership, minutes of meetings, peal records, etc. There is also a collection of ringing books
and publications donated over the years, together with copies of the Ringing World going back
to 1912 and some even earlier ringing periodicals. The most recent list of library contents was
published in the Annual Report for 2008, although there have been some additions since then.
I intend to check through all the material in the library this year, update the list of contents,
and hopefully place a library page on the LACR website in due course.
I have already received an enquiry from the incumbent at Holy Trinity, Tarleton about the early
history of the bells and ringers there. The bells were installed in 1914, hence are celebrating
their centenary this year.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OFFICER’S REPORT
Inspections have taken place at the following towers:
Halewood’s ‘grant approval inspection’ was a pleasure - to see the new, lighter, ring of bells in
place. This showed the maximum use of the space in the bell-chamber, bringing this tower back
into active service, hopefully for many years to come.
Ansdell’s inspection showed what the sea air can do to the iron and steelwork of bell fittings.
Though nothing in this tower was critical, there was also much work on bearings, clappers,
wheels, and pulleys that, if not attended to, will gradually make these bells un-ringable. Much
work is required.
Darwen has been a difficult ring for many years, though nothing has proved terminal. One bell
has a potential bearing failure. The other issues prove to be mainly as a result of compromises
make during the installation in terms of rope routing. Combined with pulley and clapper
maintenance issues, and frame corrosion, there is plenty of scope for work to improve this ring.
Blackburn Cathedral had a surprise failure on the tenor. One of the bell bolts failed and gave
rise to concerns about the bell’s safety, and thus a prompt inspection was arranged. This
revealed corrosion of bell fittings nearest to a wall that was frequently wet (on the 9th & Tenor).
Professional help was sought and the tenor’s fittings were rectified quickly. The 9th, though
lighter and less at risk, will need similar attention.
Standish sought advice as their church was undergoing a major assessment for capital projects.
These bells are relatively and no surprises were expected. However, despite appearances, there
was one critical item requiring attention - the tenor clapper staple pin had sheared and was
about to allow the clapper to be thrown out. Otherwise, only minor attention to pulleys was
required.
The inspections, and reports provided, hopefully prompt the PCCs to take corrective action. As
always, this work highlights the need for someone at each tower to carry out routine
maintenance work.
Also over the year we have had quite a few phone calls asking for advice on an array of
subjects, I hope this information given has been helpful.
As in the past can I thank my brother Ray for his invaluable assistance, as someone has to crawl
under and over all the bells A BIG THANK YOU.
There is no charge for these inspections. We don’t always need to come out, and if we will give
advice over the phone. If in doubt give me a ring on 01254 393740 or email on
[email protected]
ANTHONY HELLIWELL
LACR FUNDRAISING CO-ORDINATOR’S REPORT
My work has continued this year. The 2013 raffle drawn on 5 January 2014 was once again
successful, with a 20% increase in ticket sales and a 16% increase in the profit passed to our bell
restoration fund over the 2012 raffle. The success is down to your hard work, and my thanks go
to you all. Thanks are also due in particular to Graham Turner of Brownedge for running a
successful and profitable quiz night.
Polo and sweat shirt sales continue to bring in a small income, and will allow you to show your
membership of our association. Details and prices are available on the internet at
http://www.merseybells.co.uk/lacr-merchandise .
I would encourage you to come up with your own fund raising ideas and to consider donating
to the bell restoration fund through regular giving: the BRF is a charity so if you are a UK
taxpayer then you can gift aid your contributions. I expect details of how to do so will be
elsewhere in this report.
Looking forward, the Association committee has asked me to prepare a batch of lapel badges to
be sold to members at near to cost price. I hope to contact your branch secretaries with more
details when I have them.
I am now in my fourth year as fundraising co-ordinator. I think that I have perhaps done
everything I can in the post so will not be seeking re-election in the autumn. Please think about
who might be a good person to take on the job. I am more than happy to discuss what is
involved with anyone who is interested in taking the role.

EDUCATION OFFICER’S REPORT
Hoghton again hosted the regular Basic Training Day in March when a number of enthusiastic
students were seen to make some very pleasing progress in the basic techniques of Plain
Hunting and Plain Bob. As always we were very ably hosted by Donna, Raymond, Jan and John.
October's Advanced Training Day returned to St Jude’s, Blackburn where some came for the
ringing and some for the excellent hospitality of Heather and her catering team who made sure
our trek up the towers would be more difficult following the copious quantities of food
consumed. Whilst the day was not oversubscribed those who did attend the event made
significant strides in further developing their method ringing skills.
As always thanks go to all hosts, helpers and tutors for their support at these events...we
couldn't do it without you!
In 2014 we will reinstate regular Education sub committee meetings. If you have an issue you
wish to raise, either as an individual or as a branch, you should contact your Branch
Representative or Me to make sure all areas of concern are included in the agenda for the next
meeting. I look forward to plenty of input for this.
A summary of the discussions from each meeting will be issued to all Branch Secretaries for
discussion at Branch level, as necessary. This summary will included the date for the next
scheduled meeting.
BARBARA MURRAY
AFFILIATION SCHEME SECRETARY’S REPORT
Thank you to all who have again donated this year. We have raised over £1600, which is a good
result.
The number of those donating by direct banking continues to increase. We are now up to a
couple of dozen donating this way; but, should you wish to donate in this way, please
remember to include your town or village as well as the name of the church. We still have a
floating St Mary, which I have allocated to a local village!
If your request for a donation goes to your church Treasurer, please remember to inform me if
someone else takes over that position. Also if your church’s name has been missed from the
affiliation list in the Annual Report, please let me know and I will try to put this right. Thank
you.

MINUTES OF THE LANCASHIRE ASSOCIATION OF CHANGE RINGERS
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
held at St Bartholomew’s Church, Colne on Saturday 27th April 2013
The meeting opened at 6.15pm with the President, David Burgess in the chair.
1. Apologies for absence
Apologies were received from: Keith Hackney, Malcolm Murphy, Harry Grange, Andrew Tyler,
Michael Leese, Anne Pettifor, Helen Rigby, Anne and Colin Tester, Anthony Helliwell, Stuart and
Suzanne Newton, Sid and Janet Lloyd, Dan Vernon and Kevin Price.Obituaries
The obituary was read by the President and all stood in silence. Ringing Members lost were
John Porter, Fr Stephen Cross, Peter N Harrison, John Ascroft, Geoffrey Cheetham, Ellen Parker,
Maud Shepherd, Reginald A Dorling, Thomas B Hartley, Nicholas Helliwell, Peter Midwood and
Gordon Wilson
2. Obituaries
The obituary was read by the President and all stood in silence. Ringing Members lost were
Rodney Sale, Stuart Berry, James Trevelyan, Jean Kelly, Joan Thompson, Susannah Cox, Frank
Currie, Gert Hennin, John Hopwood, Albert M Cooper, Bert Oldfield, Howard R Entwistle, Harold
Parkinson and Thomas Singleton.
3. Minutes
The minutes of the previous meeting were read, The following amendments were made:
1. Reports from Officers:
The Treasurer report as per the Annual Report was proposed by Fr L Martin Daniels and
seconded by Anthony Helliwell and accepted. The Treasurer reported that though HSBC is only
giving 0.0001% interest, we do still have free banking despite the large increase in activity from
the regular giving scheme. This is quite valuable. The Treasurer warned the meeting that the
level of the General fund may mean that we would not be in a position to make a substantial
donation to the BRF at the end of the year. 29 people are now on the Giving Scheme, generating
about £1.100 a year. The BRF currently has £68,717 available, but we also have about £60,000
in realisable units. It would be handy to retain these as they are paying around 6%. There is
£6688 in the General Fund with the reports to be paid for. The Treasurer reminded the meeting
that subs can’t be gift aided. Fr L Martin Daniels thanked Alison for effectively managing the
LACR’s money.
2. Election of Officers
Vice President: Simon Woof: re-elected
General Secretary: Beth Ingham: re-elected
Report Secretary: Andy Ingham (proposed by Bolton Branch)
Affiliation Secretary: Donna Jones: re-elected
Public Relations Officer: Ernie de-Legh Runciman: re-elected

The President thanked all the Officers for their hard work for the Association.
the minutes were proposed by Peter Rivet seconded by Nicholas Davies, accepted and signed.
4. Matters Arising

5. Correspondence.
Correspondence has been received from Barrow-inFurness about their Bell Restoration
fundraising and how it is progressing.
6. Election of Officers

17
7. Reports form Officers
a. The General Secretary’s report as printed in the Annual Report was proposed by
Andy Ingham and seconded by Simon Butterworth and accepted.
b. The Ringing Secretary’s report as in the Annual Report was proposed by Barbara
Murray and seconded by June Burgess and accepted
c. The Report Secretary apologised for the lateness of the report. 1275 reports have
been published. The Report Secretary felt that the advertising costs should be
increased. It was agreed that the Report Secretary should set the advertising rates.
d. The President pointed out a list of typing errors and other errors within the
report. He requested that the corrections be published on the LACR website.
The report was proposed by Christine Silkstone and seconded by Roland Eccles
and accepted.
e. The Treasurer’s report as per the Annual Report was proposed by Fr L Martin
Daniels and seconded by Frank Anderton and accepted. There was a question
about the Quiz night receipts. As it is held early in the year, they will appear in
next year’s accounts.
f. The Affiliation Secretary’s report is as per the Annual Report. The report was
proposed by Bob Moody and seconded by Celia Hughes D’Aeth and accepted.
g. The Education Officer’s Report as per the Annual report was proposed by Jean
Barnes and seconded by Nicholas Davies and accepted.
h. The Fund Raising Officer's report as in the Annual Report was proposed by Frank
Anderton and seconded by Shirley Pilkington and accepted.
There was some discussion about the date of the Quiz Night. It was explained that
it has been traditional to have the Quiz night at that time of year, especially as was
a good time to draw the Christmas Raffle. There was discussion about whether
the raffle needed to be drawn in public, the feeling feeling that it was probably a
good idea and it is easier to distribute prizes. The Quiz and draw are held on a
Sunday Night because the room ire is free on a Sunday. The Quiz does not have to
held at the same time every year. Graham Turner and Giles Blundell agreed to
liaise to see whether a change of date or and additional quiz night may be
appropriate.
i. The Public Relations Officer was not present and had not submitted a report.
j. The Inspection and Maintenance Officer’s report, was proposed by Ray Woods and
seconded by Edmund Rothwell and accepted.
k. The Librarian’s report as per the Annual report was proposed by Andy Ingham and
seconded by Celia Hughes D’Aeth.
l. Simon Woof remembered he had offered to donate his copies of the Ringing World
to the Library. He asked to whom he should give them Roland Eccles said it was
fine to give them to him.
m. The Conservation Officer’s report: Position Vacant.

issues.

d. St Barnabas Mossley Hill: There was some discussion about whether the details
should be in the public domain as currently they have asked for the information in
the report to remain the same. Peter Rivet and Roland Eccles pointed out that St
Barnabas received a large grant from the LACR and that information about ringing
should be available to the public. Nicholas Davies pointed put that ultimately the
Incumbent is responsible for who can/cannot ring and when ringing can take
place. David Burgess said he would try and speak with the necessary people at St
Barnabas to get the issue resolved.
e. 10 Bell Striking Competition: This was judged by Jean Barnes and Barbara Murray.
The peal speed was 3Hr 17 minutes. There was 1 minute 17 seconds of rounds
rung at the start which were not marked. It was a little uneven at the start but as
the ringing sped up the striking improved quickly. The piece rung was Grandsire
Caters. The 5th lead was judged to be very tidy but the 11th and 12th a little
untidy. The reverse rounds were good. The judges averaged the ringing to have
57 faults. 1 judge marked more harshly than the other but the judged did not
reveal which one that was.
There was discussion about the format of the 10 Bell Striking competition. It was
pointed out that if it is to continue on the AGM day, the Host Branch probably
wouldn't’ be able to enter a team as they will be busy elsewhere with organisation.
Celia Hughes D’Aeth felt that even if there were only 2 teams entering then it does
not make sense to have a competition.
Hazel Gibb asked why there were only 6 members of one tower allowed to be part
of the team. It was explained this is try and make it fairer for Branches who do
not have 10 Bell towers or who do not regularly ring on 10 Bells.
10. President’s Report
David Burgess read his outgoing President’s speech.
11. Date of the next AGM
The next AGM will be held on Saturday 27th April 2014 in the Furness Branch.
12. Vote of thanks.
The Vice President, Simon Woof thanked the incumbents of all the Towers visited today, their
steeple keepers and stewards. He also thanked Vanessa Humphryes, for all her hard work,
along with her team of cooks and bottle washers. He thanked Pam Nicholson for taking the
service and Lois, the Organist. Finally thanks were given to Wigan Branch for actually entering a
team in the 10 Bell Striking Competition
13. Installation of new President:
David Burgess passed the President’s medal of Office over to Fr L Martin Daniels and asked him
to take the chair.
Fr Martin thanked David for all his hard work for the Association over the years.
There being no further business the meeting closed at 7.38pm.

In 2013 the date of the 10 bell competition was moved to the same day as the LACR AGM. This,
unfortunately meant only one team entered the competition, Wigan. The judges were Jean
Barnes and Barbara Murray. The comments on the performance are included below.
The 10 Bell Striking Competition was judged by Jean Barnes and Barbara Murray. The peal
speed was 3Hr 17 minutes. There was 1 minute 17 seconds of rounds rung at the start which
were not marked. It was a little uneven at the start but as the ringing sped up the striking
improved quickly. The piece rung was Grandsire Caters. The 5th lead was judged to be very

So new champions this year, halting the Lancaster Bombers winning streak of two years on the
trot. The results were very close considering 160 points were available. As can be seen, 21
teams and approx. 100 quizzers on the night is a fantastic turn-out. Thank-you everybody for
the support and for helping to raise a total of £545 for the Bell Restoration Fund. I say it every
year, it is not the results that count, but the taking part and it really is true. Without your
support we could not have raised this amount.
Hope everybody had a good night and apologies for the late arrival of half of the supper. Hope
to see you all again next year, same venue, Sunday 4th January 2015.

The best part of this year centred on the branch hosting the AGM. In the end, this was most
successful, with ringing enjoyed on two routes & a well-attended service & meeting at Colne.
Thanks to all who contributed in any way.
Monthly meetings were not particularly well attended this year, but were enjoyed by those who
did attend. It was good to welcome new ringers from Bolton by Bowland, Gisburn & Padiham.
An outing to the Wakefield area was enjoyed , joining with the Preston branch . .
Sadly, we were unable to raise a band for the 6 or 8 bell competitions. As the 10 bell contest was
held in our branch on association AGM day, all hands were to the pump running the AGM
itself, which meant that we were unable to enter that either. The resultant non-happening of this
contest ensured a rethink before next year’s contest
Congratulations to Stuart Moore, of Barnoldswick, who rang his first peal, & Bob Moody, of St
Silas, who conducted his first peal
On a very sad note, the branch suffered a huge loss in October with the death of Kevin Lavelle,
of Darwen. A long standing member of the Association, he was the epitomy of all that is good in
ringing. He was one of the kindest & gentlest men I have encountered, & I know the Darwen
ringers will feel his loss keenly.
In conclusion, could I once again thank every member of the branch who has played a part in
making ringing in Blackburn such an enjoyable experience during 2013 Thanks also to all
incumbents & keyholders, who ensured a happy year’s ringing

Bolton Branch
(Meeting Day: Various)

Mainly due to my lack of organisation, 2013 has been a slightly quieter year for the Bolton
Branch, though there is still lots of activity at tower level. There is good progress from learners
at Westhoughton, Deane, Horwich, Leigh, and Bolton. The meetings organised were generally
well attended and a good standard of ringing achieved.
Regular Saturday quarters have continued to be rung at Westhoughton, a number with local
ringers only. Thanks to John for organising and other branch members for their support when
needed.
Deane has had an eventful year. A number of learners have swelled the ranks and are presently
making really good progress thanks to the teaching of Eric and Sam. Practice nights have
resumed. Also in 2013 the clappers were removed from the tower for a well earned
refurbishment.
There have been a good few service rings at Tyldesley and a number of weddings, the first to
have real, non-recorded bells for many decades. Much of this ringing was done by visiting
ringers keen to grab a rare tower. The bells at Tyldesley remain in a desperate state requiring a
great deal of attention, despite much remedial work done on them. They are difficult and hard
going. During sessions here we have managed to break both the slider and stay on the 4th (2nd
of the back 6). Many thanks to Taylors for making a new stay. It's a bit of a monster as it's a 3
and a half foot curved stay to fit round the headstock. It has not been possible to teach in this
tower, but those wishing to learn have instead visited neighbouring Leigh and Newton. Ringing
in 2014 will continue on certain occasions. If anyone wishes to ring here, please drop me a line,
but do not underestimate how difficult these are to ring. It's not for the feint hearted.
In June we organised a joint Manchester/Bolton trip to Liverpool calling at Penny Lane and
Garston, a chance for the Manchester ringers to grab the 8 bell competition tower. Though not
attended by many Bolton ringers, this was still an enjoyable trip
In October there was a dedication service for the new peal-board at Bolton Parish. This marks
the peal rung in 2012 for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. This was a well attended event, the
service followed by refreshments and ringing. The peal-board is now in pride of place in the
ringing chamber.
The Blackrod 2nd remains in an unringable state, but money is being raised to get it back into
action. Bolton All Souls has commenced a major renovation and conversion. This,
unfortunately, means the bells are now out of action for the duration of 2014 while the work
progresses.

Furness and South Lakeland Branch
(Meeting Day: 2nd Saturday)
Branch Sec, Mr Keith Hackney, Teacher’s Cottage, Flookburgh Road, Allithwaite, Grange-overSands, Cumbria. LA11 7RQ. Tel 015395 38823, Email:[email protected]
Ringing Master, Mr Hilary J Atkinson, Hawthorns, Sawmill Lane, Kendal, Cumbria. LA9 6AE. Tel
01539 728027.
The past year has been both eventful and exciting for our branch. After a prolonged silence, the
bells of St. George's Millom are once more ringing out under the leadership of Jeg Gray who
moved into Millom during the year. Also throughout 2013 we have all watched with eager
anticipation as the project to restore the bells of St. James the Great at Barrow-in-Furness
moved towards well-deserved success in December. As some Association members will know,
the full story of the success of the project can be seen on the Barrow bells website: www.
barrowbells.org.uk
Our monthly branch meetings have been consistently well-attended and we have been pleased
to welcome regularly ringers from neighbouring branches as well as from the Yorkshire
Association. Particularly encouraging for us all is our healthy recruitment level, 11 new members
representing 7 towers with new recruits progressing towards membership in the near future.
A total of 10 quarter peals have been rung on 6, 8, and 10 bells and 5 ringers have achieved their
first quarters. Congratulations to Carl and Rachel Hallows (St. Mary's Dalton), Sue Smith (St.
Mary's Ulverston) and Colin and Christine Brown (St. Andrew's Dent).
Sadly during the year we marked the passing of three ringers - Pam Orford from St. Michael's
Hawkshead, Brian Maudsley from St. Peter's Heversham and Alan Sykes from Holy Trinity
Langdale. All of them will be greatly missed.
Our events calendar for the year started with the annual Branch Dinner which was extremely
well-attended. In February also, a successful Bob Minor training day was held at Holy Trinity
Langdale, making full use of the tower's simulator.
In April several towers, in patriotic style, took part in Ringing for England with St. George's Day
being marked by a quarter peal at St. Mary's Dalton.
A huge amount of thought, preparation and determination by Andy Pollock resulted in a most
successful Open Weekend in May. The event was well-attended from as far away as Kent. It was
great to see all our towers participating with enthusiasm. The result was a significant boost to
the funds of the Barrow Bells Restoration Committee.
At the end of May 23 branch members travelled from Giggleswick to Oxenhope (via Settle,
Kirkby Malham,Gargrave and Kildwick) as our annual outing branched out into Yorkshire,
giving many of us the opportunity to experience Yorkshire tails+ for the first time.
As well as marking the birth of Prince George, our branch also welcomed Her Majesty the Queen
to Kendal and Windermere with ringing at Holy Trinity and at St. Martin's.
A record number of 8 teams entered the annual 6 bell Branch Striking Competition in August
which was, as always, combined with a quiz designed to occupy everyone when not actually
ringing. The winning team was from Kendal, performing a near-faultless Cambridge Minor.
Both this event and a Treasure Hunt in the same month made significant contributions to our
branch funds.
In response to requests from branch members, our final training session of the year was
designed by Kevin, our Training Officer, for anyone wishing to advance their skills in ringing or
calling changes on 6 and 8 bells.
The year ended with our traditional Carol Service which this year was held St. Mary's Church
Crosthwaite.
Finally, my thanks on behalf of our Committee to all those branch members who have
contributed in so many ways to our success in 2013.

Fylde Branch
(Meeting Day: 4th Saturday)
Branch Sec, Mrs Chrystine Butcher, 5 Mythop Close, Lytham, Lancs. FY8 4JS. Tel 01253 739618,

Ringing Master, Mr Stuart Newton, 75 Highbury Road East, St Anne's. FY8 2LG. Tel 01253

After all the local activities and national celebrations of 2012, 2013 proved to be a much calmer
year, although the birth of HRH Prince George proved the opportunity for general Branch
ringing and several celebratory quarters. In all fifteen quarters were rung during the year,
which included one first as conductor for Hal Meakin at St Anne’s-on-Sea.
Despite some misgivings owing to poor attendance last year, the Training Fortnight in February
and the Method Training Day in November took place once more and in the usual format.
Happily, this year there was excellent attendance, particularly on the Training Day, and most
people made useful progress. In addition, Sid and Janet Lloyd have been holding a learners’
practice for local towers at St Cuthbert’s on a Wednesday evening that has been highly
successful. On the first Wednesdays, this leads into the general Branch practice there, intended
to concentrate on more advanced, for us, methods. In addition, a monthly Saturday practice has
been held at each ringable tower in the Branch.
In August, our Ringing Master, Stuart Newton, was delighted on behalf of the Branch to present
a signed card and framed certificate to John Boardman of St Cuthbert’s in honour of his 60
years as a member of the LACR.
In September, on behalf of the Branch, All Hallows, Bispham, hosted the LACR committee
meeting, which means that Fylde will be hosting the 6-/8-bell Striking Competition in 2014.
Our Ringers’ Outing this year, organised once again by Richard Jones, took us to the wilds of
North West Yorkshire and Cumbria and, while the weather was very doubtful, the bells were
superb – Kirkby Malham, Clapham, Sedbergh and Dent, all recently refurbished and a delight to
visit. Thank you Richard for an excellent choice.
Talking of refurbishment, work has just started on the bells of All Hallows; St Joseph’s are
receiving estimates; Holy Trinity are reviewing the state of the bells with a view to ringing
again; and the St Michael’s church council has put ‘bells’ onto its ‘list of things to do’. A
promising outlook!
Our thanks once again to all our faithful ringers and to those incumbents whose bells we ring.

Attendance at branch practices has generally improved this year. Most of our towers have
featured in the programme, though the bells at Leck are at present unavailable because of
problems with the drainage system. The monthly Surprise Minor practices at Hornby have
provided an opportunity for the more ambitious to try ringing Cambridge, Norwich, London,
Beverley and Surfleet.
The band at Lancaster Cathedral has continued to flourish. Father Stewart Keeley organised
several more ringing outings for them, including one in May to the south western part of County
Durham. The places visited included Frosterley in Weardale, where the lightweight ring of
twelve in one of the outbuildings of the Black Bull Inn provided something a bit different from
the usual kind of tower grab.
The Cathedral represented the branch in the 2013 six bell striking competition. Thanks are also
due to members of their band for agreeing to host the branch AGM in November at short notice,
when the original venue turned out not to be available.
Further up the Lune Valley, Whittington’s practice has attracted a number of visitors from other
towers. The support its ringers can offer those who want to try something more advanced than
the methods offered at their own towers has been very welcome.
I am grateful to all those who have contributed towards the running of the branch over the last
year, especially as I have had to miss some meetings because of other commitments.
Particularly worthy of mention are John Preston for organising the Surprise Minor practices,
Deborah Preston for being our Treasurer, Melvyn Redout for offering his services as Education
Officer, Kay Hill for volunteering to put the library in Lancaster Cathedral ringing room into
good order, and of course Rob Pettifor for his work as Ringing Master.
We were sorry to lose Jim Hills of Burton-in-Lonsdale, as a result of him and his wife moving
south to live closer to members of their family. As last year, I would encourage all ringers in the
branch to visit another tower occasionally. It will be good for your own ringing as well as that of
the band you join in with!

As in previous years the Liverpool Branch has continued its established format of Business
meetings and mid week meetings visiting fourteen towers attended by an average of 18 ringers
at each meeting. As always we were made welcome by both ringers and clergy and my thanks to
everyone concerned in making these events possible.
The year started, as is traditional, with the branch AGM in January at Our Lady and St.Nicholas,
Pier Head. At this meeting the new committee was elected with only one position unfilled
(assistant secretary).
The first social event of the year was an outing to the Liverpool Cricket Club beer festival
attended by a select few but a good night was had by those who came!
In April 6 branch members attended the ITTS Teaching Bell Handling course. This was held at
Garston and delivered by Heather and Barry Peachey. All the participants reported that they
had enjoyed the day and had found it useful and informative.
In May the Branch Striking Competition was held at St Bartholomew Rainhill and judged by
Graham Hayward from Derbyshire who placed the band from St Michaels’ Garston first, an
“under 30” scratch band second, Liverpool Cathedral third, the “very Roughley” scratch band
fourth and St Johns’ Tuebrook fifth. Bands from Garston and the Cathedral went on to enter
the Association 6 and 8 bell competitions which was held in Liverpool at St Nicholas Halewood
and St Michael Garston. In the 6 bell competition Garston were placed second and the
Cathedral third, and in the 8 bell competition a Branch band was placed third with Garston
second.
July saw the eagerly awaited dedication service and first open ringing on the new bells at St
Nicholas Halewood. This was attended by 33 local ringers, the Association President and a
congregation of supporters, donors, fundraisers and representatives from the bell hangers,
Nicholson’s Engineering. Following the service invited bands including a band representing
those who had sponsored or donated the bells and a band of past and present St Nicholas
ringers opened the ringing after which general ringing took place. The installation, which had
involved the sale of the old ring with the new Eijsbouts bells being hung lower in the tower was
declared a success by all.
In August a branch training day was held at St Barnabas, Penny Lane and Christ Church, Bootle.
This was well attended with a range of abilities ably catered for by Mark Collings and Lenard
Mitchell and helpers. Everyone had opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge as well as
having a good day out.
In December the Branch held its second annual Christmas Carol Concert. This year it was
hosted by St John’s Tuebrook with Father Simon Fisher, a ringer and Vicar of Tuebrook,
officiating. After the service we were treated to mulled wine, sherry and festive nibbles provided
by the ladies and ringers of Tuebrook.
During the year we welcomed 8 new members to the Branch and look forward to ringing with
them for many years to come.
My thanks go, once again, to everyone in the Branch who has supported the Committee this
year. I wish the incoming committee every success.

Manchester Branch
(Meeting Day: Normally the 3rd Sat or a practice night. Please check)
Branch Sec, Mr John Lacy, 14 Marton Avenue, Didsbury, Manchester. M20 5LN. Tel 0161 445
2512, Email:[email protected]
Ringing Master, Mr Andy Ingham, 26 Kensington Road, Chorlton, Manchester. M21 9QJ. Tel

Throughout the past year attendances at Manchester Branch Meetings have been fairly well
attended. Once again, the Holy Week practice at Manchester Town Hall attracted about 50
ringers from far and wide. In June, the Branch visited St. Michael, Garston and St. Barnabas,
Mossley Hill (Penny Lane). These two excellent rings of eight were enjoyed by all.
At the beginning of the year more regular ringing re-commenced at Manchester Cathedral, with
a monthly practice and Sunday Service ringing. However the Cathedral was closed in April
whilst a new floor was put down. Services continued in a pre-fabricated building just outside.
Thanks to the contractors working in the building access to the tower for ringing was
maintained. The Cathedral re-opened in December.
With the help of Father M. Daniels the Branch held a morning meeting at Prestwich in October.
There is no incumbent there at present and also no band of ringers. In spite of the bells not
being rung regularly, they went very well.
The Branch calendar ended on a high note in December with a well attended morning meeting,
with coffee and mince-pies, followed by a lively lunch at a local pub.
Congratulations to Sacred Trinity for coming first in LACR 6-bell Striking Competition in
October.
My thanks go to my fellow committee members and everyone who has supported Branch
meetings in the last year. Thank you also to all incumbents for the use of their bells.

Preston Branch
(Meeting Day: 2nd Saturday)
Branch Sec, Donna Jones, 324 Station Road, Bamber Bridge, Preston, Lancs. PR5 6EH. Tel 01772
330941, Email:[email protected]
Ringing Master, Dawn Ashcroft, 24 The Hawthorns, Eccleston, Chorley. PR7 5QT. Tel 01257

We have had an average of 24 at the branch meetings this year, a good increase on last year’s
average. This was helped by seven teams entering for the branch striking competition at Brindle
in June on the day of the local beer festival!
January saw us host the LACR Quiz at Brownedge Club; thanks to the Brownedge ringers, in
particular Liz and Graham, for organising this.
Once again we hosted the Training Day at Hoghton in March, which seems to be a fixture in the
branch’s calendar.
Graham’s outing to Yorkshire villages in the Ripon area was a good day out for those who went,
and the weather was kind!
A joint meeting was held in July with the Wigan branch, which wasn’t very well attended in the
afernoon at Whittle -le-Woods, several weddings taking priority for the ringers, but the evening
ringing at Parbold was better attended.
A good day was to be had at Goosnargh in September for the 300th anniversary of the six bells
there. Good ringing and an excellent sung evensong were followed by a barbeque which was
much enjoyed by all.
The two teams, Eccleston and Hoghton, who went on to represent the branch at the LACR
striking competition, were outclassed by stronger teams from Manchester and the Liverpool
area this year, coming only sixth and seventh in the six bell competition at Halewood, with the
eight bell team gaining fourth place at Garston.
October saw a decent number of branch ringers augment the few from the Blackburn branch for
the joint outing to the Wakefield area. A good day’s ringing.
Fabian Stedman’s tercentenary was celebrated by Croston with a 300 of Stedman in November,
but I think that some progress in the method has been made this year, with doubles being rung
regularly on practice nights in the branch, with ventures into triples at certain towers!
Sadly, we lost Frank Brindle to the branch in August, several of the Preston branch, and others
from the Wigan branch, attending his funeral at Eccleston. He was very regular at branch
meetings when he was well, and we will miss him.
We should be encouraged by thirteen ringers becoming new members of the branch this year,
and hope they are able to attend meetings and get some benefit from the branch activities.

Rochdale Branch
(Meeting Day: 2nd Saturday)
Branch Sec, Mrs Jane Owen, 68 Kiln Lane, Milnrow, Rochdale. OL16 3JN. Tel 01706 633151,

Ringing Master, Helen Rigby, Further Whitfield Bottoms, New Hey, Rochdale. OL16 4NX. Tel

In 2013 we visited 12 of our Branch towers for our monthly meetings as well as our now annual
visit to Burnley in March. In September we had a very successful joint meeting with the Western
Branch of the YACR, which included the last (and rather dramatic) ring at Todmorden
Unitarian Church before the bells were removed for rehanging. The bells are now at Taylor’s
Bell Foundry and we await their return.
Sadly, at the end of October we received the news of the death of Colin Ashworth of Heptonstall,
one of the Association’s oldest members and a stalwart of the Rochdale Branch.
In September three of our our young Branch members rang in their first peal – Plain Bob Minor
at East Crompton. Well done to Thomas Chapman, Robert Hodgetts and Sam Noden!
On the social front, in March we held a Branch Dinner at the Baum Hotel in Rochdale and in
July, following the afternoon ringing at Leesfield, we enjoyed a bowls match. The ever successful
Branch Bonfire was held in November at Further Whitfield Bottoms Farm, with profits going to
the LACR Bell Restoration Fund.
Finally, on behalf of the Branch I would like to thank all ringers who supported the Branch in
any way during 2013 and incumbents who have allowed us to ring during the year. I look
forward to your continued support in 2014.

Monthly midweek branch meetings continued in the Rossendale Branch in 2013. Unfortunately
very few members of the Branch attended the meeting at Burnley. Thanks again to Richard
Parker for opening the tower for us, and for ringing with us!
A number of Branch members had a successful week's trip to Guernsey where they enjoyed
ringing and socialising with family and friends and local ringers.
A Thoroughly enjoyable day's outing to Yorkshire Dales was organised by Derek Tate. We rang
at Barnoldswick, Kirkby Malham, Settle and Clapham. This was followed by good meal at The
Whittchaff in Rawtenstall.
In October a weekend in the Lake District with members of Sodor and Isle of Man Branch took
place. We rang at Crosthwaite, near Kendal, before lunch at Mason's Arms; Hawkshead and
Brathay followed in the afternoon. People stayed at a variety of places around Ambleside and
Grasmere and during the evening enjoyed the local hostelries. Sunday saw us involved in service
ringing at Ambleside; the 32cwt tenor was a great contrast to 7cwt six at Brathay the previous
day. There was then plenty of time to shop around Ambleside and Bowness and to have lunch
before a final ring at Bowness.
A number of Branch ringers have rung during the year for weddings at St Mary's Rawtenstall, as
they do not have their own ringers. Despite this church is to invest in a new set of ropes, as over
the last year several have broken, one coiling itself nicely at Mike's feet. Many thanks to
Margaret's husband for his splicing expertise which allowed us to ring when required.
Unfortunately this year we have already lost two members of the Branch-Lisa Drury who has
moved to South Wales and Elaine Wray who has decided that ringing doesn't currently fit into
her life.
Very sadly Mike, Hilary and Chris Tompsett have also left the Branch, having just moved to
Devon. Their family has been a very important part of the Rossendale Branch for many years,
essential in organising outings, particularly food, in running the Newchurch practices, training
sessions, chairing the Branch and in many other aspects of Branch events. We hope their move
will not be an ending but a chance for us to meet with them to ring in other parts of the country,
particularly Devon. Hopefully this will begin with a Branch outing before very long.
Ringing has once again started at St Mary's, Radcliffe so we look forward to ringing there in the
coming year. Unfortunately ringing is not going to be possible for a considerable length of time
at All Saints' Stand, Whitefield. A peal had to be ended prematurely as pinnacles on the tower
were swaying badly. Investigations have shown that not only are there two loose pinnacles but
there are also two cracks in the tower. A steel frame is to be fitted just below the roof to stabilise
the tower and the church is applying for a grant from the heritage Lottery Fund. It could be a
considerable time before ringing takes places at Stand
We hope to continue to ring at the seven remaining towers in the Branch, with regular practices
and Service ringing throughout the Branch in 2014.

With just two towers on the Isle of Man and therefore a limited number of ringers we do not
have regular branch meetings but rather have planned extra or special ringing practices where
we aim to learn new methods as a group together. During 2013 we have held such practices at
both towers and have made some progress with various methods.
One notable practise was of Steadman, held to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of
Fabian Steadman.
As a holiday island we welcome many visitors to our towers and very much enjoy their expertise
and help.
In October we joined with the Rossendale ringers on a ringing tour of the Lake District. The
manx ringers based themselves in Ambleside and finished a memorable tour with Sunday
service ringing on the lovely local bells and then a quick ring at Bowness on Windermere as we
headed south to catch our boat home.
Some of us were lucky enough to join a group from Liverpool in the city area of London for a day
trip of ringing. This was again very well organised and enjoyable.
As promised in last year’s report, we held our annual dinner at St Johns. This was well attended
and a good chance to just sit and chat.
We have learners and improvers at both towers and look forward to them all being able to join
us for service and wedding ringing soon.
During 2013 we had two visiting peal bands successfully completing peals at both towers and
then offering help to the locals. We look forward to welcoming the next group of travellers to our
shores.
The local Isle of Man ringers have achieved at least two quarter peals last year and hope to
complete some more in 2014.
It remains to thank the ringing masters for their time and never ending patience with us slow
learners and to remind everyone that all are welcome, anytime, you just have to be prepared to
ring quite a bit!

Wigan Branch
(Meeting Day: 1st Saturday; 10 bell practice 4th Monday)
Branch Sec, Mrs Alison Ridd, 100 Beech Gardens, Rainford, St Helens. WA11 8EB. Tel 01744
885643, Email:[email protected]
Ringing Master, Mr Barry Hale, 15 Abbey Close, Up Holland, Lancs. WN8 0HE. Tel 01695

2013 has been another successful year for the Wigan Branch with ten branch meetings and ten
10-bell practices held across 16 towers. This included a joint meeting with the Preston branch.
The Wigan Branch quarter peal week was once again held in early March with an ambitious
programme of quarter peals this year ranging from Plain Bob Minor to Bristol Surprise Major.
For the first time in a quarter peal week there was a handbell quarter which included a first on
an inside pair. Congratulations to James Winstanley and Chris Barr who rang their first quarter
peals at the first attempt. Other firsts included two first quarters in Stedman Triples, a first in
Bristol Surprise Major, a first in minor, a first on eight and a first on ten. Congratulations go to
all the ringers involved.
The week was rounded off a little later than usual with the branch dinner on St. Patrick’s Day,
this time at the Hop Vine in Burscough where 30 ringers and friends enjoyed an excellent meal
with fine ale. Thanks go to Dan Vernon for organising the quarter peals, to Barry Hale and
Alison Ridd for organising the dinner and to all those who took part in any way to make it such
a success.
This year’s branch outing took place in the South Cheshire area centred on Sandbach and
included an interesting timber- framed church at Lower Peover and a sponsored organ recital at
Holmeschapel which we had to ring over! A very enjoyable day was had by all and our thanks
go to Dan for organising everything. In fact we are indebted to Dan in more than one way as yet
again he organised a ringing weekend this time incorporating the North Yorkshire Moors Steam
Railway. With the spectacular scenery from Pickering to Whitby and ringing at both towns on
the Saturday, a great day was ensured and we were not disappointed. Even those who stayed at
Pickering’s own version of Fawlty Towers had a good time!
The Wigan Branch team are the proud holders of the LACR 8-bell striking competition trophy
this year and also the 10-bell trophy but the latter was a rather hallow victory as, after a long
drive to Burnley, we were the only team to enter. After our own 6-bell branch competition, the
Southport and Rainford teams went on to the LACR competition where they came 4th and 5th
respectively. Congratulations to all who took part.
I am sorry to report the sudden and untimely death on 5th September of Rev Stephen Mather
from St. Peter’s church, Hindley. Anyone who has had a ringer’s tea at Hindley will remember
him for his wonderful hospitality and he will be sorely missed. A quarter peal was rung at
Hindley on 26th October in his memory.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has supported the Wigan Branch in any way this
year and look forward to more ringing in 2014.

Peal Secretary’s Report for 2013
In 2013 there were 203 peals rung for the LACR. This total was about 15% down on last year. 2012 was a
bumper year due mostly to the Diamond Jubilee. The rest of the decrease is presumed to be due to the
increase in peal fees.
The peals were rung by 193 ringers in 97 towers, 1 handbell venue and in 117 methods / combinations of
methods. Six people rang their first peal, three together at East Crompton and there was one first as
conductor.

As usual I take this opportunity to thank those who submit details of peals in a legible and timely manner.
It does help me to get the peals prepared and analysed without delaying the production of the annual
report.
As I was proof-reading for the last time I noticed a peal that has not been submitted or published in The
Ringing World, so I missed the chance to chase the fees. That peal and the one from 2012 are still to be
paid for and therefore in the report.
If you spot any errors please let me know.

Corrections to 2012 peals

CONDUCTORS PLEASE NOTE
1 - Send the booking fee of £1 per ringer and full details of the home towers of all ringers
taking part to the Peal Secretary within four weeks of the peal being rung
2 - Check all ringers are fully paid up members of the Association.
3 - Send any new non-residents’ subscriptions to the General Secretary
4 - Enclose the figures of any new compositions rung (or of any which has been rung for the
first time for the Association)
LATE SUBMISSIONS
Sending details of peals to the Peal Secretary at the last minute, long after they have been rung creates
unnecessary extra work for the Association’s Officers. It can also delay the publication of the Annual
Report. Please forward all the required peal information on time, with the appropriate fee. The
Committee has resolved that late submissions may be rejected.
