Next Tuesday, the 22nd December
there is a 2.30pm Crib Service at SMLT and ringers
would be much appreciated from 2-2.30pm.
On Christmas
Eve, we are ringing from 6-7pm for the Carol Service at
SMLT. If you want seats reserving for the service
then please let either me, Owen or Diana know. There should be handbell ringing.
I'm not sure if that tempts you or puts you off! It should be nice.
On
Christmas Day itself, after much discussion,
we've decided we will be ringing from 9.45-10.30 at SMLT.
As an aside, help
would also be appreciated at St Nicholas as ringing
is wanted 6-6.30pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 16th December)
for a Carol Service there.
If you can make any of those dates then ideally
could you
(01394 389354 or 07934 445232) so we get an idea of where we're at, though not
letting me know doesn't preclude you from turning up!

in the post. I'm sure that everybody is most grateful to Winston for the huge
amount of work he has done over the years in assisting with a very large number
of restoration projects. A more detailed tribute will appear in due course.
I am pleased to report that the Guild Executive has appointed Jonathan Stevens
to replace Winston in both roles, at least until the next AGM.
