Subject: Harry Windsor

I regret to have to announce the death this afternoon of Harry Windsor MBE. He held at one time or another many offices within the Coventry DG, being the President for 10 years. He was a member of the Central Council for many years until his death and was also a noted expert with regard to the effects bells have on the towers in which they are housed.

I will post the funeral details later.

Mike Chester

Does anyone know what time Harry Windsor's funeral is on Wednesday?

The Cathedral bells will be available for open ringing at some point during
the day but I need to find out what time to arrange it for.

Thanks,

Jeanette

There is a "private cremation" (presumably a family affair) which is to be followed at 1.00 by a service of Thanksgiving in Harbury Church on Wednesday 29th August.

Coventry Cathedral bells will be available to all for open ringing on
Wednesday 29th August, 10am - 11.30am.

For Harry's Service of Thanksgiving (Harbury church, 1pm) I believe that
ringing beforehand is for Harbury ringers only and ringing afterwards is
open to all.

Please pass this on to anyone I may have missed.

Regards,

Jeanette

Does anyone have more details about this outing ?

Is anyone in the Kenilworth area willing to give a poor-quality
transportless ringer a lift ?

Sorry for the late notice - chance to grab a ring of one!

Wolfhampcote (2*) 2.15 � 2.45 pm
This church is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
*It has two bells, one of which is hung for ringing
The building dates mostly from the 13th and 14th centuries and has a
memorable medieval wooden screen, as well as a Queen Anne Royal Arms
and the Victorian Hood mausoleum.
Please note: it may be advisable to approach the village from the west
ie from Flecknoe direction, as the track from the A45 at Braunston
requires extreme caution when traversing!!

Willoughby (6)  3.15 � 4.00 pm
Leamington Hastings (5) 4.15 � 5.00 pm

Service at 5.00 pm

Subject: Changes to ringing at Coventry Cathedral

Dear all,

Following the Coventry Cathedral ringers' AGM last week, the following changes have been made to ringing times:

The second Thursday of each month was previously being used for encouraging learners to have a go on higher numbers. Since this practice was often poorly attended it has now been replaced (see below).

The advanced practice on the second Sunday afternoon of each month is being incorporated into a Thursday night practice and will now take place on the second Thursday evening of every month 7:30pm - 9pm. Advanced methods are to include Bristol Max, Lincolnshire Max and Stedman Cinques.

The "Last Saturday" practice, which has been aimed at improving ringing on higher numbers for all Guild members, has been replaced by a quarter peal slot (7pm, every last Saturday of the month) which is for the same purpose. These will be quarter peals such as Grandsire and Little Bob on higher numbers. The main purpose is that each quarter is for the benefit of one or more Guild member to try and help improve their ringing / confidence on higer numbers. If you wish to take part in one of these, please contact either myself or Graham Hayward and we will be happy to arrange a quarter peal for you / include you in one. Alternatively if you would like to book the slot yourself then please let us know.

Thursday evening practices remain as 7:30pm - 9pm
Sunday morning ringing remains as 11:30am - 12:30pm

So in brief:

The second Sunday practice has been replaced by advanced ringing on the second Thursday
The Last Saturday is now a quarter peal, rather than an open practice
Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings remain the same

Regards,

Jeanette

P.S. Please forward this on to anyone I may have missed.

Hi all,

The Coventry DG will be entering a team in an Inter-Association Striking
Competition at Bewdley, Worcs, on Sat 27th Oct. The first team is due to ring at
2:30pm. I believe we will be ringing against the St Martins Guild, Worcs & Dist
Assn, Lichfield & Walsall SCR and other local guilds.

The test piece will be 261 Stedman Triples. There will a trophy presented to the
winners in memory of Gerald Hemming.

I currently have 6 spaces in the band. If anyone would like to ring, please
email me and I will put your name down.

Graham Hayward

Hello Graham, not sure if you got this on your other address so I am sending it again just in case!

The next quarter I am fixing is Mollington (nr Banbury) on Thursday 11th November - Kent Minorfor one of our local ringers. 7.30

The next is Thursday Nov 8th (a big gap because we are on holiday) 7.30 at Todenham, Gloucs. I know neither of these are in Warwickshire but usually we do go for towers around Warwick which are in Warwickshire!

Are you able to ring in one or both?

Cheers

Guild Members might like to know that Kineton PCC have backed a scheme
to fill the two empty pits in the frame, (after 90 odd years of
waiting! ;-) ), install sound control and to make the tower a training
resource for the area, with a simulator.

All is needed know is the money. I am sure that the ringers would

Good luck

I have had this message from Tim Weedon.

If you could help out please contact him directly

Mike




Hello Mike,

I am wondering whether it is possible for you to help us to trace
ringers who would like to ring for the wedding of Arthur and Jane on
January 5th 2008.  Both of them are very well known in the diocese
and I am wracking my brains over how to identify such people.


Arthur has been a Reader in the parish of Newbold-on-Avon with Long
Lawford for over fifty years and is chaplain to a host of ex-service
organisations related to the Royal Navy as well as to other
charitable organisations, and is Chair of the Governors of Avon
Valley School.

Jane has a very long history of service to The Girl Guides, including
as County Commissioner.


If you encounter anybody who would like to join in the pre-service
ringing, Perhaps you would be so kind as to ask them to contact me on
01788 560960 or timweedon@... ?

With many thanks for your help and best regards,

Tim
