GENERAL SECRETARY'S REPORT

At th e end o f my R eport f o r 1974 I t r i e d to encourage members to tak e a more a c t iv e p a r t in th e working o f th e G uild . Looking back over 1975 I f in d i s a very d isco u rag in g e x e rc is e f o r I can see l i t t l e th a t has happened which could be o f much s ig n if ic a n c e in th e annals o f th e G uild . Our membership has f a l l e n - perhaps t h i s was to be expected a f t e r an in c re a se in su b sc r ip tio n s - b u t su re ly -tw o pence a week i s not much to ask as an annual s u b s c r ip t io n . I t has been s a id th a t th e G uild does n o th in g f o r i t s members bu t I would co u n te r th a t w ith the answer th a t one g e ts out o f th e G uild ju s t as much (o r perhaps more) as one i s p repared to c o n tr ib u te . I t i s worth ask ing o n e se lf th e q u estio n 'What do I do f o r th e G u ild? ' and i f th e answer i s 'N o th in g ' th en ask of oneself'W hat can I do to help the G u ild ? ' I f e e l su re th a t th e re i s some u se fu l c o n tr ib u tio n th a t each and every member could make and th e re i s a mass o f work to be done around th e D iocese.

In A p ril th e Annual General M eeting was h e ld in Ipsw ich w ith the S erv ice a t S t . M arg are t's Church and th e te a and b u sin ess m eeting in th e G a rre tt Memorial H a ll. There was a good g a th e r in g o f members and a f in e te a p rep ared by th e lo c a l la d ie s was follow ed by a somewhat l i v l i e r than usual m eeting, th e co n ten tio u s p a r t o f which r e s u l te d in a recommendation th a t th e Committee look c lo s e ly a t our C o n s titu tio n and R ules. The S tr ik in g Com petition was h e ld a t N'ayland and a t t r a c te d th e b ig g e s t e n try ev er. This was perhaps th e most encouraging p a r t of th e y e a r .Two General M eetings v?ere h e ld - one a t Stonham Aspal and th e o th e r a t B uxhail.On both occasions th e C en tra l D i s t r i c t were most generous in allow ing us to tak e over p a r ts of t h e i r m eetings. As a r e s u l t th e f i n a l necessa ry adjustm ents to th e C o n s titu tio n were approved and I am p lea sed to re p o rt th a t th e G uild i s now r e g is ­te re d as a C h a rity . The amendments can be seen elsew here i n th e R eport.

The E xecutive Committee has met th re e tim es during th e y e a r and d e a lt w ith th e ro u tin e a d m in is tra tio n o f th e G uild . The most im portan t d e c is io n was, as a r e s u l t of th e p roposa l a t th e A.G.M., was to s e t up a sm all r e p re se n ta t iv e sub­committee to s c r u t in i s e our C o n s titu tio n and Rules and to f i n a l l y re p o rt back to th e Committee and then th e G uild any recommendations which th ey may have. Your E xecutive Committee re p re s e n ta t iv e s and your Rules sub-committee re p re se n ta t iv e s should have kep t you up to d a te on a l l th e se m eetings. Your C en tra l Council d e le g a te s a tten d ed th e m eeting a t L inco ln and d e ta i le d r e p o rts o f th a t occassion appeared in th e ’R inging W orld’ . At th e tim e o f w rit in g t h i s re p o rt th e Rules sub-com mittee (P r in c ip a l O ff ice rs and a r e p re se n ta t iv e from each D i s t r i c t ) has met only once. I t took a co n sid erab le tim e to e le c t a l l th e D i s t r i c t re p re se n ta ­t iv e s to t h i s sub-com m ittee and hence we have only had tim e to meet on a s in g le o ccassio n . Another m eeting i s p lanned b e fo re th e 1976 A.G.M. Some in te r e s t in g id eas were exchanged and a l l agreed th a t th e re was need f o r some changes.

There h is been an encouraging response to our i n v i t a t io n to members o f th e c le rg y to jo in us as Honorary Members and support our work, b u t a la s , as I have a lre ad y s a id , our membership o f r in g in g members has f a l l e n . I s t h i s th e o ld problem o f f o rg e t t in g to ra y su b sc r ip tio n s I v/onder? I t i s up to each member to pay h is tower s e c re ta ry o r D i s t r i c t S e c re ta ry and not to s i t back and w ait to be asked f o r the money. Probably because of t h i s ( th e re a re o th e r f a c to r s to o ) th e in fo rm atio n needed to produce t h i s y e a r 's R eport has been coming in slow ly and your R eport E d ito r has had a v e ry d i f f i c u l t t im e . We hope th e Report i s a v a ila b le a t th e p roper tim e.

:10:

In t h i s Report fo r 1975 I seem to have had sev e ra l ’m oans'. I o f f e r no apology f o r t h i s since I f e e l th a t th e r e a l d r iv e and enthusiasm must come from th e members them selves and not from ju s t a few who may ho ld o f f i c e . To th o se who have h e ld o f f ic e and worked hard f o r th e G uild and to support me I o f f e r my sin c e re th anks . In welcoming th o se of you who a re new of O ff ic e , e sp e c ia l ly in th e D i s t r i c t s , may I ask you not to be d ish earten ed by th i s r a th e r uneventfu l y ear of 1975 b u t to be sp u rred on to s tim u la te more i n te r e s t and a c t iv i t y in 1976? A ll o f your O ffice rs a re working hard to t r y and make th e coming y ear one more worthy o f n o te .

My thanks again t h is y e a r to a l l o f you who have so warmly welcomed my fam ily and I where ever we have been during th e p a s t y e a r .

TREASURER'S REPORT

I have decided to se p a ra te th e T re a su re r 's Report from my o th e r re p o rt in th e hope th a t i t w ill be e a s ie r f o r members to understand . With th e in c re a se in su b sc r ip tio n r a te s one would expect an in creased income b u t th is has n o t been as much as wa3 hoped fo r because o f th e reasons mentioned in th e S e c re ta ry 's R eport. However, as th e Balance Sheet shows, I have been ab le to t r a n s f e r the sum of £238.50 to the R esto ra tio n Account. This account has b e n e f ite d a lso from c o l­le c t io n s and donations from some generous people and P .C .C .s . Two groups deserve sp e c ia l mention - th e la d ie s who prepared th e A.G.M. te a and, having c o lle c te d payment f o r th e food, decided to donate th e money (and t h e i r tim e) to Guild funds and secondly the m agnificen t e f fo r t s o f those who run th e G uild S o c ia l, whose work enabled £43 p r o f i t to be put in to th e R e sto ra tio n Account. The i n i t i a t i v e and e f fo r t o f Roger P e te rs (C hief T ie Salesman) must not go unmsntioned. So f a r we have made a p r o f i t o f £8 .47 on t h i s ven ture b u t i f Roger can s e l l th e rem ainder o f h is superb t i e s to members we stan d to make a t o ta l p r o f i t of £57*67* Have you bought a t i e y e t? The ba lan ce of th e R e sto ra tio n Account looks very p lea s in g b u t we must no t be too complacent f o r £895 of t h is i s a lread y promised in v a rio u s g ra n ts .

The balance of the General Account i s reasonab le and allow s th e normal work­in g of th e G uild . The payments shown as 'D onations to B e ll Funds' were made a t th e req u est o f r e la t iv e s o f deceased members in l i e u of w reaths. We a lso have ( a t 31st December, 1975) a c r e d i t balance of £13*67 a t th e 'R ing ing World' • O ffice . By keeping th i s account in c r e d i t we o b ta in a s ig n i f ic a n t d iscoun t on charges le v ie d f o r Guild ad v ertisem en ts . The payment f o r th e Report E d ito r 's cony of th e 'R ing ing W orld' i s low er than i t should be - he claim ed a t th e o ld r a te s ! A new b a tc h of re c e ip t books was needed during th e y ea r and a sm all account book has been purchased to reco rd th e d e ta i ls of th e Ju b ile e Fund.

The Ju b ile e Fund showed l i t t l e a c t i v i t y f o r th e y ea r - th e in c re ased balance i s due s o le ly to th e ad d itio n o f bank i n te r e s t .

:11s

The £60 f lo a t which was o r ig in a l ly given to th e Maintenance sub-com mittee has been accounted f o r in d e t a i l . Much of th e money was converted to stock which was d is t r ib u te d to the v a rio u s D i s t r i c t s . Some payments fo r work done and donations have been rece iv ed b u t th ey were shown on th e 1974 b a lance sh ee t under th e g en era l heading of 'D o n a tio n s '. Should you re q u ire d e ta i l s o f s to ck h e ld I suggest you c o n ta c t your D i s t r i c t M aintenance O ff ic e r whose name i s to be found l i s t e d w ith th e names of o th e r D is t r i c t O f f ic e rs .

The F inance sub-com m ittee hope, in th e n e a r f u tu re , to be ab le to adv ise th e G uild on more p r o f i ta b le ways o f in v e s tin g funds now th a t we can draw on the e x p e r tis e of th e C h arity Commissioners.

RINGING MASTER’S REPOST

The moat cursory g lance a t th e pages o f 'The Ringing World' during 1975 would have g iven you the c o rre c t im pression th a t th e number of p ea ls and q u a r te r p ea ls rung in the Diocese during th is y e a r has been sm a lle r than fo r se v e ra l y ears p a s t .I know th a t th e increased c o s t o f t r a v e l has c o n tr ib u te d to th e d ec lin e in th e number of p ea ls being a ttem pted , but a more prom inent f a c to r i s a growing re lu c ta n c e amongst members even to a ttem pt p e a ls . W hilst I have never been one to advocate th a t a l l our members should indulge in peal rin g in g fo r i t s own sake , I do urge you to show g re a te r enthusiasm when p ea ls are organ ised to c e le b ra te a p a r t i c u la r n a tio n a l, lo c a l or even p e rso n al ev en t.

We co n g ra tu la te Stephen C h r is t ia n , who c a l le d h is f i r s t p ea l t h i s y e a r and those who rang t h e i r f i r s t p ea l - M argaret B arnard , Stephen Fincham, Evelyn H artley , G eoffrey G rayston, C h ris tin e Jen n in g s, E liz ab e th Jen n in g s, Caro l P erry and A lbert Wade to g e th e r w ith those who rang t h e i r f i r s t p ea l on handbells - C h ris tin e Hayes,Alan Mayle, George P erry and Joyce P e rry . This resurgence o f i n te r e s t in handbell rin g in g in th e S.W. of th e county i s a lso to be seen in o th e r a re a s , n o tab ly in theN.E. and S .E ., and we look forward to re p o rts of f u r th e r p rogress in th is f i e ld o f our a r t .

One band in p a r t i c u la r has concentra ted on rin g in g in towers which have not been amongst the most popular w ith peal bands, Hepworth being t h e i r p iece de r e s i s ­tance th is y e a r , w ith the sco rin g of th e f i r s t ever p ea l on th e b e l l s .

Personal achievem ents in p ea l rin g in g have included L e s lie B r e t t 's 9 5 0 th .,C eoil P ip e 's 9 0 0 th ., John B ly th e 's and Stephen Pettm an 's 300th.

The 1975 A.G.M. in Ipswich was w ell a tten d ed , and th e S tr ik in g C om petition a t Nayland produced the b e s t ever e n try . Of the 15 teams competing, Grundisburgh emerged the w ell-deserved w inners. I t was good to see new teams competing, and we look forward to ano ther keenly co n tested com petition , in 1976, a t "Sarmundham.

I hope th a t in 1976 e s ta b lish e d bands w il l g ive se r io u s thought to the p o s s ib i l i t y o f a ttem pting re g u la r q u a r te r pea l r in g in g , w ith th e aim of improving th e r e p e r to ire and the s t r ik in g of a l l members of th a t band. W ithout f re s h goals and h ig h er s tan d ard s to aim f o r we a l l tend to grow s t a l e . Don't drop your stan d ard s to those o f your le a rn e rs - aim highl

A survey o f Sunday se rv ic e and p ra c t ic e rin g in g during th e y e a r has shown a deal o f a c t iv i ty in some a re a s , and a d e a rth o f i t in o th e rs . In the long run our aim must be to e s ta b l i s h lo c a l bands a t towers which a t p re sen t do not have t h e i r own r in g e r s . The Debenham band was e s ta b lish e d in th is way, and s im ila r p ro je c ts a re in hand a t H arkstead , S tu tto n and H o lles ley . W hilst 'c i r c u i t ' rin g in g i s b e t te r th an none a t a l l , th e s e t t in g up o f new lo c a l bands - which w il l involve much time and e f f o r t by th o se who undertake to t r a in them - i s ano ther aim which we should have be fo re u s . Your D i s t r i c t and G uild o f f ic e r s w il l be only too p leased to hear o f towers where th e estab lish m en t of a new band i s a r e a l p o s s ib i l i t y .

TECHNICAL ADVISER'S REPORT

Two m ajor fa c to rs have caused concern in 1975* The f i r s t was th e o o llap se o f th e top o f B ild esto n church tow er and th e second was th e e f fe c t of g a llo p in g I n f la t io n on th e c o st o f h e l l r e s to r a t io n s .

At B ild e sto n th e w r i te r adv ised the p a r is h in h is d e ta i le d re p o rt o f 1962 of th e very u n sa tis fa c to ry s€ a te of th e b e l l s , th e frame and f i t t i n g s , and th e tower s t r u c tu r e . In 1972 he v i s i t e d again in connection w ith low ering th e b e l l s to sa fe ty and p a r t i c u la r ly commented in h is re p o rt on th e m ajor cracks in the w alls in th e a rea of th e s ta i r c a s e t u r r e t by th e b e l l fram e. Alas t h i s a rea gave way on 8 th May, 1975 when work was in hand to r e p a ir th e tow er. Now th e b e lf ry s ta g e has been taken down and the w alls w ill he capped o ff a t t h i s l e v e l . The west end o f th e nave and th e south a i s l e were bad ly damaged and th e co st of th e r e p a i r work w ill be c o n sid e ra b le .
