Foreword from the ChairmanIt’s amazing to think that I’ve already been in post for nearly 9 months as the me has flown by. I have tried to hit the ground running by a ending events and mee ngs in all of the Districts so I can get some ideas to boost a endance and fuel enthusiasm across the Guild. The recent ADMs have been quite revealing in this respect and have confirmed my suspicions that there is no one solu on to the ques on of how we can provide something for everyone. Those of you who have read my ‘meet the Chairman’ page on the Guild website will know that I am keen to make what we do as a Guild more sustainable by making be er use of our resources, YOU the members. Perhaps the best example of this was the response we had for the 100th anniversary of the Armis ce on Sunday 11th November with ringing at all but three of our ringable towers for this special occasion. We even received a le er of thanks from the Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, Clare, Countess of Euston, which is now available on the Guild website. She referred to the fact that more bells were rung in more church towers in Suffolk than in any other county in the land and went on to say ‘it reminded us all what good strong people we are, and what can be achieved when we all stand together’.This could not have been achieved without some excellent team-work (and mul ple email conversa ons) to ensure that enough ringers were in the right place at the right me. I am aware that some of the groups who organised ‘mini ou ngs’ were already in existence but I’m hoping that other groups who formed specifically for the occasion may now go on to support each other for other events such as prac ces, weddings, ou ngs and mee ngs etc. As ringers, we are always keen to tell new recruits what a happy and sociable bunch of people we are, so maybe the solemn occasion we have just marked could be the start of a more produc ve sharing of our resources across all Districts of the Guild. I don’t wish to steal the thunder from the other Guild Officers regarding their reports for 2018 but other notable achievements this past year within the Guild include:-

· Enabling nine members to ring their first peals within Guild peal week (RM report)· Winning the High Sheriff’s award for Suffolk Heritage (PRO report) – the High Sheriff

joined us at the Guild’s 95th Anniversary Dinner in March where 84 a ended the has ly reorganised event due to the arrival of the ‘Beast from the East’ earlier that month

· Comple ng major restora on/augmenta on work at Cre ngham, Li le Cornard and St. Margaret’s Ipswich (BAC report)

· Maintaining an excellent Guild website with over 2,000 pages of content – while I recognise that ‘surfing’ is not everyone’s idea of fun and that some members do not have access to the website, this is a very valuable communica on tool (Webmaster’s report)

· ‘Hatching’ the idea, organising, hos ng and taking the top two places in the first George W Pipe 12 bell striking compe on (Norman Tower 1st, St Mary le Tower, Ipswich 2nd)

Although 2019 does not perhaps have the same focus as 2018 it promises to be another busy year. The Guild will be hos ng the Ridgman 10 bell striking compe on at the Norman Tower in June 2019 so please come along and support the team. Mancro Ringing Discovery Centre – at the me of wri ng, two District training events have been booked at this fantas c resource in Norwich (SE in April & NW+SW in June). I would urge all members to consider booking a session here as it truly has something for everyone, whatever your aspira ons as a ringer.And finally, I will con nue to post a document on the website showing which Tower, District and Guild events I’m planning to a end so do please take the opportunity to come and ring with me and share your thoughts and ideas!

ObituariesGill Waterson, Pe streeGill learned to ring at Grundisburgh in the mid-1980s. Although her ini al visits to the tower were as transport for son Ben and daughter Molly, Gill was persuaded into handling lessons and quickly discovered an enjoyment of ringing which con nued for the next three decades. Her first peal was at Grundisburgh in 1987, in a band that also included Ben and Molly, but her peal total never reached double figures. Instead she loved quarter peals, ringing around 1500 in total, par cularly at her home tower of Pe stree, where she was a loyal member of the band for many years. She also became involved in the wider ringing scene in Suffolk, with s nts as Southeast District Secretary and Loes Deanery Rep. Gill passed away in July 2018 a er a short ba le with an aggressive brain tumour. She will be remembered as a steady, reliable ringer who rarely made a mistake, and was always there to provide smiling support for learners and friends.

Alan Foreman, Ipswich, St Ma hewAlan, along with his wife Audrey, were amongst a number of volunteers who came forward from the congrega on at St. Ma hew’s to learn to ring in the early 1990s. Like so many who learn late in life, Alan never found ringing easy, but enjoyed what he did. He was a regular Sunday service ringer at St. Ma hew’s and a ended weekly prac ces at Sproughton. A gentle, quiet and unassuming gentleman, Alan had a cheeky sense of humour and hugely enjoyed any ringing-related social gathering, par cularly in the years following Audrey’s passing. He was genuinely surprised and delighted to have found both a new skill to learn in later life and the associated camaraderie that came with learning to ring.

Rolie Whi ng, NaylandRolie learned to ring a er his family moved from Clacton on Sea to Nayland in 1940. He lived the rest of his life in Nayland. He took the lead in having the bells rehung in 1972 and was Tower Captain for over thirty years. During that me, he taught many people to ring, including his wife Diana and daughter Chris ne. Many of them fondly recall his infinite pa ence with them while they were learning.A quiet, though ul man, uncomfortable in the limelight, Rolie nevertheless made many ringing friends in the surrounding towers of SW Suffolk and NE Essex and held various offices in the Suffolk Guild of Ringers; SW District secretary for many years, Guild Chairman 1977-1980, and a Vice President. He was so well-known in Suffolk and Essex that Chris ne o en finds herself being introduced to ringers as ‘Rolie Whi ng’s daughter’.Rolie was also instrumental in providing a set of handbells for Nayland church, and conducted the handbell group in concerts featuring favourite tunes or Christmas carols. Entertaining the residents of the local old people’s home was a favourite venue.Although ill-health meant that he had to give up ringing in later life, Rolie s ll a ended prac ces when he could. He was delighted when in January 2018 a peal was rung at Nayland to celebrate his 90th birthday. Another was planned for October to celebrate his and Diana’s Diamond (60th) Wedding Anniversary, but sadly it was not to be. He was taken to hospital the day before it was due to be rung and he died peacefully there on 30th November. The postponed anniversary peal was instead rung in his memory on 8th December. He will be greatly missed by his family and his many ringing friends.

Maureen Slinger, PalgraveMaureen was formerly the Tower Captain at Palgrave. She died on 5th October and on 29th October on the a ernoon of her funeral a quarter peal was rung in her memory at Oakley.

Obituaries cont’dArthur Finch, Long Melford Arthur passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Burwell. Arthur was a member of the Essex Guild, ringing at Foxearth, where he was also the Headmaster of Foxearth Primary School. When he re red from teaching he moved to Long Melford where he joined the Suffolk Guild and was a member for nearly 50 years. Arthur rang regularly at Holy Trinity, Long Melford and supported the SW District for many years, climbing many towers including Lavenham right up un l he moved to Burwell to be closer to his 3 daughters. He was 92 years young at this point. A regular cyclist, Arthur took part in the Church bike ride every year, clocking up 20 churches each me, except on one occasion where he had a puncture and was disappointed that he had only done 19, especially as he didn't have too far to go. On 24th February 2018, we not only lost a ringer but also a very close friend, who is sadly missed by many.

Charlie Abli , Stra ord St MaryCharlie Abli , a long standing ringer at Stra ord St Mary, died in hospital on 6th December 2018 a er a period of ill health. Charlie was involved with the Suffolk Guild of Ringers for many years. Un l a few years ago, he had been Tower Captain at Stra ord for over 40 years and had taught countless people to ring. He was also a close friend of Rolie Whi ng who sadly died six days earlier. He was taught bellringing by Walter Bailey and he rang two peals, both at Higham, and both credited to the Suffolk Guild. His first peal was Plain Bob Minor on Sep-tember 27th 1973. He rang the 4th and his daughter Deborah, whom he had taught to ring (along with his other two children) rang the treble. The other peal was on 16th May 1981, Kent and Plain Bob Minor. Charlie rang the treble to this peal. His other daughter, Sarah, rang the second, one of two first-pealers that day. Charlie taught many youngsters to ring and a number of them went on to ring peals which was a huge achievement for him. Charlie also served as SW District Chairman for a number of years and was a very competent hand-bell ringer. Charlie and Pat celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary in 2006 and the Guild rang a peal to commemorate this; and again in 2010 to celebrate Charlie’s 80th Birthday.

Charlie’s death is a huge loss to ringing, to the village of Stra ord St Mary, his many friends and of course, most of all to his family.

Ray Rivers, Una ached (Great Yarmouth Minster)Ray Rivers, who was 85, lived at Oulton Broad, but did much of his ringing with the Suffolk Guild. He was a regular ringer at Halesworth for some years and more recently at Rumburgh. He learned to ring at Hurst in Berkshire in his teens. Later in life he lived and rang at Great Yarmouth. A er a few years’ gap he returned to ringing in 1992 when his wife Bel learned to ring. Together they helped develop the band at Yarmouth and Ray called a local band peal there for the Millennium. In all, he rang 29 peals, 8 for the Suffolk Guild, and numerous quar-ters, mostly in Suffolk. He was a gentle, likeable man who would go out of his way to support ringing within a wide radius of his home.Don Mills, BuresDon passed away on 2nd April 2018. He was a great family man who had a life-long associa-

on with bell ringing with most of his ringing along the Suffolk/Essex border. Don was taught to ring by his father Leslie and together with his mother they formed a talented ringing family. A peal of Minor at Wormingford in 1953 was Don’s first as conductor. A peal of Plain Bob Minor at Pebmarsh in February 1954, by a teenage all-Bures band, average age 15 years 1 month and called by Don, set a record for the youngest band ever to have achieved this.Don’s father Leslie was instrumental in augmen ng the ring to eight in 1951, which Don managed as tower captain when his father re red. Don was a highly talented ringer who taught many people to handle a bell and subsequently gave great support to anyone learning. A peal was rung in his memory at St. Mary’s, Bures on 19th July 2018. May he rest in peace.

Trustees’ Annual ReportThe Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.CharityThe Suffolk Guild of Ringers was registered with the Charity Commission on 10 December 1975, registra on number 266869. The Charity's registered address is Denton House, Colchester Road, Ardleigh, Colchester, CO7 7NS. It is governed under a cons tu on originally registered in 1977 and most recently revised in 2017.Principal Objec vesThe purpose of the Charity is to promote and encourage the prac ce of bellringing within the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich; to recruit, train and encourage bellringers in the prac ce of their art; to cul vate the art of scien fic change ringing; and to promote and advise on the preserva on of bells in an efficient condi on.TrusteesThe Trustees during the period were, 1st Jan-7th April 2018: Chairman: A F Stanley Treasurer: O P Claxton Secretary: C N Melville 7th April – 31st December 2018Chairman: R P Wilson Treasurer: S A Cheek Secretary: C N Melville Review of Progress and Achievements Bellringing The Guild aims to offer support to its members to not only ring for Sunday service and prac ce nights but also to improve and progress their ringing. District events have been held across the whole Guild including open prac ces, quarter peal weeks/months, training ac vi es, ou ngs and social gatherings. Whilst the number of people a ending these events is difficult to gauge, a broad spectrum of the membership get involved with these and hopefully benefit from the opportunity to ring at different towers and meet other ringers.The total of quarter peals rung has increased this year to 450 (441 in 2017) but the number of people involved remains fairly steady at 374 (379 in 2017) as does the number of towers at 98. Peals rung in 2018 have also increased from 103 to 108 (the highest since 2014) in 48 Suffolk towers and this year includes two 12 bell peals. This increase is due largely to the re-introduc on of peal week which also enabled nine ringers to ring their first peals. The Recruitment and Training Commi ee con nues to hold quarterly mee ngs to review training and recruitment ac vi es and opportuni es across the Guild. This year the commi ee a ended Gather 2018 and used the mini ring to encourage young people from across the Diocese to ‘have a go’. An exci ng new opportunity also now exists in Norwich with the opening of the Mancro Ringing Discovery centre and members are being encouraged to make use of these state of the art training facili es.The commemora on of the end of WW1 created a lot of opportuni es in 2018 through peals (13 rung), quarter peals and Ringing Remembers with 30 new ringers being recruited. Armis ce 100 on Sunday 11th November was the pinnacle of achievement for the year with ringing at all but three of the ringable towers in the Guild at some point during the weekend.The excellent news that we had won the Suffolk Heritage Award was announced at the Guild’s 95th Anniversary Dinner held at Elmswell in March which was a ended by the High Sheriff himself. Even the Beast from the East couldn’t stop 84 people from enjoying this five yearly occasion although it did delay it by three weeks!

Restora on ac vi es 2018 has been another busy year for the Belfry Advisory Commi ee with three major restora ons being completed at Cre ngham, Li le Cornard & St. Margaret’s Ipswich. The teams of people who worked on these prominent restora ons are to be congratulated for their determina on and hard work as the resul ng peals of bells are an important addi on to the rings of bells rated as condi on 10 within the Guild. The work of the BAC is never- ending however and projects in the pipeline include Redgrave, Stowmarket, Laxfield, Fornham St. Mar n, Combs and Hitcham.

Guild FinancesReserves Policy In line with advice from Larking Gowen, the appointed examiners for the Guild, the Trustees have formulated a Reserves Policy. The Guild will expect to hold at the bank a surplus of approximately one year’s running costs.

PoliciesAll money in the Guild's funds not required for day-to-day purposes is invested or deposit-ed by the Treasurer, as directed by the Guild Management Commi ee (GMC). Grants from the Restora on Fund are authorised by the GMC, but are only paid a er completed work has been approved by the Guild Ringing Master and the Technical Adviser. Grants are normally only offered for work to restore bells and their fi ngs for full-circle ringing, but may include augmenta on and other ancillary work associated with any such project. In order to respond to the short-term need to provide financial support to training ac vi es, the GMC introduced a process to enable grants of up to £50 to be made immediately, at the discre on of the Ringing Master, and grants of up to £500 to be made within seven days at the discre on of the Guild Execu ve, in both cases subject to appropriate records being kept and presented to the GMC. As an enabling measure, the Public Rela ons Officer has been given a budget, the purpose being to enable greater flexibility, and faster reac on, to PR recruitment opportuni es when they arise.

General Fund Net income to the General Fund, before transfers to the Restora on Fund, was 51% up on 2017. However, a er transfers for subsidising the Guild Dinner and half of all subscrip ons/peal fees, there was an increase of just £1,744.15 year on year. It should be noted that this modest increase resulted mainly from an extraordinary dona on of £1,000 from the Suffolk Community Founda on, and as in recent years the only guaranteed income to the General Fund (i.e. 50% of subscrip ons) did not meet our expenses.

Restora on Fund At year end the Restora on Fund totalled £57,795.64, including £38,850.00 already allocated for approved grants and awai ng payment. This leaves just £18,945.64 available for new grant applica ons.During the year grants totalling £28,900.00 were approved for Stowmarket (£11,000), Laxfield (£12,000), Fornham St Mar n (£5,600) and Gt Barton (£300).

Other Restricted Funds:The Golden Bo le Trust Fund provided £142 for training ac vi es and stands at £4858.00.All other restricted funds (Library Fund, Handbell Fund, Jubilee Fund, Pipe Family Trust Fund and St Peter’s Sudbury Fund) have posi ve balances.

Belfry Advisory Commi ee Report—Winston GirlingThe Commi ee met in February, June and October in 2018 and discussed a great deal of voluntary work carried out by Members. Together with the usual jobs, both small and large, a lot of me was taken up in discussing applica ons for grants from the Guild Restora on Fund. Three major restora ons have completed during 2018, and there are also several others where your Technical Advisor and also the Diocesan Advisor have visited and reported with a view to restora on.

In my view the crowning glory of 2018 must be the comple on of restora on at St. Margaret’s, Ipswich. At the Dedica on on 29th April, before a packed Church, the bells were rung and proved that this project has been a great success. John and Shirley Girt and all involved are to be complimented on their hard work, overcoming many difficul es along the way, to bring this to such a successful conclusion. It was a great privilege to be asked to ring in the touch a er the service.

Details of the scheme can be obtained from Winston Girling (see page 4)

The bells at Cre ngham were completed a er major restora on and augmenta on to six. Similarly, Li le Cornard bells have now been dedicated and at both towers the result has been very successful, providing two, easy-to-ring and pleasant sixes. Together with St. Margaret’s we now have three more peals of bells which can be rated as condi on 10. Again, all concerned are to be complimented on their worthwhile hard work and determina on.

In addi on, as I write, I understand that Redgrave bells, together with the repaired mber frame, should be returned to the tower and all up and ringing by very early in 2019. It will be interes ng to see and hear the results of this difficult and protracted major restora on. Originally these bells should have been augmented. However, major objec ons by the owners of this redundant church le only the op on of keeping the original 6 bells and returning them to the mber frame.

Grants have also been offered to Stowmarket, Laxfield and Fornham St. Mar n. In addi on there are several other towers, including Combs and Hitcham, where restora ons may soon be underway.

I would like to thank the Members of the BAC who, along with others, have worked hard to keep our bells up and running and will con nue to do so. No doubt 2019 will be just as challenging.

Parish Affilia on SchemeWe acknowledge, with gra tude, the support for the work of our Guild, shown by the following parishes who have joined our Affilia on Scheme.

Ringing Master’s Report –Tom ScaseIn the Annual Report last year, I men oned 2017 had glimpses of what we can achieve in terms of promo ng and delivering opportuni es in ringing, and hoped 2018 would see a greater propor on of me spent focusing on this. In this respect, I feel we have made progress. The re-introduc on of a peal week, for example, saw nine first pealers – congratula ons to: Joe Findlay, Ma Newson, Tig Sweet, Yasmin Haddock, Carmen Wright, Zoe Wright, Joshua Watkins, Kate Gill and Jimmy Yeoman. Congratula ons to Sue Williamson who also rang her first peal during the year. Ten first pealers during the year is a significant achievement – par cularly compared with recent years. It would be good, though, to see these first pealers being encouraged to ring more; as I write, only Joshua and Jimmy have gone on to ring another peal. The ini a ve to ring at as many towers as possible on Sunday 11th November 2018 for Armis ce 100 was a great success, both as a commemora on of the Great War and as a means of promo ng our art. Only a handful of rings across the Guild were not rung at some point on Saturday 10th/Sunday 11th November 2018 – thank you to everyone who gave up their me to help achieve this. Thank you, also, to all involved in helping bring this to frui on, par cularly Neal Dodge whose coordina on was invaluable, and to Councillor, and former ringer, Robin Vickery whose conversa on with me back in June 2017 was the catalyst for this idea.I was pleased to have a ended the South East and North East Annual District Mee ngs (ADMs); unfortunately I was unable to a end the South West or North West ADMs, due to other commitments. I would like to a end more District events and prac ces in 2019, and will endeavour to do so, although it’s difficult to fit everything in some mes!Each year, the Guild Striking Compe ons provide an incen ve to focus on good striking. The 2018 six bell compe ons were held at Earl Stonham. Congratula ons to Ipswich, St Mary Le Tower on winning the Mitson Shield method compe on and to Great Barton on winning the Lester Bre call change compe on. The eight bell compe on was held at Debenham. Congratula ons to the South East District on winning the Rose Trophy Compe on. Our thanks go to Cherril and Jeremy Spiller for judging, and delivering very construc ve comments. I appreciate feedback, and there have been various sugges ons and discussions about the possibility of re-introducing a set method and touch for the eight bell compe on in 2019. The rules allow for this, and as such it’s an approach I’ll give serious considera on to. If you have a view, do let me know. The 2018 Ridgman Trophy compe on was held at St Peter’s, St Albans, and the ten ringers represen ng the Guild were placed fourth, as was the case in 2017. Once again, this was a respectable placing, though, if the truth is told, the three teams above us had significantly fewer faults, so there’s s ll some way to go. The Ridgman Trophy is due to be held in Bury St Edmunds in 2019, let’s see whether home advantage helps.Quarter peal ringing con nues throughout Suffolk and, as usual, Neal Dodge’s excellent analysis is an interes ng read. There were a few more quarters in Suffolk in 2018 compared to 2017; however the number is s ll fewer than 2016 and over 100 fewer than 2015. I don’t think the details of my next sentence have changed from any of my previous reports! This is because Pe stree remains the leading tower for quarter peals, and David and Lesley Steed the most prolific quarter peal ringers in Suffolk. Eight ringers rang their first quarter peals during the year – well done to: Tim Forsey, Helen Bridgman, Derek Gadd, Rachel Tunbridge, Ellie Harle, Ben Turpin, Sidney Ricke s and Keith Dennis. Apologies if I’ve missed any. Turning to peal ringing, I have already highlighted the success of peal week; however in overall terms, peals for the Guild remain in a rela vely healthy state, par cularly when compared with some of our neighbouring Associa ons. Peals rung for the Guild in 2018

14

remain at compara vely consistent number, increasing by five, to 108, compared with 2017. More Guild members, 123, rang a peal for the Guild in 2018 (34 more than in 2017). However, some of this can be a ributed to a notable number of Non-Resident Life members ringing peals with our Guild.Thanks to Pealbase, I note the following personal achievements: 2,200th as conductor – David G Salter; 1,900th peal and 700th as conductor – Alan P Mayle; 1,600th peal – Mary E Dunbavin; 1,100th peal – Cherril Spiller; 1,000th peal – Brian E Whi ng; 600th peal – Chris-

ne A Knight, Richard Munnings and Winston Girling; 400th peal – Neville F Whi ell; 350th peal – Ian J Culham; 300th peal – Jed Fla ers; 250th peal – Nigel F C Gale; 200th peal – David A Po s and P Mark Ogden; 50th peal – Michael J Cowling and Rowan P Wilson. Apologies if I’ve missed any.The annual Veterans’ a ernoon at Debenham was, as usual, an enjoyable event. Held on the a ernoon of the second Wednesday in July, each year, this is an event to put in your diaries now! The Suffolk Guild Dinner, despite the unavoidable postponement of the original date due to snow, was an enjoyable event – thanks to Carl Melville and par cularly Alan Stanley for their efforts in ensuring this all came together.I have con nued to a end some Belfry Advisor Commi ee (BAC) mee ngs throughout 2018, and would like to reiterate our thanks to Winston Girling and the BAC members for all the me and hard work they put in, in helping maintain our rings. Equally, there are other members who have helped with restora ons and maintenance and we are grateful to them for their support too – I know, for example, Jed Fla ers’ assistance with the re-hanging and augmenta on at Cre ngham was greatly appreciated.In 2019, let’s all con nue to support our Guild, the events our Districts organise for the benefit of each and every member, our local prac ce nights, and most importantly service ringing. In doing this, and more, we will con nue to provide ringing opportuni es across Suffolk.

Secretary’s Report - Rev Carl MelvilleThis year has been par cularly quiet. I am asked for fewer and fewer hard copies of the report as more informa on is found on our brilliant Guild website, church websites and on the web in general.General Management Commi ee mee ngs usually run smoothly and my thanks go to Neal Dodge in par cular who has helped with minute taking and mee ng paperwork in my absence.

Membership Secretary’s Report - Mary GarnerThe total membership at the end of 2018 was 756, compared with 749 in 2017. Forty two new members were elected during 2018. Sadly eight members passed away during the year. Twenty five people did not renew, a handful “rejoined” and a small number moved away.

A General Data Protec on Regula on (GDPR) exercise was undertaken at the beginning of May. I believe that all those members and non members whose details appear on the website and in the Handbook have given their agreement as necessary.

If a ringer in your tower is ready to join the Guild please ensure that an Applica on Form is completed and passed to your District Secretary, together with their subscrip on, for their elec on. Once the form is received by the Membership Secretary a welcome le er from the Chairman is despatched together with a leaflet which contains informa on about Guild contacts and the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers and more besides. A cer ficate of membership is prepared.

If you move house, change your email address, change home tower, please don’t forget to let me know. Mary Garner, [email protected] , 01728 746097Thong Hall, Wickham Market, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP13 0NG

Public Rela ons Officer’s Report - Neal Dodge2018 commenced with Alan Stanley and I having the pleasure of accep ng the High Sheriff’s Suffolk Heritage Award on behalf of the Guild from the Suffolk Community Founda on. This was in recogni on of the Guild’s role in cherishing our county’s history and heritage. We were up against some extremely tough compe on, so it just proves that the work we undertake is outstanding and literally award-winning! We don't o en consider the wider role the Guild and our members play in the local community, so it was wonderful to be recognised for the hard work that we do in keeping the bells ringing that brings joy to so many people.

At the excellently hosted striking contest in May at Earl Stonham and Debenham, we were joined by George Vestey our Guild Patron, and High Sheriff of Suffolk for 2018/19. George’s family has a long connec on with the Guild since his Grandfather became a Patron in 1958, a connec on which George is keen to con nue. He was most pleased to hear how his father’s legacy, The Vestey Ring, was being put to good use both in and outside of Suffolk.

On the second annual Suffolk Day in June, we rose to the challenge and 26 towers rang out in celebra on of our wonderful county, including 10 quarter peals and a peal. A quar-ter peal at Theberton was featured on ITV Anglia news and both of Suffolk’s Bishops start-ed the day by chiming the bells at Ipswich St Nicholas. Suffolk Day 2019 is already being planned, so please put Friday 21st June in your diaries and hopefully even more towers can ring out on this special day, in which bells play a key role.

On the social media front, our Twi er account @SuffolkBells, con nues to grow with our tweets being seen by around 5,000 users a month. It’s become a great way to interact with the public and other organisa ons who comment about ringing. The lively debate con nues on our Guild Facebook Group with nearly 250 members. Please do sign up and join in the conversa on.

The highlight of the year has to be the na onwide Ringing Remembers campaign. This campaign aimed to recruit and teach 1,400 new ringers in me for Armis ce 2018, symbolically replacing those ringers killed in WW1. The Guild has recruited 30 new ringers to date, but overall, the na onal target of 1,400 was nearly doubled. The ini a ve has provided a las ng legacy of a new genera on of ringers, alongside a greater public awareness of ringing.

November marked the 100th anniversary of the Armis ce that the Ringing Remembers campaign was building towards. Our plan was to have every tower in the Guild ring out on Sunday 11th November. This was a li le daun ng when it was first mooted back in November 2017, but yet again, we rose to the challenge with the bells from nearly every ringable tower in the Guild sounding out at some point that weekend, which amounts to 200 towers in total! This level of near complete Guild coverage was not a empted or achieved anywhere else, so it can be said more towers were rung in Suffolk than any other county. Even looking back through history, this was poten ally the largest ever piece of collec ve ringing in Suffolk. What an achievement!

Lastly, but most importantly I must thank all of you, because we’re lucky enough not just to have one Public Rela ons Officer, but over 700; for we are all ambassadors of ringing. Most people take their first steps based on encouragement and explana on from you, so my challenge to Guild members this year is to speak to your colleagues, neighbours, friends, and family and tell them what a great me can be had when you go ringing!

Librarian’s Report - Abby AntrobusThis year I have had requests for informa on (photographs, old minutes), and ques ons about books with Suffolk connec ons that we may wish to add to the library. John Loveless has also sent items from Howard Egglestone’s papers rela ng to Suffolk, some of which were featured in his ar cles in the Ringing World this year that celebrated 72 years of the Mills family connec on to Bures (pages 760-1 and 788-9, August 10th and August 17th 2018). The papers include a photo of the band who rang the 10,080 at Debenham in March 1968 - taken in the pub. The ar cle highlights that more ringing history could and should be wri en, and to make it a bit easier in Suffolk, the Records Office has provided an extract of their catalogue details for our collec on, so I can amend our own with reference numbers for anyone wishing to look at items there.

At the me of wri ng, I am planning a visit to the Norman Tower to check the library. Please do send any papers/leaflets – for example, from dedica on services - the collec on in the Records Office is live and we can add to it and ensure that it captures something of our ac vi es today.

Webmaster’s Report—Chris GarnerThe Guild Website now contains over two thousand pages. Informa on about towers, bells, ringers and events is constantly updated. Photos and snippets of news may be sent to the Webmaster for pos ng on the web site. Richy’s Blog is now in its twel h year and is posted daily whilst Facebook generates friendly repartee. The Guild also has a Twi er account (@SuffolkBells). Thank you to all those who have made contribu ons.

Various sec ons of the Guild may be contacted by email: all Members, Tower Correspondents and Email Contacts, NE Members, NW Members, SE Members and SW Members. Emails may also be sent to any group of members. Email addresses are known only to the Webmaster and the Membership Secretary. If you would like informa on distributed, please send copy to the Webmaster.

A significant number of emails are returned as undeliverable so, if you change your email address, don’t forget to let the Membership Secretary ([email protected]) know.

193 tower correspondents or tower email contacts and all 35 Guild and District officers have generic email addresses (e.g. pe [email protected]). This makes things easier when personnel change.

Directory of Suffolk Towers and CorrespondentsThe table on the following pages shows details of every ring of four or more bells in the area covered by the Suffolk Guild of Ringers, along with the tower correspondent and their contact details where permission has been given for their inclusion.

All Guild tower correspondent email addresses are {towername}@suffolkbells.org.uk

Condi on of the ring (Cond)10 Excellent. Ball bearings, modern frame and fi ngs.9 Excellent. Plain bearings, modern frame and fi ngs or ball bearings in old frame.8 Good going order7 Fair going order6 Poor going order5 Ringable if cleaned up and odd fi ngs and ropes provided4 Rung occasionally. Frame/fi ngs nearly life expired3 Not to be rung mainly because of tower and/or frame arrangement and posi on2 Not to be rung mainly because of frame and/or fi ngs1 Hung dead0 Some bells unhung on the groundPlease note that the classifica on is based on the condi on only at the last date of inspec on, and any enquiries or requests for further inspec ons should be directed in the first instance to the Suffolk Guild Technical Advisor. The key of a ring (i.e. the note of the tenor) is given in cents (i.e. hundredths of a semitone) from the given note; usually, for simplicity this is a white note. In explana on there are 1200 cents in an octave; a key given as C+80 could be wri en as C#-20m and the notes given are those of the standard equal tempered scale with note ‘A’ vibra ng at 440Hz.

The Suffolk Guild of Ringers will not support or condone any a empts by its members or indeed anyone else to ring on bells which are classified as condi on 3 or below. At these churches the Suffolk Guild Technical Advisor or deputy, and if necessary the architect concerned, must be present when assessment of the bells or tower is taking place.

District ReportWe had a successful year recrui ng new ringers and are working on retaining them. Beccles has been par cularly successful with its recruitment approach. During the year we elected 11 new members to the Guild and hope that some less advanced learners are in the pipeline to become members next year. We mounted an excellent turnout for Ringing For Peace, ringing at all bar one of the ringable towers in the District, following some essen al repairs at a few towers. We were pleased that this ringing included many of our new recruits.Our 2018 ringing programme had mixed success. Sessions dedicated to handling and conduc ng were well a ended. The schedule of monthly district prac ces was not so successful, with a couple of excep ons. We are therefore revisi ng this approach for next year.There were two peals rung by the District, compared to none last year, including a first for Kate Gill.The importance of safeguarding has been reinforced throughout the year, together with encouraging ringers to complete the C0 Diocesan course.Our thanks are given to Mike Cowling, our re ring Chairman, and welcome to Sal Jenkinson, our new Chairman elected at the ADM in November.

District ReportWe started the year with our annual visit to the Norman Tower followed by a carvery lunch at The Bunbury Arms, Great Barton.

Once again, we used the same format for our District Prac ces – a quarter peal followed by open ringing. These have proved successful with local band members being included where possible, and in some cases, a “first” was achieved:November at Thornham Magna (Grandsire Doubles – (half muffled), February at Tostock (Zylverne Bob Minor – first in method for all), March at Elveden (Grandsire Triples – Jimmy Yeoman's first of Grandsire and WW1 commemora ve quarter peal), May at Brandon (Cambridge S Minor) – Josh's first Surprise Minor and September at Horringer (a empted Cambridge S Major).

The District hosted the Guild AGM in April at the Norman Tower, with ringing both before and a er a well-a ended evensong in the Cathedral and the tea in Pilgrim's Kitchen.

At the Guild six bell striking compe on in May, Pakenham came 4th in the Mitson Shield and Great Barton came 6th; however in the Lester Bre Trophy (call changes) Great Barton came 1st and Thurston 2nd. The Guild eight bell striking compe on saw the NW finish in 3rd place.

Quarter Peal week was held from 26th May - 3rd June. We again held a quarter peal a ernoon/evening followed by a meal on Friday 3rd June. In the course of the week 13 quarter peals were rung comprising 1 Surprise Royal, 1 Surprise Major, 7 Minor and 4 Doubles. 37 people took part with 8 different conductors, and with Jimmy Yeoman conduc ng his first quarter peal.

The District ou ng in July was to 6 towers in South Norfolk. Last minute pub closures and seized clapper bushes did not, thankfully, spoil the day out for the 12 people who supported us this year.

The ADM in October was held at Stowmarket and the Christmas social at Bacton.

District ReportIn 2018, we welcomed fi een recruits, including a number through Ringing Remembers. There were five first peals, and completed projects at Cre ngham and Ipswich St Margaret.

We started the year with ringing at Pe stree and Felixstowe in January and February. In April at Holbrook, there was a raising-and-lowering session, and an ART Module 1 Course held in May at Ipswich St Ma hew.

Ten teams were judged by Philip Gorrod and Ma hew Rolph at our striking compe on at Rushmere in May, with sunshine and tea provided by the band there. St Mary le Tower won the Cecil Pipe Memorial Bell, and Hollesley the David Barnard Memorial Trophy. The Guild Striking compe ons were held at Earl Stonham and Debenham, with a win for the district of the 8-bell Rose Trophy; the Debenham band provided lunches.

On a sunny a ernoon in June we rang at Dennington and Framlingham, and Orford in July

was well a ended despite clashing with an England World Cup quarter-final. The ‘quarter peal and meal’ event in August saw scores at Holbrook, Harkstead and Stu on, and patronage of the King’s Head. In September we met in Ipswich St Clement and St Lawrence, with another ART event on the simulator at St Margaret’s. October’s ou ng to Norfolk started at Aylsham and ended at Li le Walsingham.

We met in November at Cre ngham. Armis ce 100 saw ringing at every ringable tower in the District – an impressive achievement.

The ADM in December was held at Campsea Ashe and Wickham Market, with tea provided by the Wickham Market band. Christmas ringing in Ipswich took a different format, with a tour and quarter peals at St Lawrence; refreshment was provided by St Margaret’s.

The ‘Beast from the East’ necessitated cancella on of March’s mee ng at Coddenham and Barking but we rearranged for January 2019, and the presenta on of fi een bakes for ‘Cake-Off’ bodes well for our hos ng of April’s AGM. Thanks are again given to outgoing commi ee members.

District ReportPaul reported that we have held 9 prac ces with average a endance holding at a respectable 17, a District Striking Compe on and David Lee’s Ou ng. The Quarter Peal Month in August saw 8 quarters rung with many achievements: 1st quarters for Heather Sinclair, Jill de Laat and Ben Turpin; 1st inside, first of minor and first on 8 for Tim Forsey and 1st as conductor for Joshua Watkins. This was an excellent achievement for all concerned and our thanks go to all those who supported these up-and-coming ringers.

The District Striking Compe on was a li le disappoin ng in the number of entries; however, Haverhill came first of 4 teams in call changes and Woolpit/Drinkstone were the only method entry. In the Guild Compe ons Woolpit came second of nine in the Mitson Shield – well done! Our thanks go to David Lee for an excellent ou ng topped off with a most enjoyable meal. In the hope of encouraging more of our less adventurous members to come along, a special method has been nominated for each prac ce in the coming year. We will, of course, s ll endeavour to meet individual requests.

A refurbished and augmented, deligh ul ring of 6 were dedicated at Li le Cornard on 1st December followed by cakes galore and some very happy ringing. Thank you to so many local people and ringers whose efforts and enthusiasm made all this possible.

Peal Secretary’s Report—Chris ne KnightThe Guild peal total of 108 was the highest since 2014, due largely to the highly successful reintroduc on of Guild Peal Week in February, during which fi een peals were rung. The year also saw the first peal on the restored ring at St Margaret’s, Ipswich, widely acclaimed as a magnificent transforma on achieved by the team led by John and Shirley Girt. A peal of Double Norwich CB Major on 4th August was the first peal on the restored bells. During the year, peals were rung at 48 Suffolk towers and two other venues, Ardleigh in Essex and Lichfield Cathedral.

Mirroring the na onal picture, World War 1 centenary peals con nued throughout the year. In all, thirteen peals were rung to commemorate those who gave their lives. As the centenary of the Armis ce approached, awareness of the enormity of the sacrifice in individual parishes became more apparent. Ten peals were rung between September and November alone. At Li le Thurlow, Hacheston, Elmse , Ipswich, St Margaret, O on and Bardwell peals were rung to honour the memory of local men who made the ul mate sacrifice. There were also peals to mark the centenary of the deaths of local ringers. A peal at Pe stree on 25th March remembered Private David Legge , and Bombardier William Love was commemorated by a peal at Aldeburgh on 17th June. No less than three ringers were lost at Monks Eleigh; a peal on this challenging six was rung on 27th October in memory of Private Edward Hollox, Corporal Robert Keeble and Private Charles Varo. The Great War also claimed the lives of three Lavenham ringers, Private George Lambert, Private Charles Poulson and Lance Corporal Thomas Pryke. As Lavenham was formerly in the Ely Diocese, a joint Suffolk Guild/Ely DA band was assembled to ring a peal in their honour on 24th November. On the Armis ce Centenary weekend, the bells of the Cathedral’s Norman Tower were rung half-muffled on 10th November to a peal of Grandsire Cinques. On 11th November, Armis ce Centenary Day itself, a peal of 7 Surprise Minor was rung at Buxhall. At Horringer, a specially composed 5100 of Armis ce S Major , conducted by Stephen Pe man, was rung on 30th November, it also being the 100th peal in the tower.

Peals were also rung na onwide to mark the 300th anniversary of the first peal of Grandsire Triples, which was rung at St Peter Mancro in Norwich on 26th August 1718. Two peals were rung by the Guild as part of this commemora on. Louis Sugge called his own composi on of Grandsire Triples at Bardwell on 25th August. On 29th August at Grundisburgh, Stephen Pe man called what is thought to be the original composi on by John Garthon, which includes a special call known as a ‘hic’.

Some other individual peals deserve special men on. On 7th February, in a peal at The Wolery, Mary Dunbavin became the seventh person to ring a thousand peals for the Guild. Brian Whi ng also achieved a very significant milestone by ringing his thousandth peal, Plain Bob Major at Horringer on 15th February. He chose to share this occasion with local ringer Joshua Watkins, who rang his first peal on that day. An incredible example of teamwork was evident at Tostock on 10th June, when a peal of 41 Spliced Surprise Minor was rung by a NW District band, conducted by Nigel Gale. The footnotes make very impressive reading, being the first peal of Spliced for three members of the band, most methods for two, and also first peal of Spliced as conductor: a magnificent achievement. Also worthy of men on is the peal of Double Norwich CB Major rung on the back eight at Ipswich, St Mary- le-Tower on 16th September. This was a challenging method on a 34cwt eight, especially for the tenor ringer, Ian Culham.

Many of the pa erns in Guild peal ringing remained unchanged in 2018. A empts by the Aldeburgh Second Sunday Band have con nued and their final peal of the year, Triduum Surprise Major on 9th December was also the 350thpeal on the bells and the 250th of Surprise Major there. Regular a empts at the Wolery Mini-Ring also con nued, with the 400th peal

50

on the bells being reached on 4th July. In the monthly a empts on the light eight at St Mary-le-Tower, the focus has shi ed recently to ‘Project Pickled Walnut’, a project to ring Surprise Major methods named a er Suffolk towns and villages. So far two peals have been rung, Framlingham S Major and Clare S Major. Interest in Spliced Surprise Minor con nues, and 41 Spliced was rung three mes during the year, twice on towerbells and once on handbells.

It is always pleasing to see the ‘firsts’ achieved by less experienced ringers in peal footnotes. In Peal Week, in addi on to the nine first pealers, there was a first of Grandsire Caters, a first of Surprise Royal and a first on handbells. Later in the year, there was also a first on 12 and another first pealer in a peal at St Ma hew’s, Ipswich on 24th June. It was also good to see two 12 bell peals as 2017 was the first year since 1976 with no 12 bell peals at all. Two peals of Grandsire Cinques were rung, both at the Norman Tower, but one by a predominantly non–resident band. Peals on higher numbers are a vital opportunity for progression. It is disappoin ng that no peals of Maximus have been rung for the Guild since 2016.

There are many posi ves to take from the Guild’s peal ringing ac vity. In regularity and annual totals, peal ringing is more deeply embedded in the culture of the Guild than in some of our neighbouring associa ons. However, the majority of our peals con nue to be organised for experienced peal ringers. Some very talented young ringers have le the county in recent years and learning opportuni es are needed throughout the year to enable budding peal ringers of all ages to develop their skills. From just one first pealer in 2017 to a total of ten in 2018 is a magnificent achievement. However, only two of the nine first pealers from Peal Week rang further peals later in the year. In fact, outside Peal Week there were just two peals which were obviously organised as learning opportuni es for less experienced ringers. Peals like the Minor (3m) rung at Wisse on 20th May, which contained a ‘1st inside’ and ‘most methods’ and the Minor (7m) at Exning on 16th August, which was also a ‘1st inside’ are invaluable stepping stones. The Master made a tremendous effort to open up peal ringing to a wider cross-sec on of our membership in Peal Week. Hopefully, more peal organisers will emulate this by providing opportuni es for progression during the year. As always, I should like to thank Michelle Rolph, Brian Whi ng and David Salter for their work on the peals sec on of this Report. Special thanks go to David Salter for providing informa on and support whilst recovering from serious illness.

Learning methods - first steps

1) Iden fy your learning style – do you prefer to learn by seeing, hearing or doing?

2) Learn the method in small bits to start with, then join the bits up

3) Relate any new method to what you already know

4) Familiarise yourself with new types of work

5) Learn where you pass the treble and where you work with it

6) A poor handling style can affect progress so get someone to video you then listen to their advice!

7) Try to maintain a constant rhythm (which should be the same as the rest of the band)

8) Stand behind someone and follow them ringing the method you are learning

9) Go out to other towers where they ring what you are learning (& a end Guild and District events)

10) Do not be afraid to ask for help – ask several people as they may ex-plain things differently

11) Do your homework (before the prac ce night)

Learning methods - next steps

1) Learn the basics first and then build up to more complicated methods

2) Look for signposts (roll ups, familiar changes, passing & working with your before & a er course bells)

3) Learn the place bell order and all of the starts

4) Learn the structure of the method by using the grid (shows blue line for each bell for one lead)

5) Learn the bobs and singles

6) Prac se ringing the method on Abel

7) Do your homework (before the prac ce night)

8) Listen cri cally to your striking (whatever you are ringing)

9) A end Training Days & Ringing Courses

10) A empt a quarter peal

Safeguarding Statement The Suffolk Guild of Ringers takes the safeguarding and protec on of children (under 18s) and vulnerable adults very seriously. It recognises that the welfare of children and vulnerable adults is paramount and that we have a duty of care when they are in our charge. We will do everything that we can to provide a safe and caring environment whilst they a end our ac vi es. All children and vulnerable adults will be treated with respect and dignity.

Safeguarding PolicyThe Guild, as advised by the CCCBR, follows the na onal “Promo ng a Safer Church” policy as adopted by the Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich:

· Local tower arrangements should always be approved by the PCC in line with the Parish Safeguarding Policy1. The Tower Captain should have a copy of the Parish Safeguarding Policy and ensure that ringers have access to it.

· All ringers should complete the online safeguarding training course ‘C0’ as advised by the PSO2 or Incumbent for the tower where they are listed. It is accessible via this web address h ps://safeguardingtraining.cofeportal.org/ The cer ficate awarded should be retained and the date of comple on no fied to the PSO.

· Tower Captains and ringing teachers must complete ‘C0’ first, then a end a “face to face” half day course, ‘C2 Safeguarding Leadership’, in the Diocese every three years.2

· All Tower Captains and ringing teachers MUST hold a current clear DBS check status IF their role includes the training of children or vulnerable adults.

· Any person requiring a DBS check must first complete a Confiden al Declara on Form, available here h p://www.cofesuffolk.org/uploads/Lay_Confiden al_Declara on_Form1.pdf The completed form should be handed to the Incumbent or PSO for secure and confiden al storage.

A ringer does NOT require a DBS check if ac ng in a suppor ng role, undertaking unplanned one-off teaching or depu sing in an emergency, providing two adults (preferably one of each gender) are present, nor for transpor ng children or vulnerable adults as part of arrangements between families.

Where there is cause for concern this should be reported to the Parish Safeguarding Officer or Incumbent immediately.3__________________________________________________________________________________________________

1 The Parish Safeguarding Statement / Policy should be displayed in the church together with the name and contact details of the Parish Safeguarding Officer.

2 The PSO, Parish Safeguarding Officer, will keep a register of C2 courses a ended but ringers are advised to keep their own record too to ensure that their qualifica ons do not lapse.

3 The Parish Safeguarding Officer or Incumbent will refer immediately to Suffolk County Council Customer First – 0808 800 4005.

If there is risk of immediate harm call the police – 999

She was one of only two volunteers who could already ring when we started at St. Ma hew’s with over 20 volunteers and her support was invaluable.

The policy holds true and that training should be completed.Brian Whi ng asked how the system was monitored. Mary Garner said that Parish Safeguarding Officer of each parish should keep a list of relevant documents and details.vi. CCCR: David Stanford asked what views the CCCR reps would be taking to the next mee ng. The chairman stated that the reps were not directed by the GMC but where important votes were concerned the GMC might state their posi on as had been the case with the CRAG report. Veronica Downing said that the changes at CCCR are going ahead as of votes made last year.
