Dear All,

VERY SORRY! I am going to have to cancel the District Practice at Houghton which I told you all about yesterday, having received a further update on the bells. To cut to the chase, they MAY be in place in the tower, but we have no guarantee that they will be actually fettled and signed off by the twenty-third.

SO, we are hoping to arrange a similar event once we know the bells are good and ready to go, probably once they’ve been consecrated.  I don’t have a date for this at my fingertips but I think it will be in May or June.

MEANWHILE if I can arrange a district practice elsewhere for April, I’ll let you all know.

Best wishes and apologies once again

District Secretary
