Hello …’though I’m not a District Officer, I’m uncertain about some of this info…where’s it come from please? E.g. 8-bell Striking Contest …Maundy Thursday?? Unlikely. Freshwater for Guild AGM – again unlikely (as tower unsafe/no ringing currently) – it MIGHT have changed but not heard that is has. Please let me know if I can assist in any way.
Dates and venues as provided by the District Secretary. I admit I didn’t check them but looking at them some seem unlikely.
Thanks Andrew – I’m seeing Mary Tester soon…will chat with her or email her before if poss.. 🙂
To avoid any confusion … the date for the I.W. 8 bell at Brighstone is Sat 13th April; and since we are talking “8 bell at Brighstone”, please can we update the graphic at the top of the Isle of Wight pages to show Brighstone as having 8 bells? The Guild AGM is indeed at Freshwater and Inter-District at Brighstone … it is the I.W. Festival that w/e and the Guild stuck with that date, but it gives mainlanders the option of avoiding Newport by travelling through Lymington (assuming it isn’t breezy and those ferries get cancelled).
Map updated. Thanks for pointing out it was wrong!
