5 Foreword from the Chairman—Alan Stanley

Once again this year, I have had the opportunity to read through the reports from officers of the Guild so as to write a Foreword. As I do so I am conscious that there is an amount of similarity, repetition almost, of last year's Foreword. I make no apology for this. There is just as much to celebrate and enthuse about in this report as there was last year, but the detail is different in a number of ways. We have the first annual report from our new Ringing Master Tom Scase, who again thanks his predecessor Jed Flatters for support, and then goes on to encourage attendance at District AGMs. I am hoping again for a good turnout at the AGM on 22nd April at Beccles so if you are reading this in advance of that date please clear your diary and come along. Tom mentions two first pealers and a number of personal milestones achieved by others as well. Congratulations are due to all of them and I am sure many, many others who have made progress toward their next personal milestone, whatever that may be. It is no surprise that the Belfry Advisory Committee have had a busy year (it seems they always do) with involvement in projects large and small, and with plenty of work in the pipeline. Let there be no doubt that alongside the various Parish initiatives and local hard work there exists this very valuable supportive resource that not only offers advice and guidance, but rolls up its sleeves and gets stuck in. And there are more bells ringable, and going better in more Suffolk towers as a result. Winston Girling is chair and he thanks all BAC members. You need last year's report to hand to make a comparison to appreciate another contribution made by Winston Girling and that is in the increased number of parishes participating in the Affiliation Scheme which Winston has taken charge of in the last twelve months or so. The Affiliation Scheme is a useful source of funding for the Guild. Again we see a slight decline in membership, and I would appeal to each of you to try and recruit additional members when you are out ringing or socialising. The Guild finances remain in good shape, although general running costs continue to increase slightly while subscription income falls slightly. That is the shortest of summaries that in no way reflects the very significant amount of work that goes into managing the finances and also into the preparation of the accounts by our Treasurer, Owen Claxton. Well done and thanks to all other contributors not just for the reports but also for the huge amount of work done on behalf of all of us and the Guild. And thanks to Michelle Williams for another Annual Report. I should also like to record our thanks to our advertisers whose continuing support makes funding our report that little bit easier. There is a huge amount more in these pages that reflects commitment, energy and just the pure enjoyment of ringing. Recognition and thanks are due to so many of you. Enjoy the report; enjoy your ringing.

6 Obituaries Bridget Sayers - Bridget joined the Earl Stonham band about 15 years ago when she, and her husband Brian, moved to the area. Her father had been a previous Rector of Earl Stonham and her widowed mother was still living in the area. Bridget learnt to ring in Hythe about 40 years ago and had rung quarters and a peal. She and Brian quickly became valuable members of the church and of the ringing band, including being active in the restoration and augmentation in 2004. Her friendship and ringing ability was a great bonus to the band. She will be greatly missed by the Earl Stonham ringers and those who knew her.

Dr Peter S. Franks Dr Peter S. Franks MBBS (Lon) DRCOG lived at Bacton, and latterly at Ardleigh, Essex. Although he did not start to ring until the 1970's he always played the organ at Bacton. In 1973 the 5 bells at Bacton were restored and hung in a new steel frame and are now a superb 6. Peter and his wife Sheila were the prime movers in getting these bells restored and it is doubtful whether they would have been done without their tenacity and grit. Peter finally took up ringing when his son, Tim, was being taught, and he rang with Sheila in the first peal on the restored bells in 1973. Peter and Sheila were synonymous with Bacton. As he said once, "I have brought half this village into the world and seen the other half out". He will always be remembered with great affection by all the villages he covered, and everyone will remember the great hospitality they insisted on at home, especially after ringing.

Ken Brown - Ken was taught to ring in 1950 by Harry King. Ken was a member at Ixworth but also rang at other local towers namely Pakenham, Great Barton, Rougham and Bury St Edmunds both at the Norman Tower and St Mary's. He gave up ringing because of his work as a milkman and a part time fireman. On retirement he came back to ringing and rang 129 peals and many quarter peals, also looking after his wife Wendy full time. Ken passed away in April 2016.

7 Valerie Jay - Stoke-by-Clare The entire village of Stoke-by-Clare as well as many people from the surrounding area were totally shocked and saddened by the death on 9th June 2016, after only a very short illness, of Val, as she was respectfully known, at the age of 62 years. She was born in Stoke-by-Clare and was encouraged to take up ringing at the age of fourteen by her father, the late Bob Gowan, who was a member of the Stoke team, and was taught to ring by the then Tower Captain, Aubrey Peacock, and often assisted by another well known ringer, Walter Perry. Val became a very competent and much respected ringer not only at Stoke-by-Clare but at many other towers in the area where she was also a regular ringer.

She leaves behind her husband Leslie and her daughter Carolyn and son Christopher. A truly respected person who will be sorely missed not only amongst her bell ringing friends, but also by all who knew her so well in the many other organisations in which she was involved. The church at Stoke-by-Clare was full to capacity for her funeral with the bells being rung half-muffled both before and after the service. May her soul rest in peace.

Chris Plummer—Worlingham It was with great sadness that the ringers in the North East District heard of Chris' death, shortly before Christmas. He had withstood serious illness with great fortitude for some years, but had retained his energy and enthusiasm right until the end. Chris learned to ring at Worlingham in the late 60s. Shortly afterwards, when Worlingham had to cease ringing, he transferred his allegiance to Beccles. From then on, he regarded himself as a Beccles ringer, thoroughly enjoying ringing in Plain Bob Royal on Sundays unless it was the sailing season! He rang in a handful of peals, always viewing a peal of Yorkshire Major rung by a Beccles Sunday service band in 1988 as his high point. Chris and his wife Sarah were a well-known ringing couple who first met in Beccles tower in 1982. They were married in Worlingham Church, Chris having earnestly requested that the organist (a fellow ringer) play Widor's Toccata 'as impressively as possible' even allowing for the limitations of the organ. Although Chris did not ring so much as his illness progressed, he remained a strong supporter and was invaluable at practices standing behind people new to various methods. He was very popular with the local ringers for his kindness, sense of humour and ability to sing Plain Bob Doubles to help the striking! The Beccles band was privileged to ring for Chris' Service of Thanksgiving in December, which was very well attended. Chris had a wide variety of interests, including sailing, and we were regaled with many anecdotes about his very active life. A quarter peal of Plain Bob Royal was rung at Beccles on 8 February 2017 in memory of Chris.

8 Trustees' Annual Report The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. Charity The Suffolk Guild of Ringers was registered with the Charity Commission on 10 December 1975, registration number 266869. The Charity's registered address is 2 Fredellen, Upper Street, Witnesham, Ipswich, IP6 9EW. It is governed under a constitution originally registered in 1977 and most recently revised in 2014. Principal objectives The purpose of the Charity is to promote and encourage the practice of bellringing within the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich; to recruit, train and encourage bellringers in the practice of their art; to cultivate the art of scientific change ringing; and to promote and advise on the preservation of bells in an efficient condition. Trustees The Trustees during the period were: Chairman A F Stanley, Secretary Revd C N Melville, Treasurer 0 P Claxton Review of Progress and Achievements Bellringing—107 peals were rung in 2016, an increase of 12 on 2015. Peals were rung in 43 towers. The number of quarter peals rung declined slightly from 552 in 2015 to 499 in 2016. Quarters were rung in 98 towers. Both peals and quarter peals covered a wide range of methods from Doubles to Maximus, involved a diverse range of towers and ringers, and benefited all who took part. These were the successful attempts, the number of peal and quarter peal attempts which were unsuccessful is not known, but nonetheless they too are an important learning experience. Established training programmes are used to develop the skills of new ringers, and those new to teaching people to ring. Participants agree it is a valuable aid to the teaching and instruction of beginners, and a skills investment for the future. Restoration activities—Members of the Belfry Advisory Committee have been very active throughout the year, carrying out inspections and making repairs to installations. Work has been completed at Stoke Ash - renovating decayed frame mountings; Otley - rectifying loose clappers; Cretingham - advisory work on installation of new tenor and fittings; Eye - work on clappers; Thornham Magna - minor adjustments; Melton Old Church, and Levington, - repairs to chiming bells; Badwell Ash - inspection of installation. In addition support and advice has been given for routine maintenance. Guild Finances Reserves 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.

Policies—All money in the Guild's funds not required for day-to-day working purposes is invested or deposited by the Treasurer, as directed by the Guild Management Committee. Grants from the Restoration Fund are authorised by the Guild Management Committee but are only paid after 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 fittings for full-circle ringing, but may include augmentation and other ancillary work associated with any such project. In order to respond to the short term need to provide financial support to training activities, the General Management Committee (GMC) have introduced a process to enable grants of up to £50 to be made immediately, at the discretion of the Ringing Master, and grants of up to £500 to be made within seven days at the discretion of the Guild Executive. In both cases subject to appropriate records being kept and presented to the GMC. 9

9 General Fund - Compared with the 2015 account, income to the General Fund decreased by just 6%, although, as is always the case, some categories have increased, others decreased. Subscriptions were down 4%, but peal fee income had increased by 28%, albeit from an unusual low in 2015. Expenditure was 29% more than in 2015. Exceptional items were the purchase of lapel badges at £758 and administration costs of £687: together they account for virtually all of the expenditure increase. The remaining categories, affiliation fees, insurance, donations etc showed little variation from previous years. After transfers to other accounts, the General Fund stood at £4,817. Restoration Fund The Restoration Fund income has increased by 11% to £59,783. There are two grants outstanding, each for £12,000. That for the restoration of Horringer bells is expected to be claimed in early 2017. The other, for proposed restoration work at St Margaret's, Ipswich, which has not yet started, will be claimed at a later date. No other funding requests for restoration work have been received. Summary In 2016, there was a decrease in the General Fund balance mainly because of increased expenditure. All restricted funds have a positive balance. There are no new funding requests for restoration work.

District Technical Advisors The following members have been appointed to have responsibility as District Technical Advisors. For contact details, see above. North East Jonathan Stevens North West Winston Girling South East Chris McArthur South West _ Neville Whittell Belfry Advisory Committee Report—Winston Girling 2016 proved to be another busy year for the Committee. At our February, June and October meetings a great deal of ongoing work was discussed. This included some ongoing or proposed major restorations. At Horringer the bells should have been up and ringing by Christmas 2016. I understand that this will now be delayed owing to some instability in an interior wall. We look forward to this new 8 and wish them every success. Redgrave should have the bells removed in July. Here the 1700's timber frame is to be repaired and returned to service for the existing 6 bells only. This is a shadow of what was originally envisaged but was required by the CCT who own the building. The viability of repairing and continued use of yet another timber bell frame will be evident as time progresses. Cretingham and St. Margaret's, Ipswich are fast approaching restorations and there is news that Whatfield are also in the pipeline. In addition, John Taylor is working hard to get Little Cornard restored. It is also proposed to carry out restoration at Stowmarket. This could well involve retaining 3 listed bells for chiming and the clock and providing a new lighter peal of 10 in a steel frame.

11

11 At Laxfield there is much vertical and horizontal movement of the timber frame and restoration is likely in the future. Brome have been inspected and some maintenance advised. Here the tower roof is leaking badly. At Wickham Market timber shafted clappers are to be fitted to 5 and 6 to stop these bells going up wrong. This may well have been completed as I write. Iken have had problems with the clapper bushes seizing in hot weather and these have now been reamed to prevent this happening in the future. I recently reported on the bells at Badwell Ash and here it is proposed long term to install a kitchen and toilet on the ground floor of the tower, moving the ringing chamber to a gallery above, and to restore the bells and possibly augment to 6 in a steel frame lower in the tower. Many small jobs have also been carried out by the team. I am grateful to our members for all their hard work and assistance over the year. I apologise if I have missed anything out. Parish Affiliation Scheme We acknowledge, with gratitude, the support for the work of our Guild, shown by the following parishes who have joined our Affiliation Scheme. In 2016 over £1400 has been added to our Bell Restoration Fund.

12 Ringing Master's Report -Tom Scase It's an honour to become only the 12th different Ringing Master of the Suffolk Guild of Ringers. I would like to thank my predecessor, Jed Flatters, for his contribution over the last five years and support since the Annual General Meeting. Indeed, I'm grateful for all the words of encouragement I have received since April and am reassured in the knowledge that there's valuable advice available from seven former Guild Ringing Masters living in the county! Having been elected as Guild Ringing Master, I continued in my role as South East District Ringing Master until the Annual District Meeting (ADM) in December and this overlap of roles meant I didn't hit the ground running as fast as I would have liked. Nevertheless, I still managed to attend three of the four ADMs: the North East at Stradbroke, the South East at Debenham and the South West at Sudbury. At these ADMs, I was pleased to note the willingness of those present to ensure the majority of District roles were filled. What's concerning, though, and this is no new concern, or indeed one unique to Suffolk, is the proportion of members attending. There is, alas, no 'click of the button' solution to encourage greater engagement of members. If there were, it would have been pushed long ago. What we, as a Guild, must do, is to continue to foster a Guild that promotes opportunities in ringing. This has many aspects and it's my mission to oversee and develop this intent into fruition. The Guild's objectives -read them - offer a clear and concise reminder of what this means. I was unable to attend the Guild Striking competitions, held at Reydon and Southwold, owing to a prior commitment in Prague. I am grateful to Jed Flatters for ensuring the day went well. Our thanks go to James Smith for judging and to all taking part. Congratulations go to the winners: St Mary le Tower, Ipswich, in both the Mitson Shield (six bell method) and Rose Trophy (eight bell method); and to Hollesley in the Lester Brett Trophy (six bell Call Changes). Ten members represented the Guild in the Ridgman Trophy, held on the glorious ten at Daventry. The test piece was 212 Erin Caters and although we rang without obvious mistakes, our ringing didn't settle as well as others; nevertheless, we were disappointed to be placed sixth out of seven. We will be looking to improve in Cambridge in 2017. One of the mainstays and highlights of the ringing year is the annual Veterans' afternoon at Debenham, on the second Wednesday in July. 2016 was the 25th event, all of which have been organised by Muriel Page and her team. Muriel is now, deservedly, taking a back seat- thankfully future arrangements are in capable hands. I'm sure everyone who has attended over the years reiterates our thanks to Muriel. I was pleased to join several members on the Guild Social, in September, hosted by the North West, with an enjoyable ring and walk between Thornham Magna and Wickham Skeith. Slightly fewer quarter peals were rung in Suffolk in 2016 than in 2015. Neal Dodge's analysis makes interesting ringing - thanks Neal for compiling this. Congratulations to David and Lesley Steed who, once again, are the leading quarter peal ringers in Suffolk. Likewise, Pettistree remains the leading tower. Quarter Peals are a good means for consolidating methods and improving striking. Peals, however, provide a prolonged period in which to advance the aforementioned. It's pleasing, therefore, that the 2016 peal total shows a slight increase compared to 2015. It's still the second fewest peals rung for the Guild in the last ten years, though. I would very much like to see more members participating in peals. I am minded to re-introduce a Guild peal week, which has proved very successful in previous years, with a particular emphasis on encouraging greater involvement. Many congratulations to Adrian M Craddock and Sal Jenkinson on ringing their first peals. It's unfortunate there were not more first pealers.

13

13 Thanks to Pealbase, I note and congratulate the following personal achievements: 3,400th peal - David G Salter 1,800th peal - Alan P Mayle 1,600th peal - Stephen D Pettman 1000th peal - as Conductor- Jeremy W Spiller 900th peal - Brian E Whiting 600th peal - Michael G Whitby 400th peal - Joan Garrett, Colin F Salter and George M Salter 300th peal - Katherine J Eagle 200th peal - Nigel F C Gale and Alex W Tatlow 1 0 ( ^ th peal - Ruth Suggett 50 peal Neal T Dodge and Timothy P Hart Apologies for any personal milestones that I may have inadvertently missed. Recruitment and Training (R&T) is an important focus for the Guild and I'm grateful to Rowan Wilson for agreeing to chair and guide our R&T committee. The Association of Ringing Teachers (ART) training courses have been well publicised within the Suffolk Guild and to back this up, the Guild now offers training grants, the first of which have been granted in conjunction with members attending ART courses. Recruitment and subsequent retention of new ringers is one of the principal issues facing ringing across the board and here in Suffolk we need to be focusing our attention on continuing to address this fundamental matter. I encourage all Guild members to get more involved with ringing across Suffolk, whether it's more practices, more quarters or peals, or most importantly, continuing to ensure Services are rung for.

14 Secretary's Report - Rev Carl Melville The office of Guild Secretary is a rather odd job, often the "middle man" of many conversations and situations. I receive news from the Central Council which I pass on to the relevant people. They are currently renewing their vision and strategy and it's worth checking their website for more details. Guild communication is, I think, very good, thanks to various people including Chris Garner, who looks after the website and regular news by email, and Sue Freeman, who edits the Guild Magazine which is published three times a year. I often find that replies to emails I send to the various Districts come back very slowly. I'm getting used to this, but please remember that we each play a part in aiding good communication, which in turn speeds up the smooth running of the Guild between meetings and ringing. I say all this knowing that I failed to get last year's AGM agenda out in time - I hope things will run differently this coming year! The Parish Affiliation Scheme has been revamped and renewed thanks to Winston Girling. This has taken a huge amount of time but brought in a large amount of income, some of which is new income. Here's to another year of ringing!

Membership Secretary's Report - Mary Garner Membership Data Forms continued to trickle in throughout most of the year. All the additions and amendments have been collated and it is hoped that this will enable tower listings to be even more accurate than in previous years. If your listing is incorrect please let me know. It will also mean that the Treasurer can make better predictions of subscription income. The total membership by the end of 2016 was 727, compared with 749 in 2015. Twenty six people did not renew which was balanced exactly by the number of new members elected. Fewer than ten "rejoined", some stopped ringing, others moved away and a few passed away. If a ringer in your tower is ready to join the Guild please ensure that an Application Form is completed and passed to your District Secretary for their election. If you move house, change your email address, change home tower, wish to be added to or removed from the Gift Aid register etc., please don't forget to let me know. Membership Summary

15 Public Relations Officer's Report - Neal Dodge Since our last AGM I've been fortunate enough to fill the role of PRO, as Richard Munnings had decided to step down. So I'd like to thank Richy for all the effort that he devoted to the role as he enjoys a break from holding Guild Office. My first task of 2016 came following the debate about whether ringing is a sport, as Radio Suffolk were intrigued by the rarely seen side of competitive ringing and wished to cover our Guild Striking contest. I gave two interviews on the day, to announce the winners in the middle of the football results! So at least Radio Suffolk sees ringing as a sport! The Lowestoft Journal also devoted a whole page to the event with some excellent photos. Just as in previous years we were asked to ring to celebrate events including: the Queen's 90th Birthday, BBC Music Day, Heritage Open Days and many local occasions. Radio Suffolk covered these events so thanks to Philip Gorrod, Ralph Earey, Joe Lavington, and Matt Thomas for being interviewed live on air. Our local papers included many ringing related stories including the Lt Cornard Project, the Norman Tower, and the new bells at Horringer. Another big event in 2016 was the Folk East festival where a band of willing volunteers ran a successful ringing workshop with the Vestey Ring. Their team taught over 100 people to ring rounds on the mini ring, and Catherine Draper produced a revised and updated leaflet on learning to ring, more copies of which will be printed for future use. We were also invited to attend Kingsfleet Primary School's community day in Felixstowe where John Girt and Roger Coley ran a very worthwhile session and now 6 children and their parents have taken up ringing thanks to local ringer Jacky Savage. The Guild twitter account, @suffolkbells, has grown considerably during the year. With 231 followers it has become one of the largest ringing accounts with some tweets being seen by over 4,000 users. It has become a great way to interact with the public. One tweet was even picked up by the Guardian and was featured in their article on the events at York Minster. As we look into 2017 there will be some events in which bells will play their part so if you're doing some special ringing or having an open day please let me know as I'd be happy to help publicise or provide promotional material for your occasion. Equally if you're having complaints or trouble dealing with an organisation please do get in touch. It's what I'm here for! Finally I must thank all 700+ of you, because you're all ambassadors for ringing. People don’t become ringers based on an article or a website they've read, but down to encouragement and explanation from you. So my challenge to all SGR members this year is to speak to your colleagues, neighbours, friends, and family and tell them what a great time can be had when you go ringing!

Webmaster's Report—Chris Garner The Guild Website now contains over two thousand pages. Information about towers, bells, ringers and events is constantly updated. Photos and snippets of news can be sent to the Webmaster for posting on the web site. Richy's Blog is now in its tenth year and is posted daily, generating friendly repartee on Facebook. The Guild also has a Twitter account (@suffolkbells). Thank you to all those who have made contributions. Various sections of the Guild may be contacted by email: all Members (527), Tower Correspondents & Email Contacts (132), Tower Captains (109), NE Members (101), NW Members (136), SE Members (194) & SW Members (91). The addresses are known only to the Webmaster and the Membership Secretary. If you would like information distributed please email it 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. 163 tower correspondents or tower email contacts now have generic email addresses (e.g. [email protected]). This makes things easier when the correspondent changes. [email protected]

16 Librarian's Report - Abby Antrobus This year I have moved house and now live in Ipswich. Whilst the bulk of the library remains in the Norman Tower (in the Ringing Chamber and on the mezzanine floor), I have moved a few of the more fragile volumes with me - please do get in touch to borrow books. Winston Girling has worked on digitising Ranald Clouston's tower reports, and they are due to appear on the Guild website over the course of the year. They will be password protected to ensure personal contact details that may appear on them are not directly available on the web, but viewable on request. This year we have added DVDs to the library - 'Bell News + Ringing World 1941-1970', 'Ringing World 1971 - 2000', and 'Two Ringing Periodicals'.

Magazine Editor's Report—Sue Freeman We have continued to produce three issues of the magazine in the year. Each District in turn is invited to contribute the front and back pages, featuring a church within the District. It is hoped that this will encourage all Districts to send in material for every issue, but sadly this has not always happened. The magazine will only continue to exist if Guild members contribute to it. In the last year we have been really delighted to receive stories and photographs quite unexpectedly - so much better than having to chase people for articles, although quite a lot of that goes on too! Thank you to everyone who has sent in material in the last year, especially those faithful regulars without whom the life of the editor would be so much more difficult. Especial thanks to Richard Gates for his continued support and for Fairfax's cartoon characters Sally and Bob. Distribution is sometimes difficult; many thanks to all those who help in this. Please note that District Secretaries are given a small number of spare copies of each issue so if you feel your tower has insufficient copies, please refer to your Secretary. Guild Handbells & Mini Ring Trustee's Report—Brian Whiting

Guild Handbells The Guild has four sets of handbells: 25 bells by Taylors size 20 in C (2 chromatic octaves) 16 bells generally by Shaw size 19 in F (diatonic 13 + 3 semitones) 13 bells by Warner size 20 in E (diatonic 12 + 1 semitone) 13 bells by various founders size 20 in F (diatonic 13) They have been used intermittently during the year and currently all sets are back with the trustee, with the exception of one of the sets of 13, which is in the NE district. The bells remain in good order. The loan of any of the sets of handbells is subject to the regulations printed on page 84 of this report. Vestey Ring The Vestey Ring is a portable peal of six, tenor 81b 5oz in B. Three promotional banners are available with the mini ring. Details are available at http://www.suffolkbells.org.uk/towers/vesteyringl.php The bells had eleven outings during 2016, two of which were out of county, details of which can be found at http://www.suffolkbells.org.uk/vesteyringbookingsall.php

21 Directory of Suffolk Towers and Correspondents The 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 known. All Guild tower correspondent email addresses are {towername}@suffolkbells.org.uk

Condition of the ring (Cond) 10 Excellent. Ball bearings, modern frame and fittings. 9 Excellent. Plain bearings, modern frame and fittings or ball bearings in old frame. 8 Good going order 7 Fair going order 6 Poor going order 5 Ringable if cleaned up and odd fittings and ropes provided 4 Rung occasionally. Frame/fittings nearly life expired 3 Not to be rung mainly because of tower and/or frame arrangement and position 2 Not to be rung mainly because of frame and/or fittings 1 Flung dead 0 Some bells unhung on the ground Please note that the classification is based on the condition only at the last date of inspection, and any enquiries or requests for further inspections 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 explanation there are 1200 cents in an octave; a key given as C+80 could be written as C#-20m and the notes given are those of the standard equal tempered scale with note 'A' vibrating at 440Hz. Code: G Ground floor ring A Anticlockwise rope circle D Detached tower R Round tower S Simulator T Toilets available

The Suffolk Guild of Ringers will not support or condone any attempts by its members or indeed anyone else to ring on bells which are classified as condition 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 Report—Kate Gill I was pleased to be elected as the Secretary for the North East District, at the Annual District Meeting in November 2016. As a relatively new returner to this absorbing activity, it is a pleasure to become more closely involved in supporting ringing throughout our Dis­ trict. Mike Cowling is our new Chairman and Philip Gorrod remains as Ringing Master. Warm thanks are due to our previous Chairman and Secretary, Ed Rolph and Michelle Williams. The District has had a busy year and we are pleased that we have attracted eleven new members. There has been a busy programme of focused training events, following tower liaison meetings in January to discuss their needs. These focused practice sessions have included bell handling for beginners at Blythburgh, call changes at Halesworth, Metfield and Yoxford, Plain Hunt at Rumburgh, and Plain Bob Doubles at Reydon and Theberton. Ten District members attended Module 1 of the ITTS held at Reydon and two others attended a similar course at Bury St Edmunds. The District Striking Competition was held in May at Wissett, and there was a good entry, including bands that had not recently or regularly taken part. It was an enjoyable event and we hope that more bands will take part in the District Striking Competition on 13 May 2017 at Metfield. The District was also pleased to host the 2016 Guild Striking Competition at Reydon and Southwold.

34

34 We were asked to attend the FolkEast event in Little Glemham during three days in August, with a team of ringers available to help people try the mini-ring. We are grateful to ringers from other Districts who helped. Many people tried the mini-ring and we collected names of those interested in progressing further. However, this has not proved successful in terms of finding new recruits. There were some notable successes in terms of ringing peals and quarter peals during the year. These are too numerous to mention individually, but included a first peal for Sal Jenkinson and first peals for many years for Mike Cowling, Jon lies and Chrissie Pickup. First quarter peals were scored by Barry Kimber, Caron Harris and Dominic Parkes.

Practices - In an attempt to ensure that each practice would have enough people, we tried a new formula this year, a quarter peal attempt followed by open ringing: this we did in February, March, April and May. Although reducing the open practice time, this approach meant that those turning up were guaranteed a ring. Striking competitions - We did not hold a District striking competition this year. We were represented in the Guild six bell by teams from Great Barton coming 3rd (method) and 2nd (Call Changes) and Pakenham 5th (Call Changes). Quarter Peal Week - 21st to 29th May. We repeated last year's simultaneous quarter peals followed by a meal. During the week a total of 28 people participated with 11 quarters scored at 9 different towers. Training - In June we held a training morning titled 'How to Improve your Striking' on the simulator at the Norman Tower. This was attended by 6 trainees from 4 different towers with 6 helpers. Outing - Held in July, this year's outing was to Cambridgeshire. In spite of a long delay on the A14 we all made it to the first tower on time. Focus practice - This was held in August and designed as follow up to the training morning. The Lakenheath ringers invited us to their practice where we assisted with rounds and Call

37

37 Changes and Plain Hunt Doubles. This was very well attended with 19 present. The Guild Social - September. The Ring and Ramble + picnic was designed to ensure the event would happen regardless of numbers. 35 people (and two dogs) joined us with each District represented. The weather could have been better, but we didn't lose anyone on the footpaths around Thornham Magna and Wickham Skeith. Three table quizzes were provided for entertainment after the picnic in the village hall at Thornham Magna. In October we held the ADM at Rougham and in November there was a quarter peal and open practice at Great Barton, with our Christmas social and ringing at Pakenham in December. District events have been fairly well attended although we would welcome more District members and visitors in 2017.

After a lot of analysis and discussion, the District chose to drop future quarterly meetings with immediate effect. This decision was not an easy one to take. There has, however, been a healthy level of District events; District practices, the training morning, quarters afternoon, quarter peal fortnight and the outing. We are grateful to Jane Harper who volunteered to take the role of Secretary (with reduced responsibilities) at the March meeting. April saw the first District training day for a long while. Grundisburgh ringing room was full to capacity and, from the feedback we received, this session on ringing up and down was much appreciated by all those in attendance. Ipswich Historic Churches Trust—George Pipe, who has represented the Guild's interests on the Trust for some 36 years, has stepped down. We owe a great deal to George for this unstinting service and are delighted that Katharine Salter has volunteered to take up this responsibility. We were delighted that the District was well represented in the Guild's entry to the Ringing World National Youth Contest held in London in July. They attained a Grade B for their entry in the Call Change competition. I know the team are very grateful for the sponsorship from the Pipe Fund and general fundraising by members.

40 At the Guild AGM in April, Tom Scase was 'promoted' by election as the Guild Ringing Master. He kindly agreed to continue in both posts until the ADM. We are of course delighted for Tom and proud that this key Guild role has been filled by a District member. Thank you all, and especially the District Officers, who have given freely of their time over the past year.

You know who you are! Monthly practices and other events have been held on 4th Saturdays at a variety of different towers, with ringing for all levels of ability. There has also been a monthly practice on Sunday afternoons at Sudbury, St Peter. These are your practices so please come and get a 'buzz' from helping our newer ringers to achieve or by challenging yourself to ring something different.

The District Striking Competition was held at Rattlesden on 25th June. We had a fabulous bring and share tea and thanks go to everyone who contributed to the success of this event by ringing and donating food. Also, a big thank you must go to Dave Ward and his team of happy helpers. We would like to see more ringers having a go at this, so please put June 24th in your diary and start practising! Congratulations are also due to the Woolpit team who came 2nd in the Guild 6 bell competition for the Mitson Shield, ringing Grandsire Doubles. I am sure that we have other ringers in our district who could enter a band for this or the Lester Brett Call-Change trophy - are you up for this challenge in 2017? In July four district ringers attended an Association of Ringing Teachers Module 1 course (teaching Bell-handling) at The Norman Tower. They are all now actively teaching new

46 ringers at Hadleigh and Cavendish, with support from their assigned mentors. Watch this space for an increase in membership over the next 12 months! Anyone interested in the ART courses can read more at http://ringingteachers.org/ If you have young ringers at your tower please encourage them to attend the District Young Ringers events as it is much more fun ringing with people of your own age - contact Ruth Suggett vrcoordinator(5)suffolkbells.org.uk Enjoy your ringing in 2017!

3) Relate any new method to what you 3) Learn the place bell order and all of already know the starts

4) Familiarise yourself with new types 4) Learn the structure of the method of w ork by using the grid (shows blue line for each bell for one lead) 5) Learn where you pass the treble and where you work with it 5) Learn the bobs and singles

6) A poor handling style can affect 6) Practise ringing the method on progress so get someone to video Abel you then listen to their advice! 7) Do your homework (before the 7) Try to maintain a constant rhythm practice night) (which should be the same as the 8) Listen critically to your striking rest of the band) (whatever you are ringing) 8) Stand behind someone and follow 9) Attend Training Days & Ringing them ringing the method you are Courses learning 10) Attempt a quarter peal 9) Go out to other towers where they ring what you are learning (& attend Guild and District events)

49 Peal Secretary's Report—Christine Knight The rise in the Guild peal total to 107 in 2016 was very welcome after the big drop of the previous year. However, it is disappointing to note a further decline, to 40, in the number of Suffolk towers which hosted Guild peals during the year. Excursions out of county have also diminished recently. There were just two such peals, at Ardleigh in Essex and Elloughton in the East Riding of Yorkshire. There were no peals following restoration projects in 2016, but on 7th August the last peal was rung on the old bells at Horringer prior to the casting of an eagerly awaited completely new ring. There were fewer national commemorations to act as stimuli for peals in 2016, but it was good to see the Suffolk Guild feature prominently in the record of peals to celebrate the 90th birthday of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Peals were rung at Felixstowe on 22ndApril and at Aldeburgh and Wenhaston on 12th June. Also, Brian Whiting composed and conducted special 5090's of Elizabeth R Surprise Royal and Queen Elizabeth II Delight Major, rung at the Norman Tower (11th June) and Offton (16th June) respectively. Nationwide, World War One centenary peals continued throughout the year, both to honour individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice and to commemorate major battles in the conflict. On 31st May, a new method was rung at Grundisburgh to mark the centenary of the Battle of Jutland. A 5100 of Battle of Jutland S Major was rung in memory of RSM James Bennett (RM), who was a survivor of that battle and had been a ringer at Grundisburgh. Another local ringer was remembered in a footnote to the peal at Pettistree on 17th November. The peal was rung on the exact centenary of the death of village resident Private Edward George Cooper. The centenary of the commencement of the Battle of the Somme on 1st July 1916 was also a focus for peals. Stephen Pettman conducted another Brian Whiting composition, this time a 5100 of Somme S Major at Henley on 1st July, it having been the worst day in the history of the British army, which suffered 57,470 casualties on that day alone. The 'First Peal 2015' initiative produced eight first pealers for the Guild. Without this impetus, there were just two first pealers in 2016. Congratulations must go to Adrian Craddock and Sal Jenkinson. It is interesting that the peals in which each of these reached this milestone also contained someone ringing a peal after a very long gap. At Grundisburgh on 16th May, Joanna Crowe rang her first peal for 35 years, and the peal at Wenhaston on 12th June was Michael Cowling's first peal for 50 years, both huge achievements. In fact, 2016 could be seen as 'the year of the returnee', an exceptional year in that Joanna and Michael were joined by no less than four other ringers who had been absent from the peal columns for many years: Christine Pickup (Wissett, 2nd July) after a gap of 24 years, Rowan Wilson (Grundisburgh, 4th November) after 25 years and, although not claimed in footnotes, Martyn Crouch (Horringer, 7th August) after 19 years and Mark Ogden (Ufford, 30th July) after 25 years. Hopefully, they will be encouraged to ring further peals in the near future. Many trends in Suffolk peal ringing have continued, with monthly attempts by the Aldeburgh peal band, and also attempts of Surprise Major on the light eight at St Mary-le-Tower. At The Wolery, the 350th peal on the bells was reached on 10th February. It was also pleasing to see more peals at Grundisburgh in 2016, where the 700th peal on the bells for the Guild was recorded on 9th April. After the huge dip in 10 and 12 bell peals in 2015, it is encouraging to see an increase, though still no peals of wrong place Royal or Maximus. Five handbell peals have boosted the Guild peal total, and it is good to see talented younger ringers taking part. On tower bells, one first each of Minor, Royal and Maximus, together with a first of Surprise Major, London Major and Bristol Major and three firsts of Cambridge Major were recorded; these are all encouraging, but there is scope for much more. It may be that there is a hiatus between a very able group of young ringers who are now well established and, in some cases, have left the county, and a new group of young ringers who are only just beginning to realise their potential in peal ringing. The peal rung on the Vestey Mini-Ring at Halesworth on 6th April, by a predominantly youthful band, with 5 firsts on a mini-ring, indicates that there is no lack of enthusiasm. Mini-bell ringing is a difficult skill, and the band is to be congratulated on this achievement. The List of Conductors also makes positive reading as 6 of the ringers 50

50 featured are aged under 30. Louis Suggett and Alex Tatlow maintain their interest in composition. Alex called his own composition of Yorkshire Major at Ixworth on 1st February, and Louis his own composition of Stedman Cinques at St Mary-le-Tower on 6th February. George Salter is also to be congratulated on calling a complex Alan Reading composition of Double Norwich at Ardleigh on 29th July. Stephen Pettman has always been keen to produce musical compositions and has developed an innovative series of compositions of Plain Bob using a 'shunt' call to shorten courses and cut out less musical parts. The Major version, rung at Leiston on 1st September, was particularly difficult to call. As the number of peal venues declines, the number of Guild towers which used to host one or two peals a year, but now have not been pealed for several years is rising, with the regrettable effect that the difficulty of obtaining permission for a peal attempt can only increase. The peal rung at Clopton on 28th May during the church's flower festival is a good example of peal ringing for a local occasion, which, if organised carefully, can be such good PR for ringing in a local community. Such peals could, perhaps, involve ringers who ring peals infrequently, and thus bring the benefits of peal ringing to a wider cross section of our membership. Finally, I should like to thank David Salter, Brian Whiting and Michelle Williams for all their support in preparing the peals section of this Report. First performances for the Guild during the year were: 06 Jan The Wolery Selly Oak S Major 10 Jan Aldeburgh Barnes S Major 14 Feb Aldeburgh Waterloo Tower S Major 09 Mar The Wolery Aswarby S Major 25 Mar The Wolery Eastwood S Major 06 Apr The Wolery Regent's Park S Major 13 Apr The Wolery Fishwick B Major * 08 May Aldeburgh Appledore S Major 31 May Grundisburgh Battle of Jutland S Major * 11 Jun Bury, NT Elizabeth R S Royal 16 Jun Offton Queen Elizabeth II D Major 01 Jul Flenley Somme S Major 14 Aug Bungay Crowder S Major 11 Sep Aldeburgh Lathkill S Major 17 Oct Grundisburgh Vaguely S Major 02 Nov The Wolery Walkerville S Major 11 Dec Aldeburgh Uttlesford D Major 14 Dec The Wolery Blackley B Major * * First peal in the method

Young Ringers There is an active group of Young Ringers in the Guild that ring together and support each other to further their ringing. Events have been held on a Guild-wide basis, but we are likely to focus on more local practices to reduce travel. Previously we have entered teams into the Ringing World National Youth Contest, but this is not the only purpose of the group. We ask for all Tower Captains to promote this group and encourage attendance. If you're interested in joining the group and ringing with other young ringers please contact vrcoordinator(5)suffolkbells.org.uk

74 Safeguarding Statement The Suffolk Guild of Ringers takes the safeguarding and protection 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 attend our activities. All children and vulnerable adults will be treated with respect and dignity. Safeguarding Policy The Guild, as advised by the CCCBR, follows the Safeguarding Procedures of the St Edmundsbury & Ipswich Diocese: • 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 Tower Captains and ringing teachers MUST hold a current clear DBS check status IF their role includes the training of children or vulnerable adults • In such circumstances Tower Captains and ringing teachers must attend Level 2 "face to face" Safeguarding Training (Raising Awareness of Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups) in 2 the Diocese every three years. • Any ringer involved with training children or vulnerable adults should complete Level 1 Safeguarding Training (Induction Training) which is available to download from the Diocesan website, tinvurl.com/edind. Once completed the form should be seen and countersigned by the Parish Safeguarding Officer or the incumbent, who will store it securely.3 • Any person requiring safeguarding training in either of the above categories MUST also complete a Confidential Declaration Form, tinvurl.com/edcdec. The completed form should be handed to the incumbent for secure and confidential storage. A ringer does NOT require a DBS check if acting in a supporting role, unplanned one-off teaching or deputising in an emergency, providing two adults (preferably one of each gender) are present, or transporting 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.4 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 Parish Safeguarding Officer will keep a register of Level 2 courses attended but ringers are advised to keep their own record too to ensure that their qualifications do not lapse. 3 It is only necessary to print page 9. 4 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 Mary Garner Safeguarding Officer, Suffolk Guild of Ringers

75 Minutes of the Suffolk Guild Annual General Meeting held on Saturday 2nd April 2016 at Hadleigh 1. Welcome, Thanks and Apologies The Chairman expressed the meeting's thanks to The Very Revd Martin Thrower for lead­ ing the service and to the Church for its hospitality. The Chairman then expressed his thanks to Derek and Penny Rose and the whole team for an excellent tea. Thanks were given to Philip Gorrod for demonstrating handbells this afternoon and to members of the BAC who were on hand to give advice. £191 was raised for the Young Ringers to enter RWNYC 2016 in the raffle. There was an excellent response to the subscriptions tabletop survey that Ralph Earey organised for the 2015 AGM which showed that responders would be largely supportive of a reduction / removal of age related concessions. Results and analysis are on the website 82 members signed the attendance book. 27 gave their apologies. 2. Absent Friends The meeting stood for a minute's silence to remember: Matthew Warner, Benedict Powell, Jack Bennett, Mike Warren, The Rt Revd Clive Young, the Ven Terence Gibson, Dr John Blatchly, Sal Burrows and Peggy Mayle. 3. Election of New Members Terry Langland (Hadleigh), proposer Richard Finch, seconder Derek Rose. Judith Raven (Wenhaston), proposer Michelle Williams, seconder Philip Gorrod. Duly elected. 4. Minutes of the 2015 AGM Annual Report page 80 The minutes of the last meeting were signed as a true account of the meeting. 4. Matters Arising from the minutes None 5. Officers reports Maurice Rose proposed and Carl Melville seconded that the reports appearing in the annual Report be adopted by the meeting. The Chairman thanked all the officers in advance, especially to those stepping down and those taking up new roles within the Guild. i. Ringing Master Annual Report page 13 ii. Secretary Annual Report page 15 iii. Guild accounts Annual Report page 17 The Guild accounts were accepted by the meeting. Proposed Maurice Rose, seconded John Girt. All in favour. iv. Technical Adviser/Belfry Advisory Committee Annual Report page 11 v. Public Relations Officer Annual Report page 16 vi. Magazine Editor Thank you to all those who have sent contributions to the magazine in the last year. I apologise if your piece has not yet appeared -sometimes it is not possible to fit everything in, or your piece has arrived after the copy deadline. We have produced three issues since the last AGM and kept to much the same format each time. This means that the districts in turn are asked to provide the front and back pages, the chairman is given a slot and all the districts are invited to contribute some news of their ringing activities. On page 2 you will always find information about the deadline for the next issue and details of how to submit your articles. After that we are keen to receive any other bell related stories, preferably with photographs. We are particularly interested in covering news of training events and of the activities of our young ringers. We would also like to congratulate bands or individuals on notable performances. Ideas for future articles would be gratefully received.

76

76 Especially thanks to our cartoonist who never fails to produce another episode in the lives of those well known ringers Bob and Sally. I apologise for the unfortunate timing of the latest issue, which was delivered to the District Secretaries just after they had finished distributing the Annual Reports. This means that it is quite likely that some towers have not yet received the spring issue. Many thanks to all those who assist in distributing the magazine. - Sue Freeman. Librarian Annual Report page 15 Peal secretary Annual Report page 48 ix. Mini-ring and Handbell Trustee Report The Guild has four sets of handbells. 25 bells by Taylors size 20 in C (2 chromatic octaves), 16 bells generally by Shaw size 19 in F (diatonic 13 + 3 semitones), 13 bells by Warner size 20 in E (diatonic 12 + 1 semitone), 13 bells by various founders size 20 in F (diatonic 13). They have been used intermittently during the year and currently the sets of 25 and 16 are back with the trustee. The two sets of 13 are in the NE and NW districts respectively. The bells remain in good order. The Vestey Ring is sought after in the Guild and beyond and is used about 12 times a year. Details of its visits are on the Guild Website. There were signs of some wear and tear because of transportation etc. This was to be expected but ongoing maintenance would be needed. - Brian Whiting x. Webmaster Annual Report page 16 xi. Report Editor Hopefully by now you will all have had time to familiarise yourselves with the 2015 Guild Report. Production has been a labour of love, particularly with an early Easter bringing tight deadlines for completion. For the first time, tower and correspondent details are provided together in one place. We have also made a good start on providing @suffolkbells.org.uk email address contacts for those towers with an email-able correspondent and ringable bells. Information has been cross checked against the website, but is still very much a work in progress. If you know of additional correspondent email details, or have any other amendments to give, then please do let me know, so that details can be changed. There are so many of you who helped make the Report possible this year. To everyone that contributed, even in the smallest way - thank you. Special thanks are due to District Secretaries and Treasurers, the peal team of Christine, David and Brian, to Neal for quarter peal data, Winston for tower details and to Chris Garner, our webmaster, for the massive task of setting up the Guild tower email addresses. I have a final thank you to my ringing friends and family for proof reading the Report endless times and for putting up with me being grumpy. The Report is a true team effort. Thank you all; I couldn't have done it without you! - Michelle Williams John Girt asked that postal addresses be re-instated. Some debate ensued and the chairman asked that John put his views to the GMC through Ralph Earey so that the GMC could discuss and provide direction to the Report Editor. John Girt further pointed out to the Report Editor that elements of information had been omitted not only in the 2015 report but also from the 2014 report. The Chairman interjected to inform the meeting that there had been no proper handover to the Report editor and that under those circumstances he felt she had made a good job of a very difficult task. xii. Young Ringers Following a lacklustre start to the year, we are now in the process of organising a band and entering the Ringing World National Youth Contest. We are also now proud to have Ruth Suggett as our co-ordinator who will run the Young Ringers and give us some much needed expertise. This band, who will be representing Suffolk in The National Youth Contest, will be travelling down to London and will be put through their paces in the heats. The successful teams from the heats will then go into the final and compete for the trophy.

77

77 With promising new ringers in each districts, particularly in the South West and North East Districts, we hope to produce some Young Ringers and this will give us a good boost, both in terms of numbers and the presence of Young Ringers in the Guild. - Ambrin Williams 7. Trustees’ Report__ Annual Report page 9 8. Central Council Report As seen on the website. 9. Subscriptions and Peal Fees for 2017 Fees this year remain unchanged. However, the results from the AGM 2015 survey show that removing age concessions to increase subscriptions revenue would be acceptable to respondents. The Chairman went on to remind members that one way to avoid future increases in subscriptions would be to recruit new members. 10. Election of Officers for 2016/2017 The Chairman thanked all the officers of the Guild, particularly those stepping down this year and to those who work behind the scenes. The chairman made specific mention of Jed Flatters' contribution as Ringing Master and that of Richard Munnings as Public Relations Officer for five years immediately following his five years as Ringing Master. There were single nominations for each of the following and the officers were appointed without the need for election

Jed said the field is open for more competition next year as Offton would not be entering. Funds raised by Offton would go toward their own project. 17. Any Other Business Mary Garner has had over 500 membership forms back. It has gained more email addresses to aid Guild communications. There have been 90 or so amendments to Gift Aid. Mary asked that we make use of the membership secretary. John Girt has brought with him a Guild report collection for people to take home if they wish. They date from 1971- present. David Stanford asked that ringers make use of Clopton bells over the bank holiday weekend of May 30th, which is Clopton Church flower festival. They would like the bells rung all three days. Offers of peals and quarters welcome. Mike Whitby said that Richard Munning's blog was interesting and useful to the Guild. Will he carry on? Richard said he would! 18.
