Buckfast Abbey is one of the West Country‘s hidden gems. The Central Tower, the highest in Devon at 158ft (48m). A band attempted a quarter peal here on Sunday 2nd February 2020. The ringers were drawn from four of the branches of the Salisbury Guild (East Dorset, Dorchester, Salisbury and West Dorset). Ringing up commenced immediately after reaching the ringing room due to time constraints, and it was soon time to catch hold. Jack had organised the band to attempt a quarter peal of Grandsire Triples on the back eight. Everyone was nervous but pulled together to ring what was, for the majority, an excellent quarter. This is even more impressive when the band don‘t ring together and some of the band are not used to bells of this weight. It was excellent practice for all. 1,288 changes of Grandsire Triples was scored in 62 minutes, and the bells were rung straight down afterwards, with a cracking hum all the way down.

Five learners from Lytchett Matravers, Lytchett Minster and Winterborne Whitechurch were accompanied by thirteen experienced ringers from other towers in the East Dorset, Dorchester and West Dorset Branches, as well as from the Bath and Wells Diocesan Association and the Guild of Devonshire Ringers. In the afternoon a band attempted a quarter of Plain Bob Major at Ilminster, which was scored in 54 minutes. Whilst quite brisk for these bells, most of the ringing was of a very high quality, especially considering the band don‘t ring together and it was on bells most of them didn‘t know. All of Visit: https://eastdorsetbranchbellringers.squarespace.com/ for the band were very impressed with the sound of the bells. more information and wonderful pictures. From the Master As a rule I don‘t take much notice of ‗ringing chatter‘ at a national level. I read with interest what ‗ball is rolling‘ in the letters column of The Ringing World; I don‘t subscribe to e-mail lists or ringing social media. However two ‘news stories‘ have aroused my interest recently, although I would be the first to admit that I have not thoroughly researched or read up on either. The first was some loose talk of ‗winding up territorial societies‘ (like ours) and the second was all this Blue- Red-Black Zone business (no idea what I‘m talking about-read on!) On the first, I hope that you, dear readers and Guild members will allow me, your Master, an occasional diversion from my moderated and measured language in this column and say, as far as our beloved Guild is concerned: ―Over my dead body!‖ Well that feels better! But seriously, I realise that this proposition comes from a genuine concern that associations like ours are not serving their members. I can only speak for our Guild: it is of course true that our Guild is not perfect; we have areas where we could improve or do things better (what organisation hasn‘t?) and we all know the challenges that we all face on recruitment, keeping tower bands going, training and communication. But nevertheless, I am incredibly proud of this old Guild of ours (and all its eight Branches) and how it helps keep ringing going across our Diocese and most of all for the friendship and fellowship that we have together; we mustn‘t lose that. And I still believe, even in our rural patch, that we as a Guild (and its Branches), supported by organisations such as ART, can today offer anyone who has the talent and wants to progress, the best opportunity to do so of any generation. And so this Zone business—this has come from an analysis of ringing from the new President of the Central Council, Simon Linford, which categorizes ringers as either in the Blue Zone-roughly handing a bell to Kent (90%)-the Red Zone-Cambridge Minor to simple methods on 12 bells (9%) up to the Black Zone-the ‗elite‘ you might say, Bristol Maximus upwards–you can work out the percent yourself; and importantly the transition (the ringing equivalent of ‗social mobility‘) between these zones. My reflection, you might be surprised to hear, is on Black Zone ringers, who in our Guild are predominately, but not exclusively, centred around Wimborne. First we should value and appreciate this talent and dare I say it, not resent it. Also (and again I can only comment on what I have seen in our patch) over the last few years I have had the chance to get to know some of our ‗Black Zone‘ ringers and (we may be lucky in our elite!) they ‗give back‘ at so many levels, encouraging and helping other ringers in and around their towers and in the life of their Branches and the Guild—not to mention supporting the advancement of young ringers. And I might add a further reflection: this analysis should surely not only be understood in absolute terms: if you can ring Cambridge in an area that is predominately ‗rounds and call changes‘ you might be perceived in the same way as a ‗Black Zone‘ ringer would be in the generality of ringing. Whatever else we do, for the future of ringing in our Guild, we must embrace (perhaps literally-safeguarding permitting!) our ‘Black Zone‘ ringers.

  • Method 'Splicing'
    THE CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS Methods Committee Method ‘Splicing’ PRACTICAL HINTS by John P. Fidler A Central Council publication CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS ––––––––––––––––– Methods Committee Method ‘Splicing’ PRACTICAL HINTS by John P. Fidler WITH INTRODUCTION ‘The Theory and Practice of Splicing’ by Joseph W. Parker ––––––––––––––––– SECOND EDITION ––––––––––––––––– 1995 ISBN No. 0-900271-35-3 EDITORIAL NOTES This book was first published in 1925 and comprised a series of articles entitled Hints on splicing and ringing Minor Methods by John P. Fidler, which were reprinted from The Ringing World, together with an introduction by Joseph W. Parker. In preparing the text for this edition some changes to the original text have been considered desirable. The earlier work relied on the availability of the Central Council Collection of Legitimate Methods, 1907 and referred by number to methods which appeared in that publication. These references have been replaced by the actual names of the methods and all the method names have been brought up- to-date. Furthermore, whole leads of the thirty-five methods rung at Norbury have been included. In this edition we have followed the modern conventions that the first blow of the treble’s full lead is called the lead end, the last blow of the treble’s full lead is called the lead head and that the name of the method is shown next to the lead head. In the first edition inconsistent and possibly confusing notations were used. Third’s place Delight and Fourth’s place Delight are no longer considered to be separate classes and so this distinction has been removed.

Frequency and displacement data informed a physical model implemented in the Faust programming language (Functional Audio Stream). The authors hosted a con- cert for Tsar bell and Carillon with the generous support of Meyer Sound and a University of Michigan bicentennial grant. In the concert, the simulated Tsar bell was triggered by the keyboard and perceptually fused with the bourdon of the Baird Carillon on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1735 Empress Anna Ivanovna commissioned the giant Tsar Kolokol bell. The bell was cast in an excavated pit then raised into scaffolding for the cooling and engraving process. When the supporting wooden structure caught fire, the bell was doused with water causing the metal to crack.

  • Giving Adviser Application Pack, Salisbury Diocese
    Information pack for the post of Giving Adviser 1 Contents Welcome from the Director of Finance and Asset Management…………………………....3 Job Description………………………………………………………………………………………………………4 Person Specification………………………………………………………………………………………………6 About the Diocese of Salisbury……………………………………..………….……………………………7 General Terms of Employment………………………………………………………………….......……13 Application Process………………………………………………………………………………………………13 2 Welcome Thank you very much for your interest in this important post in the Diocese of Salisbury. The foci of our Diocesan strategy – Renewing Hope – are “pray, serve, grow”, and giving and generosity has been identified as a key driver, particularly in relation to “grow”. As a priority work area for the diocese we want to challenge ourselves about generosity and manage our assets well so that we grow new income and release funds for pioneering work in mission and ministry. Average planed giving per person per week according to the latest statistics in Salisbury Diocese is £10 ranking Salisbury 27th out of 41 dioceses. Giving as a percentage of income is 2.9% ranking Salisbury 36th out of 41 dioceses. This means of course, that there is huge potential for development and growth. Over the last year, we have invested time and resource to really understand the lay of the land around giving and generosity in the Diocese. From this we are developing a Diocesan Giving Vision and a plan that operationalises Renewing Hope in this area – the new Giving Advisor will be key to shaping this further and bringing it to life. As part of the ongoing review and development of the Diocesan Giving Vision we have convened an Inspiring Giving working group which functions as a sub-committee of the Diocesan Board of Finance.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this thesis is to review and formulate the history and information concerning bells and campaniles which will aid in the designing of a campanile suitable for Kansas State College. It is hoped that the showing of a design for such a structure with the accompanying model will further stimulate the interest of both students, faculty members, and others in the ultimate completion of such a project. The design for such a tower began about two years ago when the senior Architectural Design Class, of which I was a member, was given a problem of designing a campanile for the campus. The problem was of great interest to me and became more so when I learned that the problem had been given to the class with the thought in mind that some day a campanile would be built.

Robinson File 02 – Chapters IV, V, VI and VII Pages 98 to 202 This document is provided for you by The Whiting Society of Ringers visit www.whitingsociety.org.uk for the full range of publications and articles about bells and change ringing CHAPTER IV. HE year 1889 was by far the busiest in my whole ringing career, as in it I accomplished 85 peals. This large number of suc­ cesses was owing to the great skill of Mr. Washhrook in conducting peals. We began with a 5040 of Grandsire Triples at Drayton on the eve of my birthday, January 5th. This was followed by three peals of Stedman, one of Caters at Appleton, and two of Triples at Drayton. Early in February, I accepted an invitation from Mr. J. W. Taylor, jun., to the Midlands, having stipulated that Mr. Washbrook should be of the party, his services being invaluable. The other visitors were, the Revs. G. F. Coleridge and W. W. C. Baker; Mr. (now Sir) A. Percival Heywood, of Duffield, joined the party, and Messrs. H. Baker and C. H. Hattersley. Mr. W. \Vakley, of Burton-on-Trent, joined us as conductor for two peals. At Loughborough we were assisted by Messrs. Cresser, Lane and Tyler of the local company. Nine peals were rung during· the week ; the only failure being on the first evening at Loughborough, where the conductor called three bobs in succession in a peal of Kent Treble Bob Royal, thereby vitiating the truth of the performance. The following were our peals :- (1)-February 5th, at S.
