February Issue 50 North East Region Newsletter February 2003 Issue 50 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Dear Friends, A Happy New Year to you all! I hope you were all busy during the Christmas season and perhaps enjoying a little rest and recuperation! As I write this first letter of the New Year, my ‘head’s a shed’ as they say - full of rubbish that I am desperately trying to get into some sort of order as I look forward to the Region’s activities for 2003. In the forefront of my mind, of course, is the National Rally; a mere eight weeks away! I am both humbled and anxious by the number of HRGB members who have registered for the weekend. To date we have 468 members attending and 38 full teams. This must surely make our Rally one of the most well attended since the 1970’s. I am particularly proud of the support from teams in the North East Region and I am sure you will all enjoy taking part. Thank you so much! The format of the day will take the form of a traditional rally with a morning and afternoon session with opportunities for massed ringing. In addition there will be several masterclass presentations as an alternative option. There has been a wonderful response from trade exhibitors and a wide range of handbell-related products will be represented and, of course, there will be our gala concert to bring the whole day to a fitting close. 1 As you can imagine, this initial organisation has taken some pulling together but it is beginning to take shape and we are now looking to bring our army of helpers together to ensure our friends are given a truly ‘Yorkshire’ welcome. If you are able to offer help, particularly on the Friday evening and during Saturday, Joan Engler and I would be pleased to hear from you. We will then be able to draw up our timetable to ensure that you also have time to enjoy the day’s activities as well. In nine weeks’ time it will all be over and our attention will turn to Grassington. Don’t the years roll by? Application forms are enclosed with this newsletter. You will notice that the massed ringing is ‘to be announced’. I thought we would encourage a new approach to the massed ringing this year. I am, therefore, inviting individuals or teams in the North East Region to suggest a piece of their own choosing for massed ringing. In addition they have to be prepared to have a go at conducting the piece. We could, of course, have several entries and that would be wonderful. So, all you budding composers, arrangers and conductors, volunteer! I am sure that I need to empty my shed a bit more but I will leave it there until after York when I will write to you all again with a relieved and clearer mind! Until then ... My very best wishes to you all. JOHN ATKINSON NORTH EAST REGION CHAIRMAN CLOSING DATE FOR THE NEXT ISSUE 31 MAY 2003 2 SECRETARIAL NEWS At the time of writing my life is, to a large extent, taken up with the arrangements for the National Rally in York in April. We have over 500 ringers joining us for the day on 5 April for a day of rally ringing, massed ringing and workshops followed by an evening concert. Some 40 teams will ring during the day and a representative team from each Region will perform in the evening concert. The response from the North East Region is much increased from 1996 when we last hosted a National Rally. This year we have some 16 teams ringing, joining the massed ringing or coming along for the evening concert. We have also had offers of help with stewarding, reception duties and other necessities for the day. However, if you would still like to join us please contact me. There is no more space or time for team ringing but you will be very welcome as spectators for the day or helpers for a few hours. The Harrogate Music Festival looms large once again. Please try to come along to support those participating teams. Further details of location were in the last newsletter or contact me. Membership Renewal If you have not yet renewed your HRGB membership this will be the last ‘In Touch’ to be sent out to you this year. Renewal notices were sent out in December - if yours did not arrive please contact the Membership Secretary, Margaret Reed. Thank you to all those who have renewed. Regional Rallies and Events Spring Rally and AGM - Grassington 17 May 2003 The Rally and AGM will be held as usual in May at Grassington; invitations are included with this edition of ‘In Touch’ - see your team correspondent for further details. This is always a popular 3 event and applications will be taken on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. Despite the excellent refurbishment the walls are still not elasticated and there has to be a limit on the numbers. Autumn Rally - Gargrave 18 October 2003 Invitations will be sent out towards the end of August ONLY ON REQUEST. Let myself or any other Committee Member know if you would like to receive further information. JOAN ENGLER REGIONAL SECRETARY BRIDLINGTON PRIORY HANDBELL RINGERS In response to the request for more articles, and because you haven’t heard from us for some time, we thought we would venture into print! As with most teams, the Christmas period is our ‘busy’ time. Our first seasonal engagement, and also the debut performance for the team’s most recent recruit, was at a Victorian Christmas Market in the nearby village of Bempton. We performed at the same event a year ago and it is always nice to be invited back although being huddled in a trailer-tent on a damp and slightly misty November day meant it wasn’t easy to ring bells, keep warm and look even vaguely Victorian all at the same time! My mittens (despite being fingerless) were soon abandoned because of the difficulties of turning pages! Nevertheless it was a very successful event. The following week, another outdoor event - we were part of a varied programme of entertainment in Bridlington town centre prior to the switching on of the Christmas lights by the BBC ‘Look North’ 4 weatherman, Paul Hudson. Sadly, only the actual switch on made it to the TV screen - and the less said about the stage lighting, the better - I wonder who thought that flashing disco lights were ideal for bellringers? On the following day we had our main fundraising event of the year - our annual Christmas fair and coffee morning. The event is usually well-supported locally and this year was no exception. Our combined efforts on various stalls, plus a mid-morning ringing session, not to mention the serving of numerous coffess and mince pies, meant that we were able to make a donation of £400 to Yorkshire Cancer Research, our chosen charity for the year. Presentation of Cheque to Mavis Richardson of Yorkshire Cancer Research Photo taken by Bridlington Free Press Our other pre-Christmas performances have been in varying locations: - a village hall for an afternoon concert for the Yorkshire Countrywomen’s Association, where not only were we invited to 5 stay for tea, but were each presented with a gift from a ‘fairy godmother’! - St John’s Burlington Methodist Church, Bridlington, for a Christmas tree festival. If we weren’t in Christmas mood beforehand, we certainly were after playing carols and inspecting all the beautifully decorated trees. - a local residential/nursing home. Because a number of residents were too frail to attend, our audience was very small but very appreciative. - Bridlington Priory (Parish Church of St Mary). It has become the tradition for the handbell ringers to play in the Priory during the hour before the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. It is both thrilling and terrifying to see Bridlington Priory filling almost to capacity for this event - thrilling to be playing in such a beautiful location for so many people and terrifying for much the same reason! Now that the rush is over we are already practising hard for the CD which we hope to be recording later this year. Two of our ringers, Pat and Eileen, are also involved with a local singing group, Pat as a staunch member of the alto section and Eileen as Musical Director. Being involved with two, quite different, musical fields can give rise to confusion at times - hence the heartfelt plea in the following ‘pome’, penned by Pat: TO RING OR SING? by Pat Wilcockson I am a handbell ringer every Monday night. I clutch my little dinger and hope I get it right. We practise very hard for this, but also have some fun, But, if a lot of note we miss, the look we get would stun! 6 I am a Sewerby Singer every Wednesday night. I’d do better as a winger on a hockey field - not quite! We practise very hard each week until we are quite numb. We’re mostly very mild and meek - but - Eileen’s day will come! And when it comes to concerts - well, what am I going to wear? White blouse, green ribbon ‘cos it’s bells - that’s round my the neck not hair, But, if it’s choir it’s white and red - I’ll have to get it right! My scarf glows brightly must be said - I think I look a sight! One of these days I’ll get it wrong.

  • South West Museum Development Annual Survey of Museums 2016-17
    Museum Development Yorkshire Annual Survey of Museums 2018-19 Foreword The Annual Survey of Museums 2018-19 is part of an England wide data collection exercise for museums in, and working towards, the UK Museum Accreditation Scheme. It is the first time in over a decade that museums across the country have been able to critically assess their position and performance in the context of their peers. This report represents a snapshot of the regional museum sector and indicates the scale of our impact, reaching c. 8million visitors and contributing c. £200m the region’s economy. This economic impact is generated through £130m visitors and £70m direct, indirect and induced impacts. Thanks to the participation and support of 60% of the region’s museums to the survey, the global information in this report has a confidence level of 95% with a 6% margin of error. Using information in this report to review their plans and priorities, museums will help realise Museum Development Yorkshire’s vision for the museums of Yorkshire and the Humber to be secure, accessible and sustainable homes for their collections, and of value to the diverse communities they serve.
