Letter from the Master…

The Master’s Final Message

Having completed my three years, it has been an honour to serve as the Master of the Association.  To see such a strong Association with over 1200 members is fantastic.  My observations are that we have a strong Bell Restoration Fund led by David Kirkcaldy, our Publicity within ringing and to the public is going from strength to strength with SOUNDBOW at the forefront and our divisional newsletters serving each division well. 
 
The one thing we must continue to address is our training; my thanks to Elaine Farrow and Christine Baldock for all their input.  With new ringers coming into the art of ringing, it doesn’t matter how good the rest of our Association is – No Ringers, No Bells Rung!  So to everyone who reads this, your help is much appreciated by our learners.  It doesn’t matter what you do, from teaching people to handle a bell, standing behind someone learning call changes or Surprise, your help and time is appreciated.
 
My thanks go to the Trustees, Divisional Ringing Masters and Officers, and of course to Margaret Oram who has been a rock throughout my three years.  I am sure the new Master will get as much support from the Association as I have.

Ian P Hastilow
