PEAL SECRETARY REQUIRED!

Arising from an item at the AGM, the Committee now asks whether anyone would like to take on the role of Peal Secretary. The job is to write up in the Peal Book the details of peals rung for the Guild. This needs to be done by hand, as the Peal Book is pre-printed, so acceptable hand-writing skills would be an advantage!

Rules and Constitution of the Fund and application forms are available from the Honorary Secretary.

There is a small backlog of peals, but, with only about 3 peals a year, this isn't onerous.

If interested, speak to Andrew Gunn, the Honorary Secretary.

GUILD 40TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

The Guild was re-founded on 30th March 1973 in the Church Rooms, Chipping Campden.

To mark the 40th (ruby) anniversary of this event, there will be a short celebratory get-together in the same Church Rooms on Saturday 30th March 2013. It will start about 8.30pm (note: the Saturday night practice at Bourton-on-the-Hill will run from 7.00-8.15pm)

Come along to celebrate this momentous anniversary!

GUILD METAL LAPEL BADGES

An order has now been placed for a batch of 100 lapel badges. These will look like the badge on the front of this Newsletter (except that the background colour will be green). It is hoped to have them available to members at the Guild Annual Dinner (and afterwards, of course). They will be priced at £4 each.

(Is there any interest in a badge with a red background as a special one-off to celebrate our ruby anniversary??)
