Every year the Guild Rules require that members are elected to the posts of Guild Master, Hon Treasurer, Hon Secretary and Ringing Master (the Guild Officer posts). In addition, six members are elected to serve on the Committee.
Under the newly agreed Rules, every three years the Guild needs to elect members to the posts of President, Vice President (2nr at present) and Central Council Representatives (2nr required). This year these posts additionally come up for election.
Regarding the Central Council reps, Keith Murphy has indicated that he will not stand again. Chris Povey, the other rep, is likely to stand again, so one person will be required in this respect.
It helps greatly if the attached proposal slip is used to put candidates forward. It means the candidate doesn't have to be there, as his/her permission is already signified.
Firstly, please consider standing for these posts. Secondly, please propose candidates (and please use the slip!)

The deadline for the next issue of the FSG Newsletter is September 13th 2013
This Newsletter survives only because of the contributions you make to it. Without them it will fail. Articles can be submitted to the undersigned via email or to the postal addresses shown above, or to any committee member.
Please contribute something, however small (or large). You would be surprised the things people enjoy reading about. A few suggestions: an historical item; a funny story; a quarter peal report; poems; puzzles; tales, events past and to come; a ringing tour, even! Send them in. They will all be welcome ... and don't worry if you think your handwriting is unintelligible. It can normally be translated. Just send the stuff in!

If sending articles by email, please use MS Word (not the dreaded Works*) format for written articles, JPG format for photos, and scanned items in PDF or JPG formats. (We have the facility to scan photo prints if you haven't.) Please let us know ownership of photos for acknowledgement where relevant. If you have a long article, you might consider breaking it into parts.
(* If you've only got Microsoft Works, then Save As
your article into Rich Text Format - ie, suffix .rtf - and send in this form.)
