RINGING MASTER’S REPORT
Once again an average year, w ith 101 peals recorded, of these one of Bob M inor w as rung in ‘hand’. 10 peals of Surprise w ere rung by the C heshire touring p arty during th e ir few days in Suffolk and a good v arie ty of m ethods are included in our local peals—M axim us th ree , two of them being Cam bridge. Eight peals of Royal w ere rung again, six of Surprise including Birm ingham , w hich w as rung for the first tim e in the county, w hile only th ree of C aters (all G randsire) w ere recorded. 39 peals of M ajor include 24 of Surprise, of these one w as four spliced, London, Bristol, Cam bridge and Superlative. Only one peal of T riples w as scored, again G randsire. M inor peals are again to the fore w ith 46, among the most in teresting are tw o of 10 m ethods rung a t Yoxford and H igham and 14 m ethods at Ashbocking. Only one peal of Doubles was rung. Yet again Cinques are m issing from our records, as also is th a t m ost m usical m ethod, S tedm an. W hilst it appears th a t Suffolk ringers still p re fe r“Tenor in ,” I still m ain ta in th a t a peal of S tedm an on ALL num bers is an achievem ent to any band. Do le t us revive th is in teresting method.
Of the 47 tow ers w here the peals w ere rung, A ldeburgh has had its first on eight, so righ tly conducted by Mr. J . P ilgrim , whose in itiative played so g rea t a p a r t in th is augm entation. M ay he have a long re tirem en t and ring m any peals on th is handy octave.
33 shared the conducting of these peals, to be headed once again by th a t ta len ted ringer and conductor Rod Pipe, w ith a to ta l of 21. D uring the year Roddy scored h is 200th peal a t 21, “good going,” w hilst his fa th e r rang his 500th. Congratulations to both and not forgetting his m other, who afte r a lapse of some 12 years has re tu rned to the peal columns w ith a peal of Spliced Surprise, four standard m ethods. Also, 1961 saw the re tu rn home of b ro ther George and D iana. Their stay, though several weeks, passed all too quickly, combining business w ith holiday restric ted th e ir ringing activities, however I am sure th a t they enjoyed the com pany of old friends and new . W hilst doing a g reat iob “down under,” the ir final home-coming w ill be eagerly aw aited.
Y et again th a t “G rand Old M an” G. E. Symonds has added th ree m ore peals of M axim us to h is credit. M ay he score his “cen tu ry ,” in fac t take p a r t in m any more.
A peal of Bob M ajor to com m em orate the “first ever” to be rung' by eight bro thers 50 years ago w as scored a t Leiston. C ongratulations to Jam es and E rnest Bailey who took p art—■ m ay they take p a r t in m any m ore.
8
At least 10 young ringers scored th e ir first peal during the year, an encouraging sign, likewise to all who ring for services Sunday by Sunday throughout the county—on behalf of the Guild—THANK Y O U !
LESLIE G. BRETT, Ringing M aster
GENERAL SECRETARY’S REPORTThis has been yet ano ther useful year from the aspect of
the Guild as a whole. 36 m eetings w ere held and the signs of youth coming along w ere encouraging a t m any of these gatherings, although some w ere not so w ell supported as the organisers would have wished. W ith m em bership one up at 515 we have m ain ta ined our position num erically. B ut I would urge every com petent ringer to exam ine his conscience and qsk him self w hether he is doing all he can in finding and teaching recruits. M any m em bers are com m itted to extensive program m es of teaching and the ir w ork is to be highly comm ended, bu t m ore instructo rs are needed if some of our silent tow ers are to come to life.
D uring the year 101 peals w ere recorded. This would have been 90 had it not been for the 11 scored on behalf of the Guild by the Cheshire R ingers P eal Tour. In th is total exclusive of the peals rung on the tour, we have to congratu late 10 first pealers and 86 first in a m ethod or on a certa in num ber of bells. In th is sphere we m ust n o t overlook the benefits w hich accrue from getting youngsters through a peal as soon as they are ready for it, so don’t be h esitan t if asked to stand in somebody’s first peal of Bob Minor. W hilst on the subject of peals we m ust congratu late all those who have passed milestones in the ir peal ringing careers and m ake particu lar m ention of the following: Mr. C. W. P ipe (500), Mr. G. E. Symonds (450), Mrs. S. R. E. P ipe (275) and Mr. W. J. B utton (250).
The A nnual G eneral M eeting was held a t Ipsw ich and was quite well attended. The service was held in St. M argare t’s.
In addition to the usual tow ers, Rushm ere was also available during the afternoon.
We reg re t to have to record the passing of George B ennett (O tley), George Flem ing (W itnesham ), J . B. P arling (Hales- w orth ), Wm. S tannard (B ury St. Edm unds) and George Wilson (Leiston). O ur sym pathy is extended to th e ir relatives and also to any o thers I m ay have overlooked to m ention by nam e.
A ldeburgh bells w ere augm ented from six to eight during the year. Suffolk is now the richer' by another delightful octave. M any ringers had the opportunity to enjoy these bells both on the dedication day and la te r a t a d istric t meeting.
9
O ur stock of badges has now been sold and the fu rth e r supply ordered during the year has now been received. These are on sale by the D istrict Secretaries a t th ree shillings each. As they w ere not received u n til the end of the year the cost of these w ill appear in the 1962 accounts. This expenditure will absorb th e whole of the increase in balance shown on the general account for 1961.
A t the C entral Council m eeting a t Stoke-on-Trent the Guild w as rep resen ted by M essrs. C. W. P ipe and J. W. Blythe, apologies being received from th e o ther represen tatives.
M ay I th a n k all m em bers for the support th a t they have given during the year and hope th a t 1962 w ill be one of happiness and progress.
JOHN W. BLYTHE, G eneral S ecretary and T reasurer
Other restorations are pending and we hope tha t other towerswill copy their example during 1962.
TECHNICAL ADVISER’S REPORT
D uring 1961 the w rite r subm itted a fu rth e r 18 reports on the contents of our Suffolk church tow ers, bringing th e to ta l to date to 225. Though th is m ay sound qu ite a num ber it is ju st short of half the num ber of churches in the diocese, so there rem ains qu ite a bit m ore w ork to do before they have all been reported on. Of the tow ers inspected in 1961 nine contained rings of bells, being those at Cockfield, Monks Eleigh, Old Newton, Cratfield, Coddenham , H itcham , S tow langtoft (4 bells), E arl Soham, St. M ary’s B ury. Of those Cockfield and H itcham are quite unringable due to the bell fram es and bell fittings; a t the form er the fourth , fifth and tenor are cracked. A t C ratfield the tow er is in a very seriously cracked condition and the bells a re unringable because of it.
As a resu lt of the inspection of the ring of five at Old Newton the bells w ere rung in changes for the first tim e it is thought for some 40 years. The treb le is cracked, the second is poor in tone and all w ere ra th e r hard w ork to ring. Monks Eleigh is in need of a new bellfram e and the progressive deterio ration of the going order of these bells is largely a ttrib u tab le to the m ovem ent of the existing one. This was originally designed for four bells and has been m uch modified and w eakened to house six.
A t Coddenham too th e presen t bell fram e of 1742-3 is fa r too flexible. The tow er w alls have been excavated in places to m ake room for it and four of the p its have iron b ar ends which have v ery little rigidity. Two bells, the treble and seventh are cracked in th e ir crowns and w ill need to be recast,
10
A t S tow langtoft the fram e is designed for six bells, pits being left for two trebles. The four existing bells are in quite fa ir order though they have not been touched by a bell-hanger for over 100 years. The bell fram e is not as adequately supported and clam ped down as it ought to be and distorts as the bells swing.
E arl Soham bells w ere overhauled by Days of Eye in 1898 and p u t in a six bell fram e. In 1903 a treble w as added. H ere a leaking tow er roof has affected the th ird and tenor head- stocks and other fittings need attention.
The tow er a t St. M ary’s Church, B ury St. Edm unds, has a num ber of cracks in it a t about the level of th e base of the bell fram e and exam ination has disclosed an unsatisfactory sta te of affairs w hich w ill involve inserting a reinforced concrete girdle a t about th is level. It m ay be convenient a t the sam e tim e to insta ll a new bell fram e to ensure th a t the trouble is com pletely elim inated.
The bells at Eye have been re-hung in the existing bell fram e w hich has been strengthened and m ore adequately supported th an hitherto . The Bededication Service is expected to be in the Spring. In th e year the augm ented bells at Alde- burgh w ere dedicated and the single re-cast bell a t W estleton w as hung in a new tu rre t.
The five bells a t G reat G lem ham are now connected to a chim ing m anual and the change ringing ropes have been removed. W hen last rung in full circles the fram e distorted appreciably and a new one is necessary; un fo rtunate ly the parish felt unable to afford a new one now.
The Diocesan Advisory Com m ittee fo r the Care of Churches has considered bells on a num ber of occasions though a large num ber of facu lty applications have re la ted to repa irs to the fabrics and heating problem s. At our last Guild A nnual G eneral M eeting I did m ention th a t th e Com m ittee had no pow er to ensure th a t churches pu t th e ir bells in o rder; a t the moment, w ith every church being inspected every five years by an approved architect, a g reat deal of trouble is being noted w ith roofs, m asonry, tim berw ork generally, etc., in the church proper, w hich has to be pu t r igh t as a m a tte r of some urgency. Also the problem of the redundan t churches is not finally resolved, m any of these churches a re to be found in E ast Anglia and a num ber w ill have rings of hells.
D uring 1961 the Diocesan A dvisory Com mittee, on which your A dviser serves, approved a new scheme for the re building of O rford C hurch tower, the first stage will be to a level som ew hat below w here the bell fram e will finally be,
11
The four bells a t Tostoek are to be low ered to the ground and then re-hung a t a la te r date w hen funds perm it.
The w riter w as p resen t w hen the C retingham bells w ere rung in changes recently , the bells w ere found to be in quite good order afte r the m ild steel fram e and the fittings had been trea ted and painted. U nfortunately w ith the bells being rung a crack in the centre of the east w all over th e tow er arch into the church opens and shuts to a degree th a t causes concern, and un til the w all can be strengthened at th is point, ringing w ill have to be lim ited.
D uring 1961 your Adviser m ade two B.B.C. Television appearances to explain about bells and ringing to children in the Blue P e te r m agazine program m e.
One of the m ore hopeful signs is the im pending launching of an appeal for the overhaul of the bells and the organ of St. M ary-le-Tower Church, Ipswich. I t will be rem em bered th a t the Guild donated £25 for the w ork on th e bells as long ago as 1956. So it is to be hoped th a t it w ill now not be too long before we have a really first class ring of tw elve in the Diocese.
Your Adviser m ust again record his thanks to Mr. Ronald S tew ard for his considerable assistance during the inspections noted above, and for organising an outing to ring on bells to assess th e ir state.
R. W. M. CLOUSTON
NORTH-WEST D ISTRICT REPORTThere w ere four m eetings held in the d istric t at H orringer,
Elveden, Ixw orth and W est Stow, and eight p ractice meetings, w ith good attendances.
The collections a t ringing m eetings realised £ 4 10s. 5d., for Bell Fund. In the last two years th e re has been an increase of 19 new m em bers, m ostly young people.
We reg re t the passing of W illiam S tannard of the B ury St. Edm unds com pany. He was a good supporter a t m eetings in th e district.
I sincerely th a n k everyone for th e ir support.ARTHUR F. BALLAM, D istrict Secretary
SOUTH-EAST D ISTR IC T REPORTFour q uarte rly m eetings w ere held during the year at

We reg re t to record the death of Mr. Geroge Flem ing, of W itnesham , who w as for so m any years a m em ber of the Suffolk Guild.
I should like to th a n k m em bers for the ir support during th e year.
C. R. LOVETT, D istrict S ecretary
WEST-CENTRAL DISTRICT REPORTThe d istric t has had another good year on the whole, w ith
m eetings held a t S tow m arket, W ickham Skeith, Badw ell Ash and Gt. Ashfield, and R attlesden w ith D rinkstone, w ith an average attendance of 26. It would be very encouraging to see m ore m em bers of th e W est-Central D istrict a ttend the m eetings in th e ir own d istric t. The collections taken for the Suffolk Guild Bell R estoration Fund am ounted to £3 9s. Od.
Four evening m eetings have been held a t Redgrave, Cotton, R ickinghall w ith T hornham M agna, and W etherden. The a ttendance w as only fair. The m em bership again shows a fu rth e r rise to 59, a n e t increase of 10. This figure consists of 48 m em bers and eleven probationers.
May I in closing th a n k th e C hairm an and D istrict Ringing M aster for th e ir support du ring the year and wish the d istric t every success for the fu ture .

Four m eetings w ere held during the year, th ree quarte rly m eetings a t H alesw orth, Leiston and A ldeburgh, and one practice m eeting a t W enhaston and B lythburgh. The average attendance a t the m eetings w as th irty .
T here w ere 18 peals rung during the year. C ongratulations tofDh. Bedford who rang his 100th peal in 1961.
I would like to th an k all the people who have helped me during m y first year as D istric t S ecretary and I hope to have as m uch support during 1962.
MARION E. BRANCH, D istrict Secretary.
SOUTH-WEST DISTRICTMy first year of office, I reg re t to say, has not been a suc
cessful one. We have had four m eetings at P reston St. M ary w ith Monks Eleigh, Polstead, C lare and Stoke-by-N ayland
no
13
(A.G.M .), w ith an average attendance of 25 (16 d istric t members), w hich is not very high considering we have nearly 100 paying m em bers. I sincerely hope we shall be b e tte r supported in 1962.
It is pleasing to know th a t the re are a few live places in the d istrict, bu t how m uch b e tte r it would be if we could m ake the whole area active, which I feel sure we can do if w e w ork together.
I have not found it possible to visit m any district tow ers bu t I am given to understand th a t Sunday service ringing is well m ain ta ined in m ost churches, w hich is the first duty of each m em ber, even so we should like to see m ore of you a t our meetings, w here we enjoy the fellowship of other ringers.
M ay I suggest th ree resolutions for 1962, to rec ru it a new ringer for your tow er, to v isit a neighbouring practice say once a fortn igh t and, dare I say it, to m ake an effort to attend at least one d istric t m eeting and the A nnual G eneral M eeting of the Guild.
EVELYN R. M. CANSDALE, D istrict Secretary
