Acronyms and abbreviations: ANZAB Australian & New Zealand Assoc of Bellringers; AGM Annual General Meeting; Assoc Association; ART Association of Ringing Teachers; B Bob; BR bell ringers; CA County Association; CC Central Council; contrib contributor; D Delight; DA Diocesan Association; DG Diocesan Guild; obit obituary; QP quarter peal; quarters quarter peals; RW Ringing World; S or ST Saint; S Surprise; TB Treble Bob; TP Treble Place.

Filing orders: Mc filed as Mac; St filed as Saint. Letter writers are indexed under the main heading ‘letters’; names of individual CC Committees e.g. Public Relations Committee are indexed under the main heading ‘Central Council Committees’.

Locators: bold locators are used where appropriate to indicate the most significant reference(s) or front page articles; italics are used for photographs and illustrations, though these are only distinguished where they form a significant subject in themselves rather than as part of the article; the suffix (let) is used for letters; the suffix (eds) is used for editorials.

Pagination: Due to a printing error on the 1st June edition there is an overlap of page numbers 513-516 with the previous week’s edition. To distinguish between these in the index, the qualifier (1st Jun) is used.
