We have started to give metric as well as imperial figures in the Lancashire Association Annual Report. This is useful in answering the question "How heavy is it?" as opposed to "How easy is it to ring?". Obviously as they are conversions if the imperial figure is an estimate, the metric equivalent won't be accurate to the exact kilogram.
