<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"It has no relevance to change ringing" -
R.Bickerton's remark below. The Diary is The Ringers' Diary - not
merely the change ringers' diary. There is more to ringing than learning a
new method, pulling a rope (or even grabbing a tower). Bells do enter into
it. I tried to share my interest in them inter alia by producing the
revision of the Great Bells list, the only concession to Bell History in
general in the whole, very useful, publication. Ready to hand and useful for
reference, personal interest or even setting a quiz without having
to resort to IT or carry Dove around. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've also tried to share my interest pretty
unreservedly with others: one of them was Richard. Apparently it fell
on stony ground, if his agreement with Mr Bickerton is anything to go
by!</FONT></DIV>
