<P>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David Cawley is correct when he says that the
Keltek Trust receives copies of the Pastoral Measure Reports. We find these very
useful as it gives an advance warning of what is happening. We feel that we
cannot act on these though we would like to do so; but in a few cases ringers
contact us to say that they have seen a newspaper report, television news item
or heard from another source that xyz church is closing. We do act on these as
we can prove our actions are not as a result of seeing the PM report. A recent
example is St Bartholomew, Blackburn (Ewood) where we cantacted the
diocesan furnishings officer quoting a newspaper report. It has resulted in the
acquisition of four bells which hopefully will all go to "ringing"
homes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another case is Bacup, St Saviour where the news
about the church closing was published on a ringers chatlist. We have suggested
a possible home in Lancashire for these bells to the Manchester diocese bells
adviser should efforts to relocate them within the diocese fail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An example of where we have been unable to act is
Rimswell in East Yorkshire where we have a PM report but had no independant
information that the church was closing and it now looks like it will be sold
complete with the bell. Incidently we had expected the York diocese bell adviser
would have been informed of the impending closure (as per the terms of the
voluntary code of practice for redundant bells in Yorkshire) but the first he
new of it is when someone contacted him about the proposed sale.</FONT></DIV>
