<DIV><BR><SPAN class=251505216-21012008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

position are as follows:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

class=251505216-21012008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>"1. From the
material damage point of view, if the bells are left in the 'up' position
and a fire actually gets up into the tower above the bells, then debris
will fall down into the bells themselves, rather than just bounce off them and
fall to the ground.</FONT> </SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=251505216-21012008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>"Then, the weight of the debris and the bells combined could cause
serious damage not only to the bells but also potentially damage the bell
frame, if not to the structure of the tower itself, and bearing in mind that
you have quite a lot of bells then it could prove a real danger to the
structure of your church."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=251505216-21012008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
sounds like the idea of someone who has no idea of what it is like in a bell
tower - and the last paragraph describes such a disasterous scenario that the
bells being up or down would have little bearing on the matter.
