Another sad day for ringing.<br>
<br>
IMHO Mr. Charles Mynors, because of his background, has a
predisposition (is that the right word?) towards preservation. He was
therefore in conflict of interest with the entire case and he should
never have been there. Surely it can be appealed on that alone. (Need
input from our learned leader).<br>
<br>
What concerns me the most is that repairing the old frame is no
guarantee and that it will need to be repaired again at a much sooner
rather than a far distant date. In other words any repair is a waste
of money.<br>
<br>
Bells are hung to be rung and heard. The frame is the means by which
they can be rung. No frame, no bells. Does the public see or hear
the frame? No way. So why this terrible concern for the preservation
of almost-modern frames by EH makes no sense whatsoever.<br>
<br>
One of these days an EH member will be a ringer and will therefore
understand the need for a proper frame.<br>
<br>
Rant over.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
