[Bell Historians] CCC Bells & Clocks Committee

What is the purpose of this email? If it is to stir up the repetitive debate 
about how members of that committee are appointed (as I suspect) then I'll 
intervene before it starts and request that this subject is not discussed. 
It has been discussed before, and I don't think anything further can 
usefully be said.

I fully appreciate that members of this list may have issues with the 
appointment process, but these should be dirtected through the appropriate 
channels - i.e. through the Council for the Care of Churches. If the matter 
is debated openly it tends to degenerate into a slanging match against the 
present committee and demands for them to explain how they were appointed. 
This is not fair on them and I would request that we do not have a repeat of 
this debate yet again.

Thanks

David
