[Bell Historians] Great Bells of Britain

[Andrew Wilby]

 From the owners point of view (the RW) I suspect they want to produce a 
"Diary and Notebook" that contains as much interesting material as they 
can find to appeal to the widest audience possible.

The Diary is, or was, the biggest annual single selling item in the 
exercise recently selling around 7000 copies a year.

It therefore puts interesting info such as "Great bells" into the hands 
of about one third of the active ringing population 99% of whom would 
never ever see it if it was on a web site. This would only serve to dumb 
down the collective knowledge base further.
