I think you are right about that Andrew. It would be interesting to 
know just how many ringers ARE currently members of SPAB and how many 
of those would actually agree with its official stance on bell 
frames. How does SPAB deal with dissenters in its own ranks I wonder?

Leaving aside the question of its present "fitness for purpose" for 
the moment, perhaps there is a case for the CC seeking "statutory 
consultee" status alongside SPAB and the Victorian Society, EH, etc.
