New CCCBR Adviser on Complaints about bells

Details

Published: Tuesday, 02 April 2024 19:02

As we hope that you are aware, the CCCBR aims to help when there are complaints about the noise from bells. Robert Wood has responded to such enquiries for several years and has decided to stand down.

We therefore need to appoint someone to take over this role. The most relevant experience and knowledge will be of UK Environmental Health Legislation i.e. the framework under which complaints about bells are managed.

Would anyone interested in taking on this role, please contact me for further information about what it may involve.

Thank you

Chichester Cathedral has installed rope guides, with the support of a grant from the Sussex County Association of Change Ringers.

The guides have made ringing and teaching at the cathedral so much easier, and all are delighted with the transformation.

Do you know someone who’s making a difference and making things happen? Then don’t be shy. Say thank-you by nominating them for an award, and if they win, they’ll receive a substantial cash prize to spend on a ringing related activity or product.

It doesn’t matter if they are an ART Member or have never even heard of ART, anyone can apply, anyone can be nominated and anyone can win. If you already have someone in mind, then fly over to: https://bellringing.org/art-awards-2024/ and download an application form. You have until 31 December 2023 to get your nomination in, so now is the right time to start collecting quotes, photos, statistics and testimonials, to show just how good your ringing hero is.

We have a new award this year – the Band or Cluster of the Year. Think commitment to improving ringing standards, think building a sustainable future for ringing, think results. A timely addition to the ART Awards portfolio when we’re all concentrating on building the future of ringing.
