A very Happy New Year Everyone,
The Noughties are over and the general consensus of opinion is that the decade was full to say the least. By the way I do hope we do not call the next decade the teenies!!!
The Christmas festivities are over and I am sure we all made hand bells accessible to the general public during that time. Now we start to think of ourselves and the New Year Birthday Rally will be the first event of the year for us to meet and play bells as a region. I hope to see you there.
I must also remind you all to send in your applications for the AGM Rally in March 2010. If you have lost your forms please let me know. The venue will be in Redhill . Any nominations for committee members must also be with the SER Secretary soon.
Next year it is the turn of SERegion to host the National Rally Weekend event. We have started to plan this and the venue in Royal Holloway College, Bagshot is already reserved. These events take a great deal of organising and we are lucky to have Martin Winter leading the organising group. You know what I am going to add now! More help is needed. Please let us know if you and or your team can help in any way.
This year we have the greatest numbers of ringers playing in SERBO. We hope we will make the best music and that you will all come along to support us and enjoy the result.
Some members of SERegion are planning to attend the International Symposium to be held in Japan later this year. For those who will not be able to go there – too hot, too expensive, too far etc – There will be an opportunity to attend this year’s UK Bronze. This is lead by Fred Gramman and is an occasion to stretch and improve our ringing skills. It will be in Sutton, Surrey which places it in the heart of SERegion – accessible to all.
I close by wishing you all a happy, peaceful 2010 full of what we all like best - hand bell ringing
