16/08/2021 It is with regret that this tour has been cancelled.

——————–
Covid-19 prevented the 2020 tour so it was decided to attempt a repeat of the plan for 2021. Unfortunately the ongoing restrictions made it impossible to make any detailed arrangements but in early July enquiries were made to try and establish how towers might react to requests for visits. At the beginning of August we had 5 positive responses and one rejection. There is an indication that more responses might be forthcoming in the 2nd week of August.
I’m proposing that, assuming the event proceeds, we operate some Covid mitigation measures by making use of a CO2 meter that I will supply and that we only have only one band of ringers in a tower at any one time. This will probably increase the time we need at each tower to allow for bands changing (a little like striking competitions).
With very little time to prepare it would be useful to have some indications from members of how many might attend and what your expectations might be. So please respond to as many of the questions below as you can (please email richard@majorringer.plus.com ).
- If it can be arranged, do you plan to join the tour (Please indicate if there are any days you cannot join) [Please make it clear if you are indicating for more than one person]?
- If we cannot get enough towers would you come on a truncated tour (say Friday and Saturday)?
- We may need to accept some local Covid rules. Are there any other rules that you think we should apply?
- Any other issues?
Please respond as soon as possible to allow maximum planning time, with final cut off next Wednesdy 11th August.
Let’s hope that we can get together this Summer.
The Society was first proposed during Freshers week in 1971 so the 50th Anniversary falls this September although we do not have a precise date. I would like to suggest that as many as can meet up locally to ring Peals or Quarters this September,
Best wishes,
Richard Major
