I would particularly like to draw the attention of your members to the following Guild events:
Guild Festival, Saturday 9th July
A poster is on its way to each tower with details of the ringing and service. Do encourage your members to come – it is a wonderful opportunity to worship together and to ring Oxford bells.
Guild AGM, Saturday 21st May
The timetable for this has been circulated – there is something for everyone! Please come to the AGM itself, agenda and papers should be out around mid April.
Ringing Day, Bank Holiday Monday 2nd May
Look out for the detailed itinerary – towers in the Newbury Branch open for the day.
Please also ask any of your members with the relevant skills to consider the following:
Guild Library
Help is needed to trial some digitisation of items in the Guild Library. If you can help, please contact Doug Beaumont, the Librarian, librarian@odg.org.uk, other contact details on the website.
Officer Vacancies
All posts become vacant at the Guild AGM. We know that one of our representatives on the Central Council does not wish to stand again and I am sure any of the current representatives would be happy to have a chat about what it entails.
We also have a vacancy for Public Relations Officer, to promote ringing within the guild and beyond, including press releases. Do try and identify any of your ringers who may have these skills they can offer.
With best wishes for a Happy Easter,
Hilarie
