It is with great sadness that we record the death at the weekend of Sharon Bryan, ringer at St Mary’s Clifton and Corpus Christi, Clifton, Nottingham. Sharon was Secretary to the South Notts District from February 2012 to January 2017.
Our thoughts and condolences go to her husband Austin, Tower Captain at St Mary’s Clifton, and to her family. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her within the ringing community.
The Central Council weekend this year is in Nottingham, there are lots of exciting events to get involved with.
Check out the website https://roadshow.cccbr.org.uk/ for full details, which include:
Robert Wilson’s funeral will take place at Ossington Parish Church, family and close invited friends only. (Ossington Church is a very small Estate church and would not cope with the expected numbers of mourners.)
At 1PM on Tuesday the 29th March 2022 there will be a memorial service held at Newark Parish Church and afterwards in Newark Town Hall.
Everyone is welcome to celebrate the life of Robert, a man who’s devotion to ringing surpasses all levels. There will be ringing from 12:15PM on the ten bells of St Mary Magdalene, Newark . Rounds and Call Changes only and open to all ringers. (For those who have not rung at Newark I should mention the climb up to the ringing room is more than you will be use to so give yourselves plenty of time.)
I’m sorry to post that Robert Wilson passed away on 23 February, 2022. Our thoughts and prayers are with Janet, Margaret and the rest of the family

Dear All
As you all may know, the Government has today given updated advice concerning the spread of COVID-19. As a result, all Guild / District events will unfortunately have to be cancelled or postponed. We will keep an eye on the situation but we do not expect any events to take place for at least 6 or 8 weeks possibly longer. The Crawford Cup final will likely be moved to the autumn. Please keep an eye out for posters, emails, posts on Facebook and website updates telling you when things are starting up again.
As a Guild, we are not giving advice on how individual churches deal with practices, service ringing or visiting bands but hope the tower officers will discuss with the church and take appropriate steps and that ringers will all stay safe and well through this difficult period.
Don’t forget ringing apps and books so that you can retain & develop your skills during this enforced break in practical sessions.
Look after yourselves and each other
All best wishes
Jim
