Thank you!!

I agree that this is an indicator that it would be good to do a broader check sometime soon that nothing else is working loose.

If we don't have one already, we should start a log book (online or physical) to keep track of what has happened in the past, and what maintenance or checks have been performed recently. In my experience, many bells require virtually no attention, and a small number of bells end up having recurring problems.

Elaine and I went up yesterday to tighten it down, so things should be okay.
See you tonight!

I am unlikely to be able to help. However, I would point out that:
A. This is unlikely to be contagious. We should check the other berries but this isn't urgent.
B. Almost anyone should be able to tighten the but back up. Just make sure the wrench fits snuggly, and tighten with full strength with one arm, or both arms if you consider yourself a 120 lb weakling.

Please nobody raise the bells on Wednesday until a steeple keeper has a
chance to investigate.
The nut on the clapper pin of the 5 had worked it's way loose by about an
inch.
It should be tightened down and the rest of the bells should be checked for
that symptom (and possibly others?) too, lest we send any clappers flying.

Greg/Elaine, are either of you available by then? Delegation with adequate
instructions could possibly suffice.

See you then,
Austin
