Thanks John!

Suggestions here have included:

Short touches of 70 or 700 changes; a regular quarter peal; a slightly generous quarter of 1270; date touches of 1952 or 2022 changes, a peal of 5070, or a long length of 7000.

It would be great to know what forces we have available for this, so please do update the attendance sheet as soon as convenient. I'm also going to add an extra column for a TBC afternoon slot in case we wanted to do one of the longer performances that doesn't fit into service ringing. Please mark your interest in both that and service ringing if you're interested in both. I'll need to confirm availability and times with the church if we want to do something longer.

Thanks!

Dale

For what it's worth, a 1270 of Cambridge minor can be achieved with this (or other) 550 (starting at the snap) followed by an ordinary 720:

Plenty of other possibilities are out there.

Hi all,

We've had the request below from the vicar at Old North. Let's give a
little thought to something we can do to mark the occasion; I'm open to
ringing 70 times, but would prefer to keep well clear of tolling.

Anyway, open to suggestions. I'd like to get back to them with plans, if
any, early next week.

Thanks!

Dale

Dear Dale,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to alert you to a celebration we
will be holding at Old North on Sunday, June 5. Our service will be a
Celebration of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee (as well as Pentecost).

This is the weekend that the festivities will be especially robust in the
UK, and there will be related events here in Boston as well. Later that
afternoon on June 5 there will be a special ceremonial flag raising and
program at the USS Constitution. Both the British Consul General and the
Royal Naval Attache to the United States will be participating in our
service at Old North.

The British Consul General wondered if the ringers might be up for doing
something special. He thought maybe ringing 70 times. I leave that up to
you and the band, but thought you would definitely want to know of our
plans.

I have attached our invitation/announcement in both PDF and JPG, which you
can share with the band and among other friends and colleagues. There is a
hyperlink in the PDF for any who might want to attend and register.

The link is also here: https://rsvp.church/r/ThNRigfN

Feel free to email or call with questions, ideas, concerns, etc.

Best,

Matthew+
