Hey folks!

First: Sunday Services are experimenting with a new time, starting at 10am instead of 11. This is just a test, at least until September, and then they will reconsider. For the time being, I think we should plan to continue ringing at ON at noon on Sundays, with the knowledge that services will be fully out by then. If they decide to continue with the earlier time, we may want to see if we can get to ON earlier on Sundays, although 11:30 seems like probably the earliest we could do as a group. Thoughts?

Second: For those of you who haven't seen, there have been some updates to the Old North ringing chamber:

*The television has now been mounted to the wall, apparently above the clock. I look forward to seeing it on Saturday and hopefully it will not be in the way up there.

*There are two Ikea cabinet/bookshelves that have been installed.

*They have installed an AC to cool things down for tourists. It works...a little bit? It also blocks up one of the windows (they designed a foam thing to hold the heat-vent in place?) but I've received permission from Chelsea to open the other window during practices. We may want to bring the CO2 monitor over and check if it's badly affecting the levels in there, but hopefully this will just be for a few weeks, and then we can take it down in September when it gets cooler.
