quarters on May 19th?

[Laura Dickerson <lauradi erols com>]

   I  enjoy being part of events that involve lots of people.  There is 
a project to put bells into St Magnus Church in London.

I've never been in that church and I'm not a member of any of the 
sponsoring organizations (although I think "The Worshipful Company of 
Plumbers" is a wonderful name),
but I'd like to participate.  On the weekend that includes May 19th, 
many of the other London churches will be hosting sponsored peals, with 
the proceeds going towards
the fund.  I don't think we have a likely peal band around here,  but we 
could still participate from afar by ringing quarters.   We've reserved 
the bells at the Advent for a quarter attempt that afternoon, and the 
morning is on Mish's list of possible Old North quarter attempts. Two 
quarters in one day (with practice and lunch in between) would  be a 
good thing. A  few other people around here have expressed an interest 
(either out of solidarity with the cause or to humor me) and it's really 
time to get bands together. 
Instead of the usual quarter fee, I'm suggesting $5.00 per rope, more if 
people want to donate.  I'll deal with turning it into pounds and 
getting it to the right person.
   Please let me know if you're interested (or could be cajoled into it).
