RE: Question: discount for enthusiastic parishioners?

["Perry, Cally D." <CPerry OneBeacon com>]

  I believe we have the official policy that no one should ever not 
have ringing at their wedding because they can't afford it, and that 
we theoretically put that in writing when the church first asked us 
to raise our embarrassingly low rates. I think that means we offer 
discounts freely.

  I think we don't charge ringers for wedding ringing at all, well, 
except for peal fees and the like.

  How about the plan where we tell her we don't charge ringers, and 
get her not only to watch but to have a pull on Sunday in order to 
qualify?

    It turns out that the couple getting married on October 11th at Old 
North are parishioners and already like the bells (as opposed to the 
fairly common ON wedding which is people from elsewhere who like the 
idea of having bells as part of the package but haven't actually heard 
change ringing).  I think it might be a nice gesture to reduce our fee, 
giving a parishioner discount.  We'll have enough money from the wedding

this Sunday (I already have the check) to pay people who ask for it on 
both days.  Is this OK with everybody?   Also, useful information for 
the  people who are ringing for this wedding  (on the 11th) - they are 
having a full service including communion, so the ringing will start and

end later than usual. 
    There's a possibility that the bride-to-be will come up to watch the

ringing on Sunday.
