yes Old North practice, yes picnic on Monday at the Advent

[Laura Dickerson <lauradi rcn com>]

   We have decided to have Saturday practice at Old North despite the 
number of people out of town and the busy weekend.  We'll probably end 
early.  I hope we'll have a couple of people for
handling lessons, plus a lot of rounds and hunting on small numbers.
     We'll gather at the Brimmer Street entrance  for the potluck 
picnic at the Advent at about 7:15, eating in the garden if the weather 
is nice, in the parish hall otherwise.  This is also open to non-ringing 
friends and family members and handbell ringers (if you're not having 
Monday night practice).  In other words, it's not just for people who 
are participating in the 1812.  If you want to come but will arrive 
late, call me on my cell phone or let us know in advance when to check 
the door.
      If you are one of the undecided or last-minute people about any 
of the events, feel free to just turn up.  I'd like to have more people 
at ON on Monday than we currently have, but not at the expense of
service ringing or the 1812.
      Sorry for all the emails.  I'll try to avoid stuffing your inbox 
for a couple of weeks until it's time to start arranging carpools to 
Groton (reminder: July 30th).
