Hey all,
I'm working up a proposal to bring a mini ring to Boston for Arisia '18 next January. Introducing change ringing to a wider audience, and all that. So I was wondering if anyone could help me with a couple of questions...
1. Has anyone rung Tim Barnes's mini ring (which I believe lives in New Jersey or parts adjacent)? Is it any good? I keep hearing horror stories about mini rings built out of flower pots, though I don't THINK it's one of those...
2. *If* I got this approved by Arisia, would someone potentially be willing and able to put the owner of said mini ring up for a few nights? I mean, I'm hoping we could get Arisia to comp. them a hotel room, but it would be nice to have a backup.
3. Likewise, might we be able to arrange a quarter peal on one our towers while he/she was here? (I emailed Michael Hinton in Toronto for advice on this whole topic, and he suggested that this would be a Good Thing to do.)
