Annual General Meeting 2024

Saturday 15th June, hosted by the Eastern district. 

Eastern District is looking forward to welcoming Ladies Guild ringers to the AGM in June 2024.  For members who will be travelling to the area the day before, we have arranged a couple of events on the Friday we hope you will enjoy.  Any non-ringers with you are very welcome to join us for the service and meals.

Friday 14th June 

• An opportunity to ring a quarter peal in the afternoon  (bookings now closed)

• Social event: 7pm group meal at the Six Bells at Boreham; pre-booking required via AGM form.  An email will be sent round nearer the time to confirm menu choices. 

Saturday 15th June (17/05 - note change to ringing  details as we cannot ring at Danbury)

  • Route A from the North: 10-10.45 Bocking (10); 11.15-12noon  Witham (8) ; 12.30-1.15  Terling (8)

• Lunch: To fit in as much ringing as possible, we haven’t arranged a lunch stop, so you may want to bring something with you to have between towers.  If you would prefer to stop somewhere, local pubs are likely to need to be booked in advance
