rather different and so many of you will have to select something
different from the meal request you have previously sent to me.

Charles and Lindsay have arranged a Ring and Ride event in April. It is not intended to be a mad dash, timings should be generous but there will be a schedule to adhere to.
The ride will start and finish in Hungerford, taking in approx 30 miles and visiting four different towers.
If this sounds like fun you can find more information on the Event poster (pdf).
The meeting minutes (pdf) are now available.

An Extraordinary General Meeting of the Old North Berks Branch was held on Sunday, 14th January 2024 at which a proposal to increase the Annual Subscription to the Guild and Branch to £15 was accepted .
This equates to £10 to the Guild (of which £3 is given to the Branch) and £2.50 to go to branch restoration projects. The remaining £2.50 will be used to make donations of £20 to church PCCs to contribute to heating and lighting costs, which have been incurred at branch events other than those held on the usual practice night.
Therefore the annual subscription for Guild and Branch membership will be £15 per member from January 2024 until further notice.
Subscriptions are now due and need to be paid by your tower secretary or treasurer to Stuart Gibson by the end of March latest.
Drayton are hosting the Old North Berks Branch New Year Ringing & Refreshments on Monday, 1st January 2024, from 10:30AM to 12:30PM. All members are very welcome!
