2011 Annual Report

PRESIDENT'S COMMENT

My first year in office has been a delight in working with fellow members of the committee and meeting ringers round the county.  I guess the highlight of the year was the 100 ringers event at Bakewell to mark 100 years of The Ringing World publication.  It was the involvement of so many people from many towers that do not normally present themselves at district or association events that made this occasion such a memorable one.

I wish to continue the work of encouraging and developing young ringers (the freely available CCCBR videos such as ‘Up the Spiral Staircase’, publicity leaflets and presentations on bells, ringing and methods are excellent resources).  However let us not forget the more mature recruits.  Ringing training has become more effective over recent years so progress can be sufficiently fast to keep people engaged, more so when done in a group, as I witnessed with the new band at Eyam.

2012 is the diamond jubilee year for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Olympic Games.  Hopefully members will mark these events with appropriate local and district dedicated ringing, and publicize these as much as possible with the local radio stations also in papers and parish magazines

Data Protection Act 1998


The provisions of this Act came into force on the 1st March 2000.  Members of the Association and Tower Correspondents (who are not otherwise members) are advised that personal information (including names, addresses, telephone numbers and peal records) is maintained electronically by the Association's officers.  The  
Association is exempt from registration under the Act; however, Members (and Tower Correspondents) are advised that they have a right of access to their data records held by the Association.  A copy of an individual's personal records may be obtained by making a written application to the Association's Membership Secretary, enclosing a statutory fee of £10. Cheques should be made payable to 'The Derby Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers'; the Data Protection Registrar recommends that the application is posted by recorded delivery. Members (and Tower Correspondents) should be aware, however, that (other than that held for accounting purposes) this information is published annually in the Association's report.
