There is a new e-group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mcaldg_chat) for discussion of 'almost' anything ringing wise.
Please use the original group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mcaldgringers)to make announcements and requests for ringers only.
If you would like to subscribe to either or both of the lists, visit the mcaldgringers and/or the mcaldg_chat web site.
This web site allows you to subscribe to the lists and has an archive of all mail sent to the group.

| | Open Day on Easter Monday, 5th April 2010 |
| |
A Selection of Towers in the Cities of London and Westminster (plus a few others) were open.
Dear All,
We are very pleased to be able to inform you that our efforts on Easter Monday’s Open day have resulted in an incredible result. The monies so far received /notified amount to a staggering £2,677 being raised for the BRF.
With the Gift Aid contribution we are likely to be just short of £3,000 which is and will probably be a record for some time. A statement for publication in the Ringing World is being prepared. If you have not notified
Steve of any monies and or Gift Aid forms still in your possession please do so ASAP.
And this is all due to you, the membership, for providing support as requested, so please give yourselves a huge pat on the back. Formal notification of the outcome to towers, church authorities etc will follow shortly but in the meantime, please forward this great news on with our
grateful thanks to everyone who took part in whatever way.

| | Monthly 12 Bell Practice |
| |
Having been encouraged by the positive reaction to the recent London 12 Bell Striking Competition for the Whitechapel Trophy, it gives me much pleasure to announce that we will be holding a monthly 12 Bell method practice
throughout 2010. These will be on the 2nd Friday of each month starting in January.
All will be held at St Magnus the Martyr from 6.30 to 8.30pm thanks to the support of the Tower Keeper, Dickon Love.
Note that these will not include the ringing of rounds or call changes as has previously been the case.
The expectation is that attendees will be competent on 10 bells (there are plenty of opportunities of ringing on 10 within the Association) and
ideally have done some method ringing on 12 which they wish to develop further.
I do hope that these practices are supported. It's a big step for the
Association and can only happen if the members vote with their feet.

| | New Child Protection Laws from October 2009 |
| |
New legislation for child protection starts becoming law in October 2009.
We all need to know what the law will be, and how, in particular, it affects ringers and ringing.
The good news is that it is less onerous than was originally feared, thanks in part to Chris Mew's conversations with government officials.
He will be presenting a paper on the Child Protection rules at the CCCBR's AGM in May.
A tabulated list of the requirements for various scenarios is available here

| | Ringing and the Law |
| |
The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers wants all ringers to be aware that they do not ring in isolation, but are subject to national and church laws.
The Tower Stewardship Committee of the CCCBR has produced Guidance Notes to five areas in which conflict or problems might arise.
Details of how to access these, and an outline of what they contain, can be found in this CCCBR leaflet .

Following on from comments from some members of the Association, we have removed contact details from the site.
