Guild Annual General Meeting.
Saturday 29 June 2002.

The AGM for 2002 was hosted by the South West branch and based in Plympton. The day got off to a good start with open ringing at St Mary's ranging from Rounds and Call Changes through to Stedman Triples and Yorkshire S Major.

The primary school next to the church was our base for the afternoon, and after registration James Clarke (Guild Bells Advisor) kicked the events off with a short talk. The meeting itself followed, with much discussion about the new Devon Ringers' Council, the various competitions and obtaining insurance for Guild members.

The afternoon workshops covered all abilities from Doubles up to Spliced Surprise Major at various towers around the Plymouth area.  There was also a session on handbells (in one of the school classrooms!).

We then moved onto St Andrew's Plymouth, for a short service followed by a buffet supper laid on by the SW branch members. Evening ringing on the recently rehung 10 at St Andrews was well attended, catering for all abilities. Some people then retired to the pub to finish off an excellent day.
