President’s Blog – Mid May 2023

Saturday 20th May was a historical day down at Helston. Bob and his team did an excellent job hosting the event and I was rather pleased there was greater attendance than in previous years. I would like to wish Bob all the best with his recovery after his shoulder operation. I never had imagined in my ringing career that I would be elected President of the TDGR. I would to thank San Nankervis for keeping ringers in touch during his time as President, partially as this was affected by the COVID pandemic.

As far as I’m aware, I am now only the second Eastern District member to be elected to the position of President. The picture below was taken at Callington during Service ringing with Dick Mitchell looking on in the background!

The first week has been quite busy with The Badge (not worn I hasten to add!) attending 6 pieces of ringing so that members can have a close up look.

At the St Dominic practice on Wednesday we were joined by the Liskeard band who bought out celebratory nibbles and drinks – much enjoyed by everyone, thanks all!

Anyway, back to business, I have been asked to present a new member certificate this week so let see what happens after that…………

Keep ringing!
