Apologies had been received from Richard Angrave, Richard Barnett and Mike Lawton.
Welcome to new members – Chris Idle (Treasurer) was introduced; GF informed the meeting
that Richard Angrave had been co-opted by the Peak District to be their representative.
Item for discussion –
At the AGM there had been a query about election of members and them being seconded by
District Ringing Masters or their appointed deputy. It was agreed that the requirement for
membership was to ring rounds safely (unaided). It was suggested that if the potential new
member was unable to attend a district event or the District Ringing Master unable to visit
the new member at their home tower a video of the potential member ringing be sent to the
Ringing Master who would then be able to second their nomination. This video must be
deleted at the earliest opportunity.
Safeguarding – CT lead this discussion there has been long and protracted discussion with
the Diocese by CT and Janet Foulds. The proposed document had been circulated in
advance to the Management Committee and all had made comments and observations. CT
was grateful for these and had another meeting to try and sort a document which was
acceptable to all. It was particularly felt unworkable have all members and potential ringers
were required to undertake foundation training.
