| Beverley and District Society | The society was formed when it was realised that in the aftermath of the wartime ban on ringing, individual towers had too few experienced ringers to give the necessary tuition and encouragement to learners in the art of change ringing. The inaugural meeting was held on the 19th August 1946 in the vestry of Holy Trinity Church, Hull (now Hull Minster) with 11 towers represented and letters of support from 3 others. George F. Williams chaired the meeting and was elected President, Clement Glenn was elected Ringing Master and Albert E. Sellers, Secretary and Treasurer. The Society was formed after the Second World War in the response to a shortage of ringers following a ban on the ringing of church bells during the greater part of the War. At the time the bells were to be used as a sign of evasion if it had occurred. Albert E. Sellers wrote to 21 local towers stating 'There is not sufficient number of experienced ringers in any one tower in the area to give the necessary tuition and encouragement to learners in the art of change ringing'. It invited representatives from these towers to a meeting to discuss the possible formation of a District Society. The meeting was held on the 19th August 1946 in the vestry of Holy Trinity Church, Hull with representatives from eleven towers attending and letters of support from three others. Clement Glen and Clement Robinson proposed and seconded the formation of the Society. founded 1946 | 1946 | | https://bnd.org.uk/ |
