Janet Coles, our new Guild Secretary

Janet Coles was elected at the recent Guild AGM.Although Janet will be well-known to many of the Guild members, she kindly agreed to provide a few biographical details to put the record straight as it were.

Janet learned to ring at Sidbury and Sidmouth and was elected to the Guiuld in 1982.She says she rang on and off during her teenage years and returned to ringing with a vengeance at the end of 1991.Since then, she has gone on to ring over 50 peals and almost 1700 quarter peals.

After joining the band of St Mark's Exeter she held the post of Exeter Branch Ringing Master and Guild Committee representative.She was elected to the Cumberlands in 2003.

After a couple of years as an unattached member of Exeter Branch she is back in the fold of St Mark's, where she was one of the main support team who helped raise £25k for the augmentation of St Mark's to 10 bells.She rings there every Sunday, and says 'for the first time in my life I have come out of my comfort zone and am helping to teach 4 youngsters to learn to ring at St Mark's'.

She looks forward to meeting the challenge of Guild Secretary, and thanks members in advance for their support, particularly in the early stages.

A 'THANK YOU' FROM THE FORMER GUILD SECRETARY

Now that I have finally stepped down as general secretary and delivered several large boxes of Guild paperwork into the safe hands of Janet, my successor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the membership for the lovely gifts of flowers and a watercolour print of Exeter Cathedral.
