I am wondering if people would mind helping me to keep this map up to date.

Meets still need to be organised in All Saints, but if people can post on here when/where a meet occurs, it really would help. At present I am fearing that I am missing some because I don't pick up when they have happened in All Saints before they disappear off the front page. I also don't want to assume every meet is a memorial meet, just because it happens this year.

John Holding and I raised a glass to Erin (of tea, but that counts, doesn't it?) on the evening of January 8 in Ottawa.

OliviaG and I drank beer in her memory in Vancouver on January 12.

Zappa and I clicked glasses in a location north of Auckland NZ on January 17.

Some more of us are meeting in Auckland on the 26th. There will doubtless be more toasts to Erin.

A rusty farm implement made its appearance in Erin's memory.

Up dated the map. If you think there is a meet that ought to be there that isn't, then you need to post on this thread.

The Ancient College of Youths (some of the UK's premier bell-ringers who are ringing their way around Australia at the moment) rang 'Erin' as a special favour to me before the 10am service at St.Saviour's Cathedral in Goulburn, NSW on Feb 20.

It was my first day being attached to the cathedral ministry team, and this was a chance meeting with them as they arrived. Somehow it still feels like the gator is organizing things! [Razz]

A bell added to the map.

Thanks JJ! I expect there'll be another one to add in the UK after St.Simeon's Day [Smile]

And a correction: It was 'The Ancient Society of College Youths' that did the ringing here in Oz. Thanks guys - hope you had fun!
