2009 AGM:
Well it's over. Decisions made, and 2010 plans set in motion. Finances healthy and a new member added. (any others out there - don't hesitate. Contact us today). The day was cold, wet and generally not very nice, but the ringing and company were superb.

30th Anniversary Peal at SANDON Staffs - 20th June 2009.
ANNIVERSARY DAY
See and Read On ...............
Saturday 27 Jun 2009 – it finally arrived after 30 years. This very date, 30 years ago to the day, the Open University Society of Change Ringers was conceived.
To celebrate the years, a special ringing day was planned, culminating in the evening with a formal dinner with our guests Steve and Sue Coleman. About 18 members attended the splendid Dinner at the Swan Revisited in Newport Pagnall, and there listened to a very amusing speech by our guest speaker, after he had been introduced by our Master, Olav Bradstock.
In attendance too with our current Master were four past Masters – David Belcham, Mary Coe (nee Purvis), Sue Tompsett and Sheila Watts.
A toast was proposed by Olav for the continued success of the Society.
