Because February 7th, 2012 was the bicentennial of the birth of the
English novelist, Charles Dickens, the Ringing Link Committee
decided to base the next Ringing Link on Dickens’ best known
novel, A Christmas Carol, published in 1843. Instead of speaking
of Dickens’ Spirits of the Past, Present and Yet To Come, the
Ringing Link 2014, entitled A Dickens of a Ring, will feature
Christmas music of the Past (pre-19th century), Present (in this
case, the 19th century Victorian Era), and Yet to Come (20th and
21st centuries).
If you are a history buff, you will enjoy all things being planned to
reflect the glorious age of the Victorian Era. Queen Victoria
reigned from 1837-1901 and Dickens wrote extensively throughout
her reign. So what better place to have RL 2014 but at the Victoria
Inn!
From
the
President...
tion of new Directors, the appointment
of officers, and the staffing of committees.
127 days and counting!!
As I write this, that is the number of days
before Tribute: Back to the Future opens
in London. I can hardly wait!
Even though I have attended many bell
festivals, I still look forward to
OGEHR’s festival as if it was the first
time: the anticipation of being in the
middle of that massed sound, looking
forward to greeting my ringing friends,
mini-concerts, the crazy pace, and loads
of fun.
Of course, this year’s event opens with a
concert by the Raleigh Ringers. I have
been lucky enough to see them perform
live on 3 different occasions, once travelling 5 hours there and back in the same
day to hear them in Chautauqua, NY.
Yes, call me crazy (and the other 5
friends I took with me!) Please encourage any of your friends or relatives to get
to that concert: they won’t be sorry. I
know they are very excited about their
Canadian Premiere just as we are thrilled
to be the ones to host it. And the Saturday night Massed Concert is also “notto-be missed”.

Serving on a committee of OGEHR
gives you an opportunity to have a say in
the activities of the organization. The
Nominating Committee will be contacting some people over the next few weeks
to see if they might be interested in becoming involved in new ways. If you
have ideas that you would like to see
implemented (new workshops, Area coffee meetings, OGEHR Facebook page),
let us know. VISIT www.ogehr.ca to
find the list of committees and positions
that are available.
Even if you only have one hour a month,
you can play a role. This is YOUR
organization and we want to include you
and your ideas. Call your Area Representative or any OGEHR Board member
– we look forward to hearing from you.

Notes from the Editor
This is the final time that I get to add a few words to ponder to the pages
of the newsletter. After more than 13 years, I am sorry to have to give up
editing the newsletter. I hope the readers have enjoyed my modest efforts, and I look forward to seeing the new directions that the newsletter
will be taking with someone else at the helm. Thanks for everything.

The INTERNATIONAL MUSIC CAMP Summer School of Fine Arts offers a wide
array of cultural study for children and adults alike. In weekly sessions, students of
all ages gain concentrated knowledge in their particular area of interest. And, while
the camp's name speaks of its foundation in music, it really includes much, much
more. Dance, creative writing, painting, and drawing are only a few of the unique
subject offerings you will discover at IMC. A staff of 150 artist-teachers, internationally noted guest conductors, and outstanding clinicians from the United States,
Canada, and Europe provide instruction to students from around the world.
Campers have the opportunity to work and play with their peers in a challenging and
relaxed setting. Lasting friendships are formed - memories, music, and enough
creative summer magic to last a lifetime.
Harmony resides not only in music. Harmony abounds in the INTERNATIONAL MUSIC
CAMP's natural setting. Beautiful tree-lined paths and brightly colored flowers, help
complement the artistic endeavors of IMC student campers. Located in the unique International Peace Garden straddling the border between the United States and Canada, the
INTERNATIONAL MUSIC CAMP provides a picturesque setting for learning.
