RW Subscriptions and recommended performance donation

The Ringing World Board would like to wish all BellBoard users a very happy Christmas and inform you that we are pleased to be able to hold Ringing World subscription rates at their current levels for another year.

As presented at the Ringing World AGM in September, donations in 2022 have returned to pre-pandemic levels and, along with the extra ringing activities around the Queen’s Jubilee and Funeral, we have made up some of the financial deficit from the two previous years. We hope that donations will continue at this level into 2023, also taking into account the likely increase in ringing activity surrounding the Coronation of King Charles III.

On the negative side we are already experiencing significant cost increases in everything we produce and this will have an impact on our bottom line. We have noticed that many bands are making performance donations of £1, and in order to continue to repair losses from the last two years £1 will become the recommended donation on BellBoard from the start of 2023.
