Peal Compositions Committee 2007 Annual Report
The committee currently holds no face to face meetings, but is in regular electronic contact via email.
The committee continues to produce regular pages of compositions for publication in The Ringing World. Selecting (and, at times, soliciting) suitable compositions has resulted in pages which have covered a wide range of methods and complexity as well as special themes, e.g. Queen's 80th birthday. Pages have been published at a healthy rate of approximately one per month.
In addition this year we have begun to produce Quarter Peal pages in response to requests from several parties. These have been generally well received and will continue to appear on an occasional basis.
The committee also continues work on several new print collections. The Stedman Caters and Cinques collection and Handbell collection are nearing completion. Work on a new Spliced Minor Collection continues with the aim of bringing together old and new material in one volume.
The on-line collection currently contains over 7,000 peal compositions, and continues to be frequently consulted by a wide variety of users. It can be visited through the committee's web page at
