I asked whether she was a ringer or knew any and - surprisingly to me - she was not and did not. Her interest in the subject came from reading papers by people like Arthur White, Robin Wilson and Dermot Roaf and that 'it seemed like a good subject for a talk'. I also suggested that there might be interest from some in the ringing community in some collaboration on certain topics, but she declined on the grounds of lack of time (at least for the moment).</p><p><br></p><p>In any case, I think it would be rather fun if a few of us could turn up (virtually) for the talk.</p><p><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Best wishes,</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br>Alex.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(51,51,51);font-family: OpenSans-webfont;font-size: 16.0px;"><br></p></div> </body></html>
