Dear Sir.- In accordance with the Decisions of the Central Council (Handbook. p. 26), I have to report the following unanimous decisions of the Methods Committee:
(1) The methods rung as Durham Surprise Major, Royal and Maximus are not acceptable extensions of Durham Surprise Minor.
(2) The Royal and Maximus are acceptable extensions of the Major.
(3) One new name should be given to the Major, Royal and Maximus by the Leicester Diocesan Guild.- Yours faithfully,
C. KENNETH LEWIS,
Convener,
Methods Committee.
Dear Sir.- May I confirm the findings of my fellow committee members on the subject of Durham Surprise and at the same time point out that they were not members of the committee at the time the Report on Extension was prepared, but have reached their obvious command of it by study and application. Verb. sap.- Yours faithfully,
C. KENNETH LEWIS.
Altrincham.
