of 7

Please find below information on the Toronto ringing weekend: 12 bells and Then Some. Note that this information will be updated as details of the weekend are finalized. Please check back closer to the date for final postings and details. Last Updated: March 30, 2014 For questions, contact: [email protected]

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Instead of golf shirts, we’re special ordering zip‐up sweaters / jackets to commemorate the weekend. See below for more details. Please pay particular attention to sizing, as we have noticed the sweaters fit a bit big – i.e. you might need to order a size smaller than you usually do!

2. This weekend is a busy time in Toronto, and accommodations are being booked quickly. See below for more information on options in Toronto, including billeting.

3. Did you know Toronto has a mini‐ring? And, the first in Canada! A ring of 8 bells that we will be setting up at the Cathedral for the ringing weekend.

Schedule Friday, June 27 – start time to be determined

through Sunday, June 29 – end time to be determined Ringing will begin on Friday and will run through Sunday. Start and end times will be determined based on the level of interest and availability indicated on registration forms. If you are coming to town early, Wednesday evening (6pm – 8pm) is our weekly learners practice time, which focuses on bell handling. If you are interested in attending this session, please contact David Wilcox at [email protected]. Ringing Course: There is no ringing course planned at this time. Organization: Ringing will be separated into general ringing sessions and quarter peals.

General Ringing: Each general ringing session will have a particular focus (e.g. rounds & call changes, Plain Bob & Grandsire, Kent & Stedman, Surprise). The detailed schedule will indicate the focus for each general ringing session. Quarter Peals: Time has been allocated for Quarter Peals. These will be pre‐organized and details will be posted in the tower. Bands will be organized based on the information provided in the registration forms. Mini‐Ring: There will be organized sessions on the mini‐ring throughout the weekend, including at the Friday evening social event. A detailed schedule will be provided in the tower.

Accommodation There are several lodging options near the Cathedral. Some options for your consideration:

1. Air BnB https://www.airbnb.ca/ This website connects travellers with rooms and apartments in the city. You can find single rooms for rent, or entire condos / apartments. This is potentially a good option for sharing with a friend, and often offers an affordable solution to staying in the city.

2. Ryerson University http://www.ryerson.ca/conference/accommodations/bookingstay.html In a good location, within walking distance to the Cathedral (two options located near Jarvis and Dundas West), this is an affordable option. ILLC has double rooms with private bathroom and Pitman hall has single rooms, some with private bath. Bookings can be made online or by calling: 416-979-5296

3. Neill‐Wycik Student Co‐op and Hotel http://www.neill‐wycik.com/ In a good location, within walking distance to the Cathedral (96 Gerrard St. East), this is an affordable option. Prices are approximately $100 per night for double occupancy. You can make reservations online (link above) or contact them directly: Toll‐Free: 1‐800‐268‐4358. Local: 416‐977‐2320. Email: hotel@neill‐wycik.com.

4. Chestnut Residence http://www.chestnut.utoronto.ca/Summer_Residence.htm This option is a bit further, and still within walking distance for the seasoned walker, most people would probably prefer to take public transit or a cab to the Cathedral (89 Chestnut St.) You can make reservations online (link above) or contact them directly: Tel: 416.977.0707. Email: [email protected]

5. Holiday Inn Express http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/toronto/yyzls/hoteldetail 111 Lombard Street, Toronto ON Located directly across from the Cathedral, this is the most convenient option. Corporate Rate: Unfortunately, we were not able to get a corporate or group rate due to other activities planned in the city for the same weekend. The regular hotel rate of $180‐$200 per night will therefore apply. Rooms will sell out quickly, so please make arrangements well in advance.

6. Toronto Youth Hostel

http://www.hostellingtoronto.com/2/home.hostel Also located directly across from the Cathedral, this is also a convenient and affordable option (76 Church Street, Toronto, ON M5C 2G1). You can contact them directly at: 416.971.4440 / 1.877.848.8737

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR POLYESTER WICKING FABRICS

Due to the nature of 100% polyester performance fabrics, special care must be taken throughout the printing process. Here are some tips to

• Screen Printing: These garments require the use of poly inks that cures at a lower temperature A Dyno Grey base blocker on all colours and a

p y p , p g p g p peffectively decorate our performance products.

• Garment temperature must not exceed 320°F or 160°C. Exceeding this temperature will cause the fabric to shrink, become wavy or cause dye migration.

• Dryer temperature and belt speeds must be changed accordingly for polyester fabric.

• If flashing these garments, do not exceed 1-2 seconds. Anything longer may damage the fabric as stated above.

• Screen Printing: These garments require the use of poly inks that cures at a lower temperature. A Dyno Grey base blocker on all colours and a second white base blocker on all dark colours are recommended. Please consult your ink supplier for more information.

• Polyester requires a longer cooling time than cotton. Avoid overlap of garments and screen-print/heat transfer until the garments are cooled. Failure to cool the fabric prior to stacking into a printer’s fold may cause the fabric and applied ink to stick together.

• Heat Transfers: Poly mark heat transfers need to be created with an anti-migration layer in the design. This process can only be done on white or very light colour shirts. Inks used in printing paper design needs to be darker than the base fabric or colour will migrate with the fabric colour resulting in a bleeding effect.

• Sublimation Printing: As noted for the poly mark heat transfers, this process can only be done on white or very light colour shirts. Inks used in printing paper design needs to be darker than the base fabric or colour will migrate with the fabric colour resulting in a bleeding effect.

• If you heat press these garments, you must adjust the time, temperature and pressure. Failure to do so may damage the fabric as stated above.

• A test sample run is recommended, especially if you have a large order or if your printer does not specialize in printing on performance fabrics.p , p y y g y p p p g p
