With 20 pupils attending our summer school, and having completed Level 1 of Learning the Ropes, we are now turning our attention to placing them with a local Sunday band and supporting them to progress on to Levels 2 and 3.

Anyone who would like to learn more about teaching the stages up to … [Read more...]

A recent article by Alan Pink that appeared in the Ringing World. “What’s the record for the number of bellringers on one train?” One of the learned contributors to this journal may know the answer, but whatever it is, we’re hoping to break it on 29 July!

On Sunday 7th April I was very pleased to join ten of our younger ringers at St Mary Kilburn at what I hope is the first of a regular feature in the Association & Guild’s life. The youngsters came from half a dozen towers and it was really good to meet them and see them in action.
