There’s nothing more inspiring or motivating than meeting other ringers at your level and learning together, especially when you’ve got some inspirational and experienced teachers to guide you.
Ringing Teachers in East Anglia wanted to put a day together celebrating the fascinating art of ringing, as well as providing the opportunity to attend focused sessions building the early skills of ringing – known as foundation skills – which you need to acquire for successful change ringing.
When you register, you can select optional sessions which are:
The Mancroft Ringing Discovery Centre will be open between 12.15 and 13.45 for general ringing.
A day ticket will enable you to ring on a mini ring, learn how to splice a rope, find out all about simulators and listen to a fascinating talk entitled The Business of Bellringing given in the newly refurbished and historic ringing room of St Peter Mancroft.
At the end of the day, it is hoped to have four city centre towers open for general ringing.
The £5 basic ticket is ideal for any ringers from your tower who just want to come along for the day and enjoy the atmosphere but who don’t want to attend the optional workshop sessions.
You can add one of the optonal am or pm workshops, (an additional £5 each) to your ticket when you register.
Throughout the day, there will be a chance to browse the bookstall and order Learning the Ropes clothing.
Arrangements for lunch are still being made - expect an email from the organisers when they are finalised.
