The latest edition of ARTs newsletter for ringers using the Learning the Ropes programme is no available and makes excellent reading. Here’s a message from Ruth Suggett, Editor of Tower Talk.
Starting out as a new bellringer can feel like stepping into a world full of tradition and a little bit of mystery.
Becoming part of a bellringing team is a journey – one of both individual learning and contribution. Finding ways to contribute to the team will not only enhance your own experience but also strengthen the bond and success of the entire group. For you as an individual, setting small manageable goals, mastering the basics no matter how long that takes, and attending different practices where you will meet different people will all help you to progress. The 50 Ringing Things scheme is a great way of adding to your knowledge and experience.
But it’s important to embrace the team spirit as well, to ensure success is collective as well as individual. Take every opportunity to get involved.
