Some information

for people who are not (yet) ringers

Ringing Church Bells is definitely a different hobby

What other hobby interest:
  • can be followed from nine to ninety-years-old on equal terms,
  • provides friendship throughout the country wherever there is a bell tower,
  • and also in many places around the world
  • promotes mental and physical health and exercise,
  • costs nothing, and
  • gives a service to the church and the community?

RING-in-2000 The Millennium has done a great deal to raise the profile of ringing among the general public.The bell ringers of Britain (and abroad) set themselves the target of trying to ring all the bells on January 1st to celebrate the arrival of the year 2000. Up a tower was definitely THE place to be as 2000 ticked in. On New Year's Day, Radio 4 had much bell ringing going on throughout their transmission with interesting tit-bits of information.
