Ringing Forums

I've been trying to encourage the HDGB to get some simple business cards for recruitment, they can easily be carried by a lot of ringers, and we have a few really enthusiastic members who will talk to everybody and anybody about ringing given half a chance. They often have a positive/interested reaction from members of the public, so it would be a really simple way of backing up that initial conversation. The next step is then having a suitable website/landing page for non-ringers, something we are trying to work on, and then, identifying competent teachers of bell-handling.

Hello,

Hereford Diocesan Guild of Bellringers would like to keep in touch, I hope you already have our details.

Thank you, I will take a look at this, very helpful.

Have any territorial associations started to form committees, policies or guidance for churches facing closure? The long term implications for ringing mean church closures are something we should not ignore. I am not overlooking the wider church issues, but trying to focus on what we can do as a guild to support ringers in our area who are facing church closure, as well as the long term care of the bells.
