Ringing Forums

The Central Council has not organised courses on maintenance or rope splicing recently. However, many ringing societies do provide such courses so i suggest that you contact your local Guild / Association.

For example we are running such a course in the Peterborough Guild which is proving very popular

Your Guild may also have volunteer bell advisors or consultants who will visit and do an inspection and some maintenance with you, showing you what to do at the same time.
The Central Council also has excellent, easy to use, books on the subjects. They are available to order on line and at the Roadshow next weekend (come along or ask your CC rep to buy some for your Guild):

You can find check sheets and other help on the CC website e.g.:

Many thanks for the responses and very grateful for the info
