From what I see, involved with district practices and district training events, older learners can learn just as successfully as younger learners if they want to, have the time for it and enjoy it (and if the opportunities to learn and practice, including talking about how to learn, what to look for or listen for whilst ringing, etc are provided). — Lucy Chandhial
I do wonder if the importance of age is often overstated — John de Overa
83% of ringers want to improve their ringing, which obviously includes older ones. — John de Overa
Whilst there's an understandable focus on youth opportunities I don't think older ringers should be forgotten, as at the moment they are the backbone of most towers, and will be for some considerable time, even if youth recruitment is successful. — John de Overa
We were really pleased with this statistic. It shows that there is considerable energy in the exercise which is one thing we'll need in abundance to ensure the continuation of the art. — Tristan Lockheart
you have to be very dedicated, and it takes a big investment of time both inside the tower and with learning methods in your own time — Charlotte Boyce
Do we believe that? It would imply that only 1 in 6 isn't."83% say they are looking to improve their ringing"
