I would also question whether a one to one mentor is what is needed or whether small group learning sessions, away from ringing time, — Lucy Chandhial
What is out there tends to be either too simple and focussed on learning individual methods (ART) or too complicated for the target audience (W. G. Wilson) — John de Overa

They are federations that can support, sand do some things better done collectively across an area, but with ringing as it is currently organised, ie in tower bands, they societies are still removed from the coal face.That sounds like the expectation might be that the existing associations are going to do the delivery. — John de Overa
I don’t see why it should. That’s a separate question. Even with a DMO action (as opposed to ideas, resources, support, etc) would still be needed at local level.Does that mean that the idea of the CCCBR as a direct membership organisation has been dropped? — John de Overa
a comment against most lines explaining the calculation behind it and details of what the expenditure is for — Jason Carter

the proportion of subs transferred into the BRF can be changed very easily. Also there is case for considering registering the whole society as a charity, where there is then — Roger Booth
