Top 5 takeaways

  • If you’re an adult in a local ringing association, why not sign up all your young ringers in one go at https://ycra.org.uk 
  • Looking for a new role that will look great on your CV? The YCRA are looking for a membership secretary, get in touch contact@ycra.org.uk 
  • Ask your young ringers what they would like to do and listen – encourage them to conduct, or to lead a practice night and help them to become the tower captains of the future
  • If someone is new to ringing don’t forget to explain tower etiquette to them, it can all be a bit baffling to a newcomer
  • Forget about a quiz, if you need more fun at your next association meeting just wrap up your best ringers in toilet roll
