We encourage bellringing of all standards in the tower, mainly method but also call-changes,

The practice is divided into three sections.

with various striking errors, in and out of method, for you to detect.
2. Similar sorts of challenges will be provided from audio recordings
using the 'Listen To Ringing Live!' CD.
3. Finally a short session of ringing a tower bell through the computer,
integrated with rounds, call changes or method on as many bells as you choose.
Please contact the tower captain
(See Contacts). |
Starter Sessions: |
We also hold special learners/introductory sessions, as and when required, using the simulator. |
Simulator: |
We have a Beltower simulator and a single sensor,
allowing a ringer to practise listening and striking, and to ring challenging methods, on up to 16 bells,
with a perfect band.
It is available for use at normal practices, listening practices, starter sessions
or at any other time, by prior arrangement.
