On Saturday morning we launched this season’s winter Ringing School at Kirtlington, where Old North Berks and Bicester Branches will alternate hosting ringing handling sessions each week until March 2023.
Four learners from Witney and Woodstock Branch and five teachers/mentors from ONB and Bicester attended. As can be expected, the learners’ experience ranged from beginning to put both strokes together to brushing up on specific handling aspects to help ring Plain Hunt and methods effectively.
Debra from Witney commented: ”Dave and I wanted to pass on our thanks to you all for today’s training session. We thought it was fantastic and extremely helpful. We are looking forward to the rest of the course.”
Kirtlington will be hosting a course for learning to teach bell handling on 22nd October. Following this we would expect to be joined by new teachers looking to practice their teaching and working towards accreditation.
If you know anyone who would benefit from attending these sessions as a student or would like to help as a teacher, please get in touch.
