Bell ringing: Good exercise for mind and body!
Come and learn to ring Clapham’s bells with us! Clapham Bell Ringers are a friendly bunch and we’re looking out for new recruits.
Almost everyone can learn to ring, and you don't need to be good at maths or music. Bell ringing is suitable for age 12+ and we’d particularly like to recruit a few teenagers who can learn to ring together. We’d also welcome their parents to learn alongside them.
Bell ringing is an excellent all-weather year-round activity which can fit in around school, work, family and other hobbies, and is a great team and social activity.
Clapham has two ringers who are able to provide tuition. The Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers (YACR) has validated the teaching methods used by Stuart and Annabel, who are also up-to-date in safeguarding training.
You will be able to access a global network of friends and learn a new lifelong skill. So come and join us at Clapham church!
Contact our secretary Annabel Preston on 07933 761107 or [email protected] for more information, or come up the tower on a Monday night to see what's going on.
