Please contact Neil Jones, KCACR Training Officer  to discuss your training needs, ART course requirements or queries that you may have about learning to ring, improving your
ringing abilities or learning to teach ringing.

There is an ART M1 Teaching Bell-Handling course at Westgate on Sea on 6th June.  Details at https://events.bellringing.org/en/events/module-1/teaching-course-module-1-st-saviour-s-westgate-on-sea-kent. Places usually get booked quickly so don’t delay if you would like to attend.  KCACR Treasurer will even reimburse a member’s course fee, if requested.

The following Ringing hubs welcome any aspiring ringer or improver, as well as learner teachers to hone their skills in a supportive environment. We aim to build your confidence in whichever area you need assistance with. This could be anything from handling problems, raising & lowering techniques, improving bell control through fun exercises to ringing of rounds, call changes, plain hunt and first methods. Spaces can be limited to ensure sufficient teacher support is available to help you so early booking is advisable. Please also advise us of your learning needs so that sessions can be tailored to suit. For any questions about the hubs, contact Sue Bassett

Attendance at these hubs is by request to the organiser. Please check first!
