2008 Association Training Conference
Are you one of those people who can glance at a blue line, and then ring a touch in a new method faultlessly? If so, I need you to come along and tell the rest of us how you do it! If not (and even if no such prodigies are forthcoming), then I hope that help from those of us who still have to work at learning methods, but have picked up a few good techniques along the way can help you. Details can be found here.
2007 Association Training Conference
Listening is an essential ringing skill, and this very popular one day course explores why many people find it hard to develop. The Association will be hosting the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, Education Committee course on Listening Skills. Details can be found here.
2006 Association Training Conference
This year's conference, we used the same format to explore how to teach the skills which are needed for change ringing, once bell control has been mastered.
2005 Association Training Conference
Every tower needs a conductor. On that basis, every practising tower in the Association should send someone - either with experience, to share ideas, or to take on the important task of conducting. Want to know more?
2004 Association Training Conference
You may think that a day on teaching bell handling is just for a restricted group of reasonably competent ringers, who are about to move on to teaching, either through force of circumstances, or through natural inclination.
Think again!
This Training Day will not be a "them & us" course. I need everyone, from novices through to experts in teaching, to share and develop best practice. There will be a structure, so that any novice should go away with one way to start teaching, and the confidence to have a go.
