The principles are the same, but each ringer learned one way to another and has picked up different things over the time they have rung. Hope this helped

But practice practice and practice and it gets better 😊

Any time!

Most definitely, watching here has been so helpful. I started ring 18 months ago and like yourself, am thoroughly enjoying it. I also find the series of books written by Steve Coleman, his books are full of invaluable information explained with gentle humour. They make great presents for bellringers.

I recently started reading Steve’s books. I absolutely love them. I actually ordered 2 directly from him and had a very interesting 15 min chat with him.

@@gavinedwards5824 How fortunate you were. I received mine as gifts ( after a few hints to hubby ) we received a hand written complement slip and beautifully wrapped as well. It is lovely when one is able to communicate directly to the author. I have picked up many useful tips that fellow ringers don’t have time to give on the night. Happy ringing.🔔

@@katielain6519 I really enjoy the way he writes and like you have found then extremely useful and informative. Happy ringing to you also.

Thanks for your excellent suggestion. That would require quite a lot of planning to produce and I don't think we're up to that at the moment. If anyone has the expertese and kit, it would be great to hear from them.

Thank you very much @@ringingteachers The easiest way to do this seems to be ringing the front six of a ring of 12. eg the super useful ones put up by Roger Booth kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z52Rhdal3bycgWQ.html Thank you very much again and I am full of admiration for the perfection of the timing by this amazing band.

And this one is also very easy to follow - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZqiRhpN2tM2-fZs.html

⁠@@ringingteachersI was about to make the same comment about having a broader view of proceedings - as a novice I feel it’s essential to be able to gather as much insight as possible (but you already know this, you’re teachers!!). Clearly chamber dimensions are an issue so the first step would be to select a larger chamber in which to video! Secondly, perhaps use another form of camera - this appears to have been filmed on an iPhone which doesn’t have a huge field of view and although the videographer does a great job of keeping the device steady and panning smoothly back & forth, the narrow view is less than ideal. What about a wide angle lens attachment? Not certain if these are available but, since most things are, a little light googling might offer a solution!! And yet despite these minor inconveniences, this is a superb video of some truly excellent ringers performing brilliantly… so thank you for providing this - truly a standard to aspire to!
