Who does bell ringing?

Bell ringing is done by such a wide variety of people that is would be impossible give the characteristics of a 'normal' bell ringer.

The point about bell ringing is though,is that it really is open to everyone. Ringers do need to be over the age of about 10 or 11 but that means everyone is else welcome to try their hand. And for those not quite old enough, many places offer handbell ringing too.

It is commonly said that anyone who can ride a bike can bell ringing. And predominantly thats true. You don't have to be strong to be a ringer, its the technique that makes it happen, you don't have to be mathematical or musical but if you are then thats even better, you can be of any faith or not religious at all, and whether you 18 or 80 you can become a bell ringer.

So you can become a bell ringer, and you should - its alot of fun! It has no nasty environmental effects, it challenges you to use your brain and keeps you fit. You can join a huge group of friends, have a learning experience that is as hard and as lengthly as you choose, preserve a tradition and ancient skill and above all have a good time!!
