3Rs Best Practice Ideas

Some suggestions on how to put the 3Rs in to practice in your tower - give them a try! See more >>

All of us are ringers for a reason and all of us were taught by people who wanted to see the tradition continue. It’s our turn now. The number of ringers is dwindling and it is our responsibility to do whatever we can to give them a boost and give more people the opportunity to experience the friendship, team work, social life and mental challenges that we have all been lucky enough to be part of.

The 3Rs Committee is made up of representatives from the districts of the Guild. The people below are your 3Rs contacts, for posters, leaflets and advice.
