Last Saturday, 28th June, an Association of Ringing Teachers course was run at Ardleigh. This was an ‘M2F’ course which gives lots of ideas to take a learner through their Foundation Skills, and introduces ways to motivate and organise a band.
As one student said, “As ever these things are designed to be educational and fun and I think it hit the brief on both counts.”
We had a lovely picnic lunch in the church yard and enjoyed the refurbed bells – even getting a chance to ring the new ten at the end of the day.
Thanks to David Culham for arranging for us to come to Ardleigh and David Sparling for running the day.
