Association Bookstall
The Association runs a bookstall, currently looked after by Christina Brewster, which is at present at most Association events i.e. the Essex Course in April, the Association training day in November as well as at most of the District ADM’s in January. Books are often purchased at discounted prices with any profits going to the Association’s Bell Restoration Account.
The bookstall stocks a large number of Central Council publications as well as others from Sherbourne Teaching Aids, Steve Coleman, the Whiting Society, JNL Ringing Books by Tom Longridge and David Marshall that will complement your learning.
