The Essex Association of Change Ringers   President: The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Chelmsford

Association Bookstall

The Association runs a bookstall, currently looked after by Christina Brewster.  The bookstall attends several Association events, most notably the District ADMs in January and the Essex Course in April.  The Bookstall is run as a service to ringers and to help ringers at all stages of their ringing.  This includes those new to ringing right through to those learning to teach and those responsible for tower maintenance, for example.  

The Association benefits from a small commission on most book sales!  Any surplus is donated to the Recruitment & Training Fund (until 2023 the Bell Restoration Account) (£4,756 has been donated since 2000).   

The bookstall stocks a large number of Central Council publications including Sherbourne Teaching Aids and publications from Steve Coleman, the Whiting Society, The Ringing World, the Association of Ringing Teachers and JNL Ringing Books by Tom Longridge that will complement your learning. The bookstall covers a wide range of subjects covering learning, teaching, bell maintenance, methods and compositions.  Included in the stock of books are:

• ART publications
• Ringing World publications including
• Core Seven and Beyond
• Criblines pocket books
• Little Green Ringing Books
• Little Purple Ringing Books
• Diagrams (2011 blue edition)
• Companion series of five books written by Steve Coleman 
• A Road to Ringing by the Whiting Society – series of four books 
• Sherbourne Teaching Aids (including One-per-Learner Book, Follow-on Book and Ringers Exercise Book) 
• Essex Association related merchandise. 

The bookstall affords members the chance to look at the books before buying and to ensure that the level is appropriate.Look out for the Bookstall at events throughout the year.

If you are interested in a particular publication, send an email to Christina.  She would also be happy to order special requests.  Once available, the network of ringers will soon make sure it finds its way to you.  However, depending on method of delivery postage & packing may have to be added to the cost.  Payment can now be made by electronic bank transfer (please ask for details).
