Hello Essex Member,
We have a lot of Association Training happening over the next six weeks and we need your help.
First, on the Training Day of Saturday November 28th we could do with a few more helpers at courses throughout the county and at various levels. In particular, some doubles method ringers, some major method ringers and some energetic people who could raise and lower in peal even if just for half a day (to spread the load).
If you are free we can match your ability and location to a convenient course but without a few more helpers we will be struggling.
Please respond on this email with your name, contact details, home tower, and ringing ability so I can place you.

Calling touches – women only!
We have had one person drop out of this course so a ticket is available on this course on November 14th – this is the course description:
Here’s a chance to learn some touches and practise calling them surrounded by a supportive team. Our aim will be to get you comfortable to attempt to call a quarter peal, finding out how to read conducting notation and understand calling positions.
The group will be given a range of good touches to have in your repertoire, short practice-night touches, and touches called from lighter bells.
There is a strong gender bias towards men in calling, so let’s try to buck that trend!
If you fit the criteria and would like to join us at Braintree, (cost £10) register here: https://events.humanitix.com/calling-touches-women-only

All the details and criteria are here: https://events.bellringing.org/en/events/courses/teaching-course-module-2f-holy-cross-felsted-essex
The cost is £35 with a £5 local donation for refreshments and a pub lunch will be arranged. If you’d like to join the course but the cost is prohibitive for you, please contact me as a grant can be applied for.

Many thanks, look forward to hearing from you,
Beth
