Thriplow and Foxton ringers have recently started regular group sessions with us. Today, Becca introduced a biscuit tin below the rope, to encourage pulling all the way through!

With so much other ringing going on in Cambridge (and everywhere!) on 6th May for the King's coronation, I thought I'd struggle to get six ringers, and resorted to 'bribery' of prosecco and cakes. I needn't have worried; 24 ringers turned up and rang, plus a 10 year old having his first go, and a baby! It was wonderful to see ringers from Great St Mary's, St Andrew the Great, St Bene't's, St Edwards, St Clement's, and a couple from out of town. New connections were made as we rang call changes and methods together. The refreshments were polished off too.

St Clement's Ringing Centre has acquired a set of 10 handbells thanks to the generosity of Gareth Davies, from whom they are on long term loan. The bells will be a hands-on way of explaining change ringing, both to the general public and to novice ringers. They have already been put to use when Park Street School paid us a visit on the eve of the coronation. The bells were cast by the Codnor foundry in Derbyshire, several decades ago.

It's official! We have been granted 'Teaching Centre' status by the Association of Ringing Teachers. This is also known as a 'Teaching Hub'. It's good to be recognised for the service we provide and the standards we keep.
