Ringing Remembers/New Recruits and Friends Reunion
We will be holding a Ringing Remembers and Friends Reunion at the Mancroft Ringing Discovery Centre in Norwich on 4th April, 10am-3pm. A chance for the RR recruits, and also any individuals who have started to ring since November 2018 , to get together and support each other. It will hopefully be a fun day, rather than a heavy training session. Silly games and ART exercises rather than struggling through a method. The aim is for us all to make contacts, renew friendships, see what the MRDC has to offer ringers, and eat a slice or two of cake together. If you are the “only learner” in a tower, it might be good to know that “you are not alone”! We hope that novice ringers from both Norfolk and over the border into Suffolk will want to come along. You do not need to come for the entire day, but there will be a sandwich lunch to buy for those who want to make a day of it or there are lots of cafes and pubs in the immediate vicinity of the centre.
Please let us know if you intend to come (or at least a ballpark figure for your tower, if not individual names), and if anyone would like to bring a cake, it would be much appreciated.
£10 per participant including a welcome pack.

Learning to Ring
Join the ART teachers with Learning the Ropes, this is primarily a Level 1 Bell Handling Session. You are welcome to come on your own or bring your teacher with you too.
During this session we can introduce you to ringing if you've never rung before. Once you can handle your bell we will introduce you to fun exercises that will help you gain confidence and control and start you on your journey into the world of Change Ringing.
If you'd like to join this session to practice ringing on our simulator you are also most welcome. We can help you to get started and offer advice if you've not used the simulator before.

Doubles Day with Andrew and Anna
'Ever hear of Daffodil Doubles? Do you fancy ringing Windrush, Buttercup Doubles, Northrepps, Bluebell or April Day?'
If Plain Bob has become plain and if Grandsire has lost some sparkle then Doubles variations might be your thing! There are a load of variations out there which are great fun, for you and those in your tower.
Start at 9.30pm with plenty of breaks to eat cake and grab a coffee to keep you going. We aim to finish at 4pm.
We have 6 places available to book Cost £10
You need to be confident at ringing touches of PBD, Grandsire and Reverse Canterbury. You MUST be confident with plain bob bobs, grandsire bobs and singles.
