A list of resources for ringers – and those interested…
The Central Council of Church Bellringing (there’s a snappy title!) produced a playlist on YouTube for Covid Lock-down days. It has some 25 different videos about bellringing. It’s probably two or three hours-worth and it looks like a good selection.
You can see them all here.
Methodology is an app for Android phones – it’s not (I think) available on iPhones – but there are similar ones available. It does a great deal more, but my copy is used almost exclusively for looking up the “blue line” for any of a huge selection of different methods. (If your method isn’t in there, you can program it in!) Search the app store for it and install it on your phone.
(The app is written by the Haworth tower captain, Peter Tiley – well known to many of us)
Bellboard is a must-go-to site for ringers. Go to it here – and bookmark it!
Here are listed all the performances (mainly peals and quarter peals) rung across the country – here are a couple of recent notable ones for Kildwick ringers:
George’s first peal A quarter at Kildwick
The Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers. Kildwick ringers are all members of YACR. The tower is in the large Western Branch (actually, bigger and busier than several whole Associations!) and several of our ringers are also active members of another branch, the Yorkshire Tykes. That is the organisation for ringers under 18.
