SPRING, 2024 TRAINING DAY

GOOSNARGH: Saturday, 13th. April.

IMPROVING YOUR ROPESIGHT


AIM OF THE DAY:

Learn to discriminate between the jumble of moving ropes. Rather than worry, 'Who do I follow', come and learn, 'When shall I pull' . Develop a rhythm of pulling. Coordinate pulling with looking. Learn where to look and recognise patterns as you shift attention from one rope to the next. Notice cues given by other ringers. Above all, use ropesight to confirm the decision to pull you have already made by virtue of ringing by rhythm and counting places.

CALL FOR HELPERS

'Helpers', for want of a better term, are experienced ringers, kind enough to attend training days and support the progress of those who are attending to learn.

WE ALWAYS NEED A LOT OF HELPERS to assist even a small number of learners. The ideal arrangement is "one learner per touch". If you have gained a proficiency certificate, please be generous with your time and come along.to support a less experienced ringer. Also, please encourage members of your branch or local band to attend as learners.
