A Report on the current state of developing trends in bell ringing and recommendations
to the Central Council on how it might respond to these developments.
In 2000, the Central Council meeting, at Bury St. Edmund's, adopted the following resolution:
That the Administrative Committee should set up a working group (1) to ascertain the current
state of ringing and the developing trends; and (2) to give their views on likely future
developments and how the Council and ringing associations might deal with these developments.
This reports the work, conclusions and recommendations of the working group. There are twelve
recommendations covering historic records, training, recruitment and training of young people,
Church and Clergy, installations, and the image of ringing and ringers.
