Ringing Centres Committee
The Ringing Centres Committee was formed in 1993 to support existing ringing
centres and to encourage the creation of new ringing centres. More recently
the Committee has administered the allocation of a £50,000 benefice given
by The Worshipful Company of Founders to assist in the setting up of ringing
centres. To date there are in excess of 40 ringing centres of which over 30
have received a grant from the Worshipful Company of Founders benefice.

Current activities
Currently the Committee's work consists mainly of promoting the
setting up of ringing centres and formally recognising those who meet its
standards. Increasingly the Committee is becoming orientated towards
supporting ringing centres in their activities.
The Committee oversees the awarding of an annual prize, provided by the
Worshipful Company of Founders, for the ringing centre which is judged to
make the greatest contribution to the teaching of ringing during the year.
The Committee is also managing the introduction of a new £500 prize, also
provided by the Worshipful Company of Founders, for the encouragement of
young people in ringing.
The Committee works closely with the
Education Committee to create new ways of
training the ringers of the future.
