We use the ‘Learning the Ropes’ scheme to progress learners through the foundations of bellringing and into change ringing. Paula Heaney recently became the first at St Clement’s to achieve Level 4, by ringing a quarter peal of 1260 changes on a ‘working bell’ following a complicated path. Others are not far behind. Who will be our first level 5 (the top level of the scheme) I wonder?
