You may be interested to see my latest blog: Central Council Blog

I was quite sad to find out at the Wellesbourne conference last week how little many ringers (especially the younger ones) knew about the Council and what it does for ringing. I have been trying to visit many associations to try to spread the word about our work, but I do appreciate that not many association members seem to go to association meetings! I firmly believe that one of your key roles as CC members is to tell those who have elected you what the Council does for ringers and in particularly what you do to help the Council in those areas.

If you struggle to reach your members as much as I do I wonder if you would find it helpful to circulate my blog to your associations in whatever way you circulate other electronic information, perhaps by email lists by district or branch etc. Or you might like to use some of it for your own communication in that way. I really do wish ringers in general, and younger ringers in particular, were more aware that there is a Central Council working for them, that there is so much useful information on our website and that there are opportunities for them to work with us if they cared to stand for election as members.

If you don’t think your members would be interested to see my blog it would be really helpful if you could let me know what else I could include to make it more interesting to them please – thanks so much!

All very warmest wishes,

Kate
