Resources
Student ringing societies have existed for many years, and a wealth of experience and knowledge has built up over that time. This section brings together some of that learning to help support student societies, both now and in the future.
The resources collected here have been developed in response to what university societies told us they would find most helpful. We’d be very pleased to hear from you with ideas, contributions, requests for new content, or anything else that could help improve and expand this collection of resources.
