General Workshop Information:

With over 250 years of combined bell experience, including solo, ensemble, directing, and composing, BOC has a variety of knowledge and experience to share with ringers in your area. Depending on the distance we have to travel to your area, a typical workshop is an all day event with BOC providing a concert in the evening. Registration and a fee is required for the workshop but the concert is free (we generally take a free will offering to help cover our expenses). Ringers attending the workshop may select from a variety of classes.

Some of the possible choices include:
  

  • Beginning Basic Ringing
  • Treble Techniques
  • Bass Techniques
  • Solo & Ensemble Ringing
  • Ringing Musically
  • Ringing & Fitness
  • Rhythm & Team Building
  • Change Ringing
  • Ringing Musically
  • Bell Maintenance

  • AND many more!!

The number of classes offered generally depends on the
number of registrants, facility size, and host preference.
