Thursday evening Channel 5 News aired a segment featuring ringers in Scotland aimed at recruitment in time for ringing for the King Charles III’s coronation next May. An excellent piece can be viewed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPpxfMIkKWo Thank you and well done to everyone in Edinburgh.

There are more nationwide (UK) TV filming sessions being arranged featuring ringers in Ireland and various parts of England. Wales will be featured in another Radio 4 programme airing on Sunday morning between 7.10-8am.

“Ring for the King” is started to take shape. The Public Relations Workgroup are putting together materials to help with publicity and recruitment. If you’re looking to get started now, there are already resources available to support you at https://cccbr.org.uk/resources/publicity-material/ We’ll let you know when there’s more.
