Framework for Method Ringing
The Framework for Method Ringing is a Standard that provides common language and terminology for describing many aspects of method ringing, including performance reporting. It also contains the Central Council’s requirements for adding new methods to the Central Council’s methods library, for classifying and extending methods, and for record length performances. It is provided to support effective communication within the ringing community and it replaced the Council’s earlier Decisions.
The first version of the framework was approved by the Executive on 24 February 2019 and became effective on 1 June 2019.
