Tower & Belfry Courses
We provide towers and ringers with self-help information on all aspects of tower and rope maintenance and the potential for minor improvements. We normally aim to hold three or four Guild courses a year at locations across the Diocese (Oxon, Berks & Bucks) and we particularly welcome offers of venues for courses! We also like to assist Branches to run their own local courses if they can provide a venue with all the “domestics” and assemble the students.
Course topics include:
-
- Rope splicing and rope management
-
- Introduction to towers & belfries, common components and issues: wheels, clappers, pulleys, rope bosses, rope guides, bearings, headstocks etc
- Rope splicing and rope management
-
-
- Detailed belfry courses with hands-on experience up the tower
