learning to be a bellringer

This is me (second from right) learning bellringing at Christ Church Cathedral! The conductor is to my right and he is giving the call changes to the 6 bellringers. Two other bellringers are off camera further along to my right. I believe I'm following the second bell (that you can't see) most of the time. It's good to watch myself and see how my technique is. You think you are doing one thing in your head but viewing it is quite different.

The clashing of the bells is me too. Everyone else knows what they are doing but I'm a novice and have to work on my timing. It's all a work in progress.
