There are a number of items which can be borrowed from the Guild to help with tower open days, talks to the community etc. These are listed below:
Miniring
A very light ring of 6 bells, named the ‘Frank Mack Miniring’, in a moveable frame. Ideal for demonstrating full circle ringing – rounds, call changes, methods – and also for the public to have a go on. Needs a sizeable car to transport and a while to set up. Please complete the form for loan approval. Available from Frank Mack Portable Ring Contact.
