There will be classes for ringers and directors, lunch, and a reading session.  A multi-session "rookie ringer" track will be offered for new and beginning ringers/directors and those who want a refresher.  Participants in the rookie ringer track will be required to purchase a copy of "Basic Training for Bells" by Venita & Erin MacGorman during registration (or bring your own). The final session of the day will be a reading session for all and will include the music for  Spring Ring 2026. Attendees should bring gloves, bag, water in a closed container, and, if desired, mallets, a notebook/binder, and mat to stand on, all clearly labeled with name and phone number.
