Explaining to a non-ringer how a bell works is more difficult than you think. It can prove a real test of how well you know how everything ‘upstairs’ works.

There are a number of different props you can use to help get over the principles involved – diagrams, videos, a model bell or if your bells are accessible, you could even take the non-ringer up into the tower to see the bells.  Discuss any viewings of the bells with your Tower Captain beforehand and follow all the relevant safety procedures.
