Learning Almost anyone from ten years old and upwards should be able to learn to ring. There are no membership fees and the only requirement for fitness is being able to climb any steps to the ringing chamber. The next stage of the learning process is to master call changes where two bells swap positions in the sequence of ringing. An ability to ring good call changes is all that is needed to take part in ringing for Sunday services and weddings.
