Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers
The Association is now selling the Snowdon Series of ringing books which, very generously, have been donated to it by the previous owner, Christopher Groome. All surplus profits from their sale are for the Association’s Bell Repair Fund.
A brief explanation of the books’ contents is shown alongside. ‘Diagrams’ is a new edition (the 14th), replacing Christopher’s famous edition which he prepared in 1972. It comes with hard backs and is pocket size. The blue lines shown for the 201 methods illustrated (increased from 116 previously) are all laid out as Jasper Snowdon, the Association’s first President, did in his original work bearing the same title, which he published in 1881.
