Friday, 05 September 2025The 2025 Central Council AGM weekend is hosted by YACR within Sheffield from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th September to be part of the YACR 150th anniversary year.
It all starts on the Friday with two ringing routes into Sheffield:
- Wortley and Ecclesfield
- South Anston and Whiston
Both routes then merge at St Marie’s Catholic Cathedral, then on to the Anglican Cathedral followed by the social event.
Saturday is the Ringing World AGM followed by the CCCBR Annual Council Meeting. Meeting papers etc will be available from the CCCBR website in due course. There’s another chance to network and discuss developments from the day at the social event in the evening.
Sunday sees the roadshow at the conference venue with lots of exhibitors in the fields of engineering, leadership, heritage, skill and inclusion. There will be a number of mini rings available and some interesting talks and interactive sessions:
- Gareth Davies – “Ringers… a scandal to the Church, and a disgrace to themselves”
- Tina Stoecklin – “What does karate teach us”?
- Jayden Milby – an interactive workshop on all you need to know about creating engaging media content – bring your tablet or laptop along!
- Andrew Slade – Ringing 2030 – a Yorkshire Association perspective
In the run up to the Central Council weekend in September, we will be sharing regular updates on some of the attractions of the weekend’s events. Confirmed exhibitors include those specialising in hardware, peal boards, ropes, membership groups.
Full details of all exhibitors and speakers will appear in the final version of the weekend programme.
