Young Ringers

The YACR Young Ringers are also known as the Yorkshire Tykes. The group is open to all young people aged 18 and under from any of the YACR Branches. Minimum standard is to be able to control a bell unaided. Parents and adult helpers are welcome to come and help.

The Tykes meet each month (either the 2nd or 3rd Sunday afternoon) and visit various Association towers for a general practice or to ring quarter peals. The ringing is usually run by one of the young people and is all aimed at what they wish to ring.

The Tykes also represent YACR in the Ringing World National Youth Contest each year. On 1st July 2017 they successfully overcame 18 other teams to win the Whitechapel Trophy in Birmingham. 

In July 2023 we were part of the hosting group who organised the contest on home turf in York. This year a record 28 of our young ringers attended the event. We were the only team to ring a method on 8 bells in the method section, and also entered an 8 bell team in the call changes section. Plus we had 12 reserves...!replica uhren

Pictures on our News Page show the whole team at York Minster.

If you have not attended a Tykes event before and wish to do so please contact Jane Lynch for further information. All YACR under 19's are welcome to come along provided they can safely handle a bell on their own.
