The seminar on Recruitment & Retention held on 7th March 2009 at Shedfield, turned out to be a great success.  The event was well attended and almost all of the Towers in the District were represented, much to the delight of the organisers.  Feedback from the event was very positive.  Time was spent listing ways and ideas for gathering recruits. Two sessions of practical teaching people to teach beginners were held by Mike Winterbourne.

The committee are now circulating  information on:  the list of ideas developed, and  resources available to all Towers, including Resource list of Weblinks, One Per Learner Books, Posters for Recruitment etc.

Follow up planning is underway with a further training day proposed once Towers have had a bit of time to see who they can recruit.  In the meantime if your Tower needs help either with Teaching or Recruiting  then contact.  District Secretary  who can arrange ringers to assist .
