Welcome to the Lancashire Association of Change Ringers
Current Ringing Status
With the lifting of all COVID restrictions, we echo the CCCBR's advice which is to encourage all ringers to take both a personal approach and a collective approach to how residual risk is managed for themselves and each other. A personal approach is what we are probably all doing already when we ask ourselves:
What’s the local risk?
What’s my personal risk?
How do I reduce both?
How do I decide if it’s safe for me to ring?
With no limits on numbers, distancing or duration, the emphasis is on considering which mitigations are appropriate for a particular ringing situation, adjusting the length of time accordingly.
For instance, a fully vaccinated band (two vaccinations and booster) might be comfortable ringing for an extended period of time at a well ventilated tower if all participants have done a LFT within the previous 24 hours, while teaching youngsters is likely to be for shorter periods, again with a LFT within 24 hours and possibly with a face covering.
