The Fen Tigers
Welcome to the website for the Young Ringers of the Ely Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers
Our Ely DA Young Ringers Group (aka The Fen Tigers) welcomes ringers of ANY ability in the Ely DA who are 18 years or under. We meet monthly at St Clement’s Cambridge (usually 2nd Monday, 5.30pm) and bimonthly at venues around the Diocese - see calendar below.
Please contact us for more details of how to join - see contact details below.
Did you know that students can do bell ringing as a 'skill' for Duke of Edinburgh awards?
