Junior Steward

From a young age, I was always captivated by the sound of church bells and it wasn’t until the age of 13 that I managed to find somewhere to learn how to ring. This was at the Saturday ringing school at Prittlewell, Essex under the careful eye of Peter Sloman. There began my journey into ringing. I went on to join the Essex Young Ringers and competed in numerous competitions, including the RWNYC in which we won in my final year at Exeter in 2022.

I currently work for Essex Police as a Roads Traffic Prosecutions Officer, dealing with traffic offences and keeping the roads of Essex safe.

My other hobbies include swimming and skiing, both of which I have done from a young age.

What does the Junior Steward do?

The Junior Steward is also involved at London practices as the person who collects steepleage. They deputise for the Senior Steward or Master as required and are the person who meets & greets visitors (although of course other people do this too!). The Junior Steward often gets involved with organising regular Society events - booking peal towers, evening venues or helping with organising peal bands. Much of the role involves assisting the Treasurer in collecting and recording peals and monies.
