"It's been something I've been interested in but Ring for the King made me think this is the time to get in to it, so I decided to start learning," she says."I'd encourage younger people to really get involved with it, you make lots of friends very quickly."Fiona Smith, a 55-year-old occupational therapist from Woodbridge, has only been ringing since November.
