+ <h2>Key elements</h2>
+
+ <div class="flexcontainer">
+ <div>
+ <p>There are two key elements to the YCRA. The first is a mentoring scheme,
+ allowing young ringers to be matched to a mentor or become a mentor
+ themselves. Mentors will be over 18 and assist mentees with anything from
+ method ringing, to bell maintenance, to organising an outing, to mental
+ wellbeing. This scheme will be launched in early 2022, so keep your eyes
+ <q>pealed</q> for the launch of this.</p>
+
+ <p>The second element is three large, organised events a year, spread
+ throughout the country around the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays.
+ The aim of this is to show young ringers that there are lots of other young
+ ringers about, who they can ring and have fun with.</p>
+
+ <p>The Association aims to give members the tools to develop as ringers and
+ as people, too. Ringing is an extremely valuable skill to have on a CV – think
+ of everything it gives you (teamwork, independent study, leadership to name a
+ few). It is understandable why young people would not want to continue a hobby
+ where they are the youngest by 20, 30, 40 years, and so it is hoped this
+ association will allow young ringers to connect with other people and realise
+ other young ringers do exist!</p>

+ <div class="section" id="structure">
+ <h2>Structure</h2>
+
+ <p>The Association will be entirely run by its members. We intend that
+ our integrated mentoring scheme will naturally encourage young ringers into
+ leadership roles, both within the YCRA and the wider ringing community.</p>
+
+ <p>The YCRA's age limit will provide a natural bound on the length of term
+ which its committee members can serve. This will ensure the committee
+ positions are refreshed every few years preventing it from becoming outdated
+ and stagnating. The multitude of available positions of responsibility
+ available below the committee level should ensure that committee members are
+ sufficiently prepared for the challenges involved with sitting on the
+ committee.</p>
</div>
+ <!--div class="section">
+ <h2>Safeguarding</h2>
+ <p>We know how important safeguarding and so have a separate tab above
+ dedicated to this above. There you can find our safeguarding policy and code of
+ conduct.</p>
+ </div-->
+
+ <div class="section" id="pricing">
+ <h2>Pricing</h2>
+ <p>We have set an annual subscription to the Association at £15. For this,
+ you get access to the all the events being held in the year as well as the
+ mentoring scheme and a membership pack (this includes a YCRA pin badge, pen,
+ certificate, and booklet).</p>
+
+ <p>The booklet explains what the YCRA is and provides
+ information such as the events and safeguarding information. It also includes a
+ 101 guide for young ringers, for example, what to do if you visit an unfamiliar
+ tower on your own.</p>
+
+ <p>We think this is good value for money, especially when you
+ might pay the same for an hour of football training or a music lesson and is
+ similar to other local guild subscriptions!</p>
