offlineMemberCampanology covers all types of bell ringing, except when you go to hotel reception, there's no-one there and you lean on the bell until the angry receptionist turns up. That has a different name...
And all the bell ringers I've spoken to - oh alright, both the bell ringers I've spoken to - say they are bell ringers and not campanologists. They say it's only people who aren't campanologists who call bell ringers campanologists. I hope that clears the one up.
