Welcome

We are the organisation for church bell and handbell ringers in South Wales, UK.

The Calendar is the definitive reference of what is happening, where and when. Please consult it before attending events and practices to check arrangements. Better still, add the Calendar to your PCs and smartphones for your own copy which automatically updates as and when changes are made.

Register to post in the Forums, submit News & Links, send messages to other Users and comment on articles and News; comments appear in the Forums automatically.

Constructive feedback is welcome, either in the Forums here or by email to the Webmaster.

This website is both secure and mobile-friendly!!

Covid-19 Update: Current Situation

Updated 21st July 2020
Ringing has returned on a limited basis in some towers where it is possible to comply with guidance/risk assessments and where ringers are willing and able to return. There are currently no weekly practices at any Association towers and it is unlikely that towers will be able to accommodate visitors for any reason at the moment.

There are no ringing events or practices on the Calendar other than the Association AGM on 12th September 2020 and Management Committee Meetings. These are online activities.

To receive Branch and Association updates and information, newsletters, etc, by email as the situation evolves, please consider subscribing to the relevant Mailing List(s).

Monmouth Branch Newsletters

Updated 31st August June 2020

The Monmouth Branch publishes a quarterly Newsletter for its membership.

A copy of each edition of the Newsletter is sent to each Branch tower via the notified tower correspondent. Email copies are also sent to those who've asked to receive them that way.

Management Committee

Updated 5th June 2020

The Association's Management Committee is the body that oversees its running. It meets four times per year and provides the fulcrum for the Association's activities.

The Committee oversees the whole gamut of Association business, from the setting of budgets and the overseeing of financial affairs through to the offering of grant-aid and/or loans from the Bell Restoration Fund.

Association 200 Club

Updated 6th May 2020

The Association has a "200 Club" which is run both as a bit of fun for the membership and to raise funds for the Bell Restoration Fund.

Since its inception in 1994, the 200 Club has been a most valuable source of regular income for the Bell Restoration Fund (BRF). By end of 2019, the Club had given the BRF £22,450 - an impressive and valuable contribution.
