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 7th December 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. This is limited to Sunday Service ringing by arrangement and 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 Management Committee Meetings the two Branch AGMs and the Association AGM. These are online activities for which pre-registration will be required.

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).
