Young Ringers - Sun 18th May

Young Ringers Monthly Gathering

Welcome bellringers aged under 30. Welcome if you can call spliced, or just about handle a bell, and any standard between.

Come and have fun ringing with young people. You are welcome to bring your non-bellringing friends so we can signpost them to suitable lessons at convenient towers.

6-Bell Striking Contest

This year's contest takes place on Sat 7th June on the six bells at Sandon.

If your band would like to take part, just pop an entry into the Ringing Master. The test piece can be call changes or a method.

And if your band is not entering, just turn up on the day as we will be organising scratch bands.

Please note that teas must be booked by Wednesday 4th June.

See our events page for all the details

Activity Groups

Several groups are active in the North Staffs area providing a variety of ringing opportunities.

Organised by group leaders, some are mainly social while others concentrate on a particular aspect of ringing.

Details of these groups and when they meet can be found on our Activity Groups page.

BRF - Raising funds while you shop

The BRF has been registered on Easyfundraising and this provides an easy way to raise extra funds for our Bell Restoration Fund.

If you shop at any of the 4000+ retailers available via the Easyfundraising website, the BRF gets cashback. And it doesn't add anything to the cost of your shopping, but just gives a bit of extra income to the BRF.

Retailers include well known brands like M&S, John Lewis, Argos, Dunelm, Currys and many many more.

You can shop either via the Easyfundraising website or by downloading their App from Google Play or the Apple App Store.

If you have any questions please email our Treasurer, Liz Fitzgibbon.

Phil Gay has a supply of ash stays for sale, with profits going to the Keele belfry funds.

Phil can provide a wide range of sizes to suit most bells. If you need a stay, or want a couple for standby, please contact Phil on or by email ( ).
