The Association
About Us

We are a group of about 400 bell ringers in North Staffordshire who meet to ring and socialise together.
We give support and training throughout the area, promote bell ringing and provide bell ringing advice.

100 Club

The Association runs a '100 Club' to raise funds for the Bell Restoration Fund. Members pay a subsciption of £12 and are entered in 5 draws in the year.
There are four prize draws, usually at business meetings, and one Superdraw at the Association's AGM. If fully subscribed the first prize will be £50 at the prize draws and £100 at the super draw.
If you would like a flutter in aid of a good cause, please visit our 100 Club page...
Ringing 2030

We are now at the point where ringing could die out as older ringers retire from bands. To address this the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR) has launched an inititive to recruit more ringers under the age of 40.
See the CCCBR website to read more.
