About the Ladies' Guild

The object of the Ladies’ Guild of Change Ringers.

“to bring together ringers both nationally and within local districts, to encourage new ringers and to improve the standard of ringing amongst members” 

We provide a supportive network of members who will help any other members who wish to achieve new goals within ringing. This may be to ring a quarter peal or a peal; to try a new method; or to make an effort to ring or conduct something new. Members will help to organise a band and a suitable tower.

District meetings

 We meet together in local districts throughout the year. The 8 national districts are: Central, Eastern, The Marches, North West, South Midlands, Southeastern, Southern, and Western, and we have an international USA district. See the main Districts page for details.

The Annual General Meeting weekend is held in June, in a different district each year. This event often includes Friday evening ringing and also the social side of meeting up with friends from across the wide area covered by the membership.

Other events
