 
Welcome to the web site of the South West Region of the Handbell Ringers of Great Britain. This page is updated on a regular basis so be sure to come back again for information on events, people, sales and a wealth of other information that we are keen to let people know about.
Within this site can be found information on active handbell teams in the South West with a map to guide you in finding your nearest team to ring at your event. There are over 130 registered teams in the South West with many more operating outside the umbrella of HRGB.
The South West Region is one of the largest regions in HRGB with its territory stretching from Cornwall to Wiltshire, Dorset to Gloucestershire. The Channel Islands are also part of the South West Region as is the southern part of Wales where we are currently trying to develop a greater interest in handbell tune ringing. |

Promoting Handbell Ringing to the Public
Every month we receive requests from organisations and the public looking for handbell teams in their area for functions or just someone to ring with. We then spend time pouring over our HRGB Directory to try to get the right match.
If at least 3/4 of your team are fully paid-up members of HRGB then we would be delighted to help you promote your group through the SW website.
We shall be displaying a series of maps of the South West Region with markers showing teams that are
- Looking for more members
- Willing to be booked for concerts or talks (such as Friendly Circles, WIs etc)
- Able to play peals on handbells for weddings
Simply complete the form on this site and after checking that you are entitled we shall stick a pin in the map for you.
You can choose whether to publish your contact details or to have the SW Secretary handle any enquiries. You can even upload a document (word or pdf) with a profile about your team and we will make you a web page on this site to promote you. |

Ringing Round The Region
| As you will see fromour events page we are a very active region. Over the last year we have attempted to take the ringing to the ringers by holding numerous area (or mini) rallies. We have prepared a quantity of Massed Ringing books (music is marked with coloured circles for those ringers who are unsure of staff notation) which can be used on the day and all we ask you to do is to find a venue, provide tea and coffee during the day and we'll do the rest!
For more information on Ringing Round The Region please contact Jane Willis on (01837) 52565 or write to us at: Lyndhurst
