Welcome
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.
Please bear with us while we rebuild this site - some nasty little trolls hacked us

Ringing Round The Region
As you will see from our events page we are an active region. Over the years 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!

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 HRGB website
