Conductors should send full details (names, method, composition) to the Peal Secretary, pealsecretary@bacbr.org.uk, and pay the peal fee within 4 weeks (or by 14th January if rung in the preceding December).
Peal fees, currently £1.00 per ringer, should ideally be paid directly by online banking to the Association’s account – sort code 30-94-47, account number 01418488
Peal fees are transferred to the Association’s Bell Restoration Fund.
All peal ringers must be members of the Association. Non-members can be elected before the peal attempt provided that the proposer and seconder are Voting Members who are also taking part in the peal. Their election must be ratified at any BACBR meeting within 3 months of the peal. The proposer should make sure that the new member signs up on the Association’s Member Mojo membership system using this link – Bedfordshire Association of Church Bell Ringers , or, if they don’t have online access, completes a membership form which should be sent to the Association Treasurer – Sue Silver, 3 Heronslee, Shefford, SG17 5FQ
Recently rung peals can be viewed on our website home page through a ‘live feed’ from the Ringing World’s Bell Board.
