The competition will be part of a 3-day ringing weekend at Trinity, running from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, with general ringing as well as competition ringing.

The full schedule for the weekend is available here. Note that there will be practice time for each band both on Saturday morning and for 15 minutes before the test piece is rung.

The competition will be on 8 bells. The test piece is the following touch of 238 Plain Bob Triples: sF M W W I

The rules for the competition are available here.

Registering a Band

If you have a band, or are intending on making up a band, please have the organizer register a band below. If you are planning on putting together a band but do not have 8 ringers, please register a band, and if you do not have enough by the competition, individual attendees will be randomly assigned to fill in. The person of contact is the only person who needs to register. Individual members of the band do not need to register, either individually or as a band, and will be notified as soon as the organizer registers the band.

Registering as an Individual

If you are not part of a band but would like to join us, you are very welcome! Register as an individual and you will be assigned to a scratch band, or will be randomly assigned to an incomplete band.
