Online training session 9 December 2020: The National 12 Bell Contest

On Wednesday 9 December we will be joined by Mark Bell and Haley Barnett, the Chair and Secretary of the National 12 Bell Contest committee. The ’12 Bell’ is one of the biggest ringing events of the year and, for many, a highlight of the ringing calendar. Mark and Haley have been instrumental in organising the contest in recent years and are ready to reveal all the behind the scenes secrets. 

They are keen to hear your questions: please register by completing this form: https://forms.gle/1A5REptBuqE5EVW7A  

Any questions you have can be submitted by that form, if possible by Sunday evening please so Mark and Haley have time to prepare their responses. 

We look forward to seeing many of you there. 7pm Wednesday 9 December.
