Welcome to our new, improved website.
A comprehensive hub for all the latest news which includes separate sections for each Branch’s News as well as Young Ringers, LEBRF and a calendar of trainings and other events. Of course, it is still the home of all the existing information carried over from the old site.
We’ve given a lot of thought to navigation and usability with an improved search bar and a brand new Explore page which displays an organised listing of every page on the site – it’s like a visual index. Importantly, it is accessible on all sizes of screens and automatically reformats the pages for the best experience whether you are viewing on desktop or mobile and all sizes in between.
If you are a new member, you may find it helpful to visit this introductory page to give you an overview of what the Guild offers you and get some pointers on how to find out about the various training opportunities and social events in your local area.
We are keen to include as much news from around the Guild as we can so please send your contributions to email hidden; JavaScript is required and do try to include a photo if you can.
Please take a look round – I do hope you enjoy your visit.
