Bell Ringing

National 12-Bell Ringing Contest

There are various Ringing contests every year, but the peak of them all is the National 12-Bell. To put it into context, there are over 5000 towers in the UK with a ringable set of 6 or more bells. Of those, only 136 have 12 (or more) bells, of which Wimborne is one.

Of those 136 12-bell towers, only around 20 put in a team for the National 12-bell, so the Wimborne band is very proud to have taken part.

The Eliminators were held in 3 locations, and Wimborne was allocated to St Magnus the Martyr in London, on March the 26th, and was placed 5th.
