Spring Ring

In October 2011, the board of BCGEHR voted to make Spring Ring a biennial event, and that quality regional workshops be held in the alternate years.
 
 “Spring Ring” is BCGEHR’s provincial event, a two-day festival whose purpose is to bring bell ringers and choirs from all parts of British Columbia together; to develop an inter-generational relationship among ringers; and to stimulate and introduce new ringing skills and appreciation of music through the art of handbell ringing.
 
Spring Ring rotates between the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, and the BC Interior.

 

Spring Ring is on again!
 

After twice being postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the BCGEHR Executive is pleased to announce that Spring Ring has been rescheduled for May 5 & 6, 2023, in beautiful Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. It will take place at Nanaimo's First Baptist Church, 1650 Waddington Rd.
