                                                              Bristol Rural Branch is the name given to a group of church Bellringers.
The objectives of the branch are similar to the objectives of the Association to which we belong:-
1. To promote the ringing of bells for divine service.
2. To practise ringing to obtain a higher standard of ringing.
3. To educate the general public in the art and science of change ringing.
4. To bring together the members of the branch for the improvement of ringing.

                  Bristol Rural Branch is one of the twelve branches making up the

'Gloucester and Bristol Diocesan Association of Church Bell Ringers'

The Association geographically  covers an area from Bristol City  branch in the South to North Cotswold branch in the North,  the Forest Branch (Forest of Dean) in the West to Cirencester in the East.
Bristol Rural has  twenty one towers, of these eighteen are ringable. with three that are currently unringable, these can be seen in the practice night pages, which are selectable by the buttons on your left or going to the branch map and selecting individual towers.
The branch comprises of ringers from all the  towers who are members of the above association by paying an annual fee.
The branch members elect a small committee at the Annual General Meeting which takes place in November each year to administer the
needs of the branch members. For details on the current committee click here
