Society NameDescriptionsFrom (year)To (year)Web site
Dorset County Association

This ringing society, founded in 1983, holds regular monthly practices and rings peals and quarter peals. Despite its name the Association is non-territorial - it does operate mainly within the county of Dorset and adjoining areas but members live and ring wherever there are bells to be rung. All members are Life Members. [Research and observations associated with the Council Library Certificates Collection by Chris Ridley.]
