Spread the word! FREE USE OF HANDBELLS AND HANDCHIMES! That’s right! Ringers and directors need to know that Area XII of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers (AGEHR) owns and loans handbells and handchimes to qualified choirs. Schools or churches that will use these sets as "instruments for education" can qualify.

The process is easy and painless. Here is all you need to do: Send an email and request an application. That’s it! Fill it out completely, giving close attention to answering how you will use the set of handbells or handchimes. When your completed application has been received, the members of the Executive Board of AGEHR will review it for approval, and one of the sets could be on its way to your choir!

We hope that those of you who wish to promote the art of handbell ringing will consider a donation to this fund so that we can add to the sets that are available for loan.
