Come join us for the first annual Workshop on Saturday, October 11th, at First United Methodist Church in Gainesville. We will have a fun day of handbell ringing under the direction of Scott Beck, the newly appointed Artistic Director of Hoggtowne Bronze, with mass ringing and skill-building plus a chance to get to know other ringers from throughout North Central Florida. The workshop is a great way for groups to get a head start on great literature for the upcoming year, but individual ringers are also welcome to come enjoy the event.
Register as a group (2 or more) or as an individual.
 
Group registration is
  • $25 ($30 for individual to cover equipment rental costs) if postmarked by the early bird deadline of September 30.
  • $30 ($35 for individual needing rental) if postmarked by October 6. 
  • Students under 18 years of age are $15 each but must have adult chaperones. 

Groups are required to bring their own equipment including tables.

Individuals will have access to handbells and equipment or can bring their own to guarantee a desired ringing position.

You may purchase the music in advance (especially if you would like to mark the music prior to the event). However, you may also order the music through Hoggtowne Bronze to pick up the day of the event ($16).
