Every other year, Area 12 holds a conference that brings together the ringers throughout its region: from Hawaii and Nevada to parts up and down the state of California. For this reason, the Area 12 conference moves around. During off-conference years, regions hold spring rings, directors’ workshops, and other educational events. And there are always handbell concerts to be found, especially at Christmas time.
To learn more about the Area 12 conference, check the Area 12 conference page for updates as they become available.
To add your concert to the calendar, you can submit the event online or contact the webmaster with the name of the group, date, time, and venue address of the event.

Dear "Want to be Challenged" Ringer,This spring we welcome Stephanie Rhodes as our conductor for the Intense Ring. (Stephanie and Handbell Ventures are hard at work selecting exciting and challenging repertoire for this year’s intense ring!
If you have not participated in this event before, it is a chance to play music under a seasoned director, at a more advanced level than you might experience with your home choir. You will work the pieces up to performance level in only two days, with 4-1/2 hours of straight rehearsal, and a run-through right before the concert: it's intense! But if you love to ring, it's also very fun!
This is a two day event - Rehearsal Friday night and Saturday, with performance in Saturday night concert at 6:30pm.
