JOIN THE GUILD
AGEHR Membership
As a member of the American Guild of English Handbell Ringers, your annual dues bring you access to a large variety of resources and literature, opportunities for ringer and director instruction at all levels, and fellowship in a national community of like-minded individuals. Most importantly, your support as a member of the Guild insures the continued growth and development of handbell and handchime ringing.
The opportunities, resources, and musical literature available to handbell musicians today are a direct result of the dedication and financial support of past members of the AGEHR. Likewise, the future of handbell and handchime ringing in America and around the world depends on our support and involvement today. Please consider becoming a member and helping to pave the way for your own ensemble and for future generations of handbell and handchime musicians.
Membership in the AGEHR is open to full ensembles as well as to individuals. Here are just some of the resources and opportunities available to you at both the national and local levels, as a member of our organization. More benefits...
