NATIONAL CALL CHANGE COMPETITON

Following a break in 2026, the National Call Change Competition is moving to a new slot in the calendar in 2027, which will then be the regular Saturday each year. The next Competition will be on 2nd October 2027 in the Cheltenham area.

As in previous years, the competition is open to bands who are practicing call change ringing in the Devon style, including rise and lower. It is possible that in 2027 a separate competition will be run for bands who are not ready for the raise and lower, but who wish to ring a peal ‘off the stay’ i.e. starting and finishing with the bells up.
