Working jointly with the Keltek Trust (www.Keltek.org) SACR has recently helped to save 2 redundant sets of bells from churches in the West of Scotland. We now have 22 bells available for new bell projects in Scotland. For more details of the exciting opportunity, follow see the “New Bell Installation Committee”
The Scottish Association of Change Ringers was formed in Edinburgh on 23rd April 1932: so 2007 saw the 75th anniversary of the Association. To mark this there were a number of special events and ringing. For more information, see our 75 Years of the SACR section.

SACR badges are now available once again, with our logo of a plain bell on a saltire. They are very smart and you really need one, especially at the unbeatable price of £3. Badges are available from Terry Williams.
