History
The Dorset County Association of Church Bell Ringers (DCA) is a ringing society based in Dorset (although we have members across the country) that holds a regular monthly practice and other events (e.g. Bell Ringing Outings, Meals, etc.). We have a Bell Restoration Fund (a registered charity) and also a Mobile Bell Tower which can be used for recruitment at locations without a bell tower (i.e. outdoors at fairs, sports halls, etc).

The association was formed on the 1st January 1983.

In 2023, the "Ruby ring" was set up to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the association. Courses, peals and events were held to celebrate 40 years of the association.

Despite its name, the Association is non-territorial; it does operate mainly within the county of Dorset and adjoining areas, but members live and ring wherever there are bells to be rung.

All members are Life Members.
