Complimentary copies
We offer discretionary complimentary copies to contributors, first quarter pealers, and in special circumstances such as if we have printed the obituary of a close family member. Please get in touch with admin@ringingworld.co.uk to enquire.
We also send out free copies to ringers when we print their first peal. We should get in touch with the conductor or submitter of the peal in these circumstances - please contact us if we haven't been in touch.
Older issues
Please note that paper copies of issues prior to 1950 are comparatively rare and generally now obtainable only as part of bound volumes on sale through specialist second-hand book dealers.
The Ringing World Shop stocks a USB stick which contains electronic scans (PDF) of all the issues from the first hundred years of The Ringing World (1911-2011).
Copies of the 1911-1970 PDFs are also available to download from BellBoard, and from the Central Council website.
