Interaction with others is what makes membership exciting, educational and enriching. We encourage you to seek out a local chapter, as learning about your bells will be much more enjoyable with the sharing and exchange possible in personal contact. In addition, all groups have social activities.

Listed below are the ABA member groups, by state, followed by the International Groups. International chapters are now in Australia, Ontario, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and in the British Isles, the home of our newest chapter.

All groups meet at least twice each year, with a few meeting every month. Click on a group name to view meeting times, find a contact, or to visit their web site.

Membership also includes our official ABA publication, The Bell Tower, access to our library of bell-related materials (helpful in your research), and the opportunity to attend our annual convention and any of the three Regional meetings. The Regional meetings are also listed below.

Because not every state or country has a local group, membership in the ABA is open to all bell enthusiasts, with At-Large membership providing the same benefits. Individual members can also be found throughout the United States and Canada; and in Argentina, Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Norway, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey and Uruguay.
