4 members of the Dove Team attended the 2025 DAC Bell Advisors' Conference in Leeds. It included a presentation concerning Dove and proposals for a review of bells listed for preservation. @ccringing
We have improved the way we display the date of a bell. Where undated, we display the founder's period of activity. When submitting an estimated date for a bell please don't provide anything outside the given period or alert us if you believe the period needs correcting.
We are pleased to announce the inclusion from today of LIGHTWEIGHT RINGS in Dove, which includes the portable rings. @ccringing
