The Australian and New Zealand Association of Bellringers

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard ringing church bells before? Well, there are some special people called bellringers who like to ring them in a certain way. They are part of an organization in Australia and New Zealand called the Australian and New Zealand Association of Bellringers, or ANZAB for short.

ANZAB is a club where people who like to ring church bells join together. They have meetings and events where they practice ringing the bells together. They have something called a "peal" which is when they ring the bells in a special pattern for a really long time, sometimes over three hours!

The bellringers also like to have friendly competitions to see who can ring the bells the best. They even have judges who watch and listen to the bellringers and give them scores.

The ANZAB bellringers think it's important to keep this tradition alive and to share their love of bellringing with others. They even have a website where you can learn more about them and even try some virtual bellringing!

So, that's the Australian and New Zealand Association of Bellringers for you, kiddo. It's a group of people who love ringing church bells together and sharing their passion with others in Australia and New Zealand.
