Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Is my registration refundable?
Registration for this event is refundable when requested prior to the registration deadline for the location. Refund requests made after the registration deadline for the location will not be accepted for any reason. Please e-mail your refund request to Jeanne Christopherson at treasurer.area9@handbellmusicians.org.
Can I update my registration information?
You certainly can! If you noticed that you misspelled your name or gave the wrong telephone number, you can log into your RegFox account to adjust your registration yourself or contact Jeanne Christopherson at treasurer.area9@handbellmusicians.org.
Is my registration transferable to another event?

What equipment do I need to bring?
You should be fine bringing only a pair of gloves. Since we are using bells that have been loaned to us, we ask that you wear gloves when ringing. If any classes require any special equipment, you will be advised in the class description.
Anything else I should know?
Be sure and dress comfortably and wear comfortable shoes. If you need a pad or rug to stand on, please bring it. It is August and we live where the temperatures go high. You can plan on the facilities being cool enough to accommodate larger groups. If you tend to get cold quickly, you should probably bring a sweater or light jacket.
