Administrative history
Following a series of quarterly ringing meetings held in the early 1870's a meeting was held in Bradford on 2nd January 1875. After some ringing, those present adjourned to the Church Steps Inn for a business meeting and it was agreed to form a Yorkshire Society to promote ringing. Jasper Snowdon was unanimously elected to the chair for that meeting which formulated a constitution and a set of rules. These were presented to a large meeting held at Birstall on 30th October 1875, as a result of which the Yorkshire Association came into being.
In recognition of the leading part played by Snowdon, he was elected President and remained in this position until his death in 1885.
The Society continues to this day, and is now one of the largest ringing associations in the United Kingdom.
