The Inaugural Meeting of the Guild of Medical Ringers took place in May 1955 and members have met regularly since that date. The Rules of Constitution state that Ordinary Membership is open to qualified members of any of the health professions whose qualification is registerable with an appropriate professional Council, and Associate Membership is open to those in training in any of the health professions, as defined above; to the immediate family of Ordinary Members; and to such others, associated with medicine, whom the Guild elects with a two thirds majority.

Meetings are held on the third Saturdays of May and November, except in exceptional circumstances. The November meeting is always held in London and is our AGM; and the May meeting is held 'in the country', some years it being a weekend meeting. The usual format for the day is a peal or quarter peal attempt in the morning, ringing at three or four towers in the afternoon, and a fairly informal dinner in the evening.

Life membership at present is £10.00 for Ordinary and Associate Members, except for members in training for whom it is £5.00 with a further £5.00 being paid on qualification. Meeting details are usually circulated to active members approximately one month prior to the meeting.
