Bell ringers wanted

We’re looking for volunteers to ring the bells for around 15 minutes before the Sunday 10.30am service as they are a pleasure for all to hear. It’s fun and no musical training is required – but you do have to be able to climb into the belfry. Would anyone who is interested in having a go, with a view to joining a roster of ringers, please contact John White by email  jnewportwhite@gmail.com or tel 087 259 4729  Simple instruction will be given.
