We're looking to recruit new members for our band.

Are you a lapsed bell ringer and fancy trying it out again? We meet on Wednesdays at 7.30 pm. You would be very welcome to join us to see who we are and what is involved.

We also teach people from scratch, so if you fancy giving bellringing a go, please come and see us on a Wednesday evening. It's a superb hobby.
