DESCRIPTION:We have 8 bells in our church tower\, however on a good day we
  might have only 4 or 5 of them ringing. We are looking to build a team of
  at least 12 bell ringers to create a more secure future for bell ringing 
 at Christ Church.  Bell ringing requires a good sense of time and rhythm\,
  and in return it will provide a light upper body exercise and a good work
  out of the mind!  If you'd like to learn more about how to get involved\,
  reach out to Paul Coggon on 07909 120924 or via email at paulandcharlotte
