      Bellringing at Compton<\/h3>\n
      \n\t

      The Compton band is a thriving group which practises regularly and rings for Sunday morning services. It has a good mixture of very accomplished ringers and progressing learners and has reached the stage where it can accommodate a couple of new starters.<\/p>\n

      Bell ringing practice is held every two weeks, currently on Tuesdays at 10am.\u00a0However, we realise that this is\u00a0\u00a0not convenient for everyone so we can arrange additional practices at different times if required.<\/p>\n

      Ringing on Sundays is from 9.50am to 10.25am (Not 1st Sunday).<\/p>\n
