We have an adult mixed-voice
choir, rehearsing at 9am each Sunday. We participate in worship
each Sunday morning at 10am and also at approximately twelve
special services each year.
We are a mixed ability group
including music graduates and those not able to read music. No
audition is needed, only the ability to sing in tune. Our organist
and choir master is happy to speak to anyone who would like to
join the choir. He will also be pleased to talk to anyone in
the congregation who plays a musical instrument.

Bellringers
You can't see us - but you can certainly hear us. No special
skills are needed to learn to ring, although a half-decent memory
is an advantage. Ringers' age range tends to be 16+ through to
extremely old. Physical strength is not a must but a sense of
hand, eye and brain co-ordination is needed.
We practise every Monday evening.
Initial learning is carried out on 'tied' bells (the sound muffled
for the benefit of our neighbours), once general handling is
considered okay learners are 'let loose' on open bells with the
rest of the group. We have marvellous support from ringers based
at other nearby churches.
Commitment is important, and regular attendance at Monday training
is essential for the first few months. Once trained to a suitable
level, ringing for the 10am Sunday service is expected of all
ringers. We are also asked to ring for some weddings and on other
special occasions and national events.
