MEMBERS of St Luke’s Church in Holmes Chapel have the sound of success ringing in their ears.

The church’s team of bell ringers were winners in the South Cheshire area ringing competition at St Leonard Warmingham.

The competition aims to see which band can ring most accurately and keep best time over about five minutes.

The team will now represent the area in the Cheshire competition later this year.

Competition will be strong, but the team hopes to do well.

New ringers are always welcome, with tuition given, so come along to one of the group’s Friday evening practices.
