The opportunity to raise funds for the Christ Church, Port Sunlight, Handbells Refurbishment / Augmentation Project was taken through sponsorship of the ringers and by donations from the band, other ringers and church members. With over £300 raised, this will be more than sufficient to add a sharp or flat to the double octave. Thanks to all.
