Tim Chapman, tower captain, St Saviour's and St Petrox churches, Dartmouth, writes:

I just wanted to say thank you for the article in last Friday's Dartmouth Chronicle.

We were all very surprised to find ourselves on the front page.

This is the kind of publicity that puts the art of bell-ringing in the minds of potential new recruits. Your report was very much appreciated.

On November 10, we will be holding the Dartmouth Bell- ringing Festival, and next year we are holding a series of special events to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the rehanging of St Saviour's bells.

Once again, thank you for all that you have done for us.
