FOR the first time in 30 years, St Paul’s Guild fielded a band solely of Whitley Bay ringers at a striking competition in Ponteland.

The guild competed against some of the finest teams in the area and came a credible seventh.

The ringers of St Paul’s who took part said they were justifiably proud of their achievement and of representing Whitley Bay, and look forward to competing in future competitions.
