The church I go to uses a recording nowadays (sign of the times, I suppose). People are always surprised when I tell them that it's a recording, though - you'd never guess. The adjoining parish uses proper bells though, and apparantly they are short of ringers ('campanologists', I'm told), so I'm thinking of joining. I know a couple of people who go there, but I don;t know if they do the bells.
The bell I rung on Saturday was one of the ones at this very old and lovely church in Neston about ten miles from us:
