Eleven ringers on Sunday 21st December. We rang some well struck call changes on ten and touches of both Grandsire and Stedman Triples. Eight people turned up to ring for the carol service in the evening. We rang some nice call changes and touches of Grandsire Doubles and Plain Bob Minor.
Practice Night
A strong practice last night with around 16 people attending. One young ringer now handling bell in rounds unaided and some good call changes on ten. We continue to struggle with ringing the comparatively easy Little Bob Major after ringing three leads of London, though it’s probably just the shock of getting through those three leads relatively unscathed.
Practice Night
Seventeen in total at practice tonight. Some really promising progress from our younger ringers who are doing really well and some excellent progress with Plain Hunting on even numbers from some of our older learners. A very good attempt of three leads of London Major into Little Bob, excellent London, we obviously need to practice Little Bob!
