We had a super practice last night. Our usual repertoire was rung, being call changes, Plain Hunt and Plain Bob Doubles, but there were thirteen ringers in the tower including Catherina and new visitor, Ruth.
A couple of our local ringers are away and any chance of Grandsire 5 is away with them, but as both Catherina and Ruth can ring it we ended the practice with a 120 (calling PSBS), and it was very nicely rung. This was followed by a very good ring down in peal.
During some other ringing, Josh was assessed for his level 2 certificate in the Learning the Ropes scheme which he passed. Now the hard work begins!!! He will be presented with the certificate next Thursday.
Overall it was a jolly good evening with new sweets opened during the notices and summer events announced.
Also this week, as it was half term, Josh joined our Wednesday morning tied bell practice. He came along with his grandad John. Afterwards we went up to see the old belfry. Here are Josh and John standing by the old No 3 bell.
