The Next Quarter Peal

Every quarter peal is special. They require a lot of mental and physical effort. They are usually successful but never guaranteed.

On Friday 15th September we met with friends to ring St Clements Bob Minor. It was very warm in the ringing room even with the window open and the fan blowing. The ringing was unsettled and had mistakes. After two attempts I suggested that we change the plan and ring Plain Bob, which was agreed.

It was a good decision because we had some very nice ringing which took 45 minutes. I called my favourite 720, which is by Benjamin Annable which he composed in 1735.

Afterwards, we retired to Nutbells for a cup of tea and enjoyed the warm sunny late afternoon chatting about ringing. During the ringing the Rector had emailed Sheila about another matter. She had been listening to the bells and sent her best wishes to us and complimented us on our ringing.
