Josh has been ringing for 10 months and making good progress, moving on to ringing Plain Hunt on the treble. He is ready to go on to ring the treble to Plain Bob Doubles and to ring the tenor behind but needs a very steady band to help with this, and a lighter tenor bell.
So, Sheila and I arranged to visit Little Eversden (7 1/4 cwt) on Friday the 27th of October (during half term) and we invited some ringing friends from the Cambridge District to help.
The ringing started with an excellent ring up in peal with Josh on the 2nd. The first piece of ringing was call changes, which he called, and impressed the others. He then rang the 2nd to Plain Hunt Minor, the treble to a 120 of Plain Bob Doubles and the tenor of two occasions to the same. Sheila was looking after him giving advice and helping him to see the bells. We finished with more call changes to Queens and back, again, called by Josh.
His ringing during the one-hour session was very good and the experience of the other ringers was highly beneficial.
Our very grateful thanks to Elinor Cole, Becca Glazier, Tom Ridgman, Tony Probert (T/C at Eversden) and Dave Hawkins. We enjoyed an excellent afternoon – and well done Josh!
