The first tied bell session of the year was held at Nutbells on the 10th of January. This year we held a simple quiz on Call Changes and Plain Hunt on 5 taken from the Learning the Ropes training scheme. Most questions were answered correctly and there was some useful discussion around some of the topics.
It was a light-hearted gathering and we’re looking forward to recommencing in the tower on Wednesday the 17th.
On Thursday the 11th we held our second tower bell practice of the year. Unfortunately, there were only six in attendance due to holidays and work committments. We rang Plain Hunt and Call Changes before cutting the practice short at 8.30pm.
Before the practice three of us rang handbells. Josh had his first lesson. We practised Rounds on all pairs, then had some place making and dodging practice. The next step was to ring Plain Hunt on six with Josh ringing 5/6, which was very nicely rung. Next week – Plain Hunt on the other pairs!
