It is very exciting to visit other towers. You meet new ringers, try new bells and generally have a great time.
Gransden ringers went to the practice at Ramsey back in May and we made a reciprocal arrangement for them to come to us on the 13th June. Five of them came over, and including two parents of junior members and one non-ringing visitor from Australia there were nineteen all told.
Tower captain, Sheila G, kept us all busy ringing call changes, Plain Hunt 6, Plain Bob 6, Grandsire 5 and a course of Stedman. Everyone had a good chance to ring and we also did a lot of chatting – renewing aquaintances.
The sweet tin was constantly open and handed round during the notices at half time, when we talked about the Hunts District Ringing Festivalat Gamlingay on Saturday. Ramsey and Gransden are entering teams, so we were careful not to dicuss details with each other!
A great time was had by all and Ramsey ringers thanked us for a lovely evening. It was our pleasure!
