As we approach the end of the school holidays we can reflect on the success of the last few weeks. Josh has already rung his first quarter peal and to complete his Level 3 certificate in the Learning the Ropes scheme another was arranged for him, this time ringing the treble to quarter peal of Plain Bob Doubles. This was achieved at Little Eversden on Tuesday the 20th of August.
We have already reported that Em started to learn to ring, and after seven lessons has achieved her Level 1 in the same scheme. We will present her certificate on the 29th of August.
Meanwhile, the weekly tied bell practices using simulated sound (Sim Sound Sessions), held on a Wednesday have been very beneficial as we are now working on Grandsire Doubles. The young ringers have been able to attend too making it a real all-age mix.
Back to school soon, and Em is off to university but has made arrangementd to ring there. Josh (11), moves up to a new school, and Haydn (9), will continue to come to Thursday practices and we are looking forward to bringing them on to greater things as we start a new term in the ringing room.
