Great Gransden Hosts Hunts District Meeting

Great Gransden ringers had the pleasure and privilege of hosting the Huntingdon District meeting today 15th March 2025.

Ringing was from 3.00pm when the bells were beautifully raised in peal. The ringing room soon filled up and ringing master, Andrew Smith, made sure of a varied menu of ringing. Methods included Rounds, call changes, Plain Hunt, Plain Bob Doubles, a lovely touch of Grandsire doubles, a course of Cambridge Minor and three courses of St Clements. Unfortunately an attempt at London was unsuccessful.

Several ringers were visiting for the first time, with supervised novices ringing very well indeed. The total attendance was 24.

Tea, prepared by the local ringers, was served at 4.30pm in the lovely Great Gransden Reading Room, and this was followd by a short business meeting, during which six new members of the Association were elected. Congratulations to all.

The District Committee has planned a full ringing schedule for the year to cater for all abilities, and we were encouraged to attend when we can.

Thank you all for coming, it was a very enjoyable afternoon.
