Four local ringers in quarter peal at Hilton

Our youngest ringer, Josh, is currently learning how to ring Plain Bob Doubles on No2 bell. He is already proficient ringing the treble bell and to help keep his skill level up we organise an occasional quarter peal for him.

The Easter school holidays were a suitable time to arrange one because we could fit it in during a weekday. And so it was, on Monday the 7th April four of us, myself, Sheila G, Hazel and Josh trecked over to Hilton for a 10.00am meet up with ringing friends Elinor Cole and Tom Ridgman.

As well as being arranged for Josh we took the opportunity to invite Hazel to ring the tenor, which was the first time for her. The ringing took 42 minutes and was very satisfactory. A local resident, also a ringer, said how pleasing it was to hear the bells and congratulated Josh and Hazel on their achievement.
