Due to some quite variable attendance at the monthly Bicester Triples & Major practices the format has been changed. The new special practices will alternate between Bicester and Islip, on the 3rd Monday or Tuesday each month. Whilst all types of ringing will be provided, I am going to concentrate on a different method or methods each month so everyone will have something to look up and challenge them. For those trying to learn a particular method please I hope these will also provide a useful teaching resource. The dates/methods for the coming year are thus:
| Tuesday 21st June | Islip | Grandsire Doubles & Triples |
| Monday 18th July | Bicester | Plain Bob and Grandsire Doubles |
| Tuesday 16th August | Islip | Plain Bob Minor |
