The draw of Rev Canterbury Doubles and Plain Bob Major obviously isn’t too high, but 7 ringers (1 Ludgershall, 1 Stratton, 5 Bicester) turned up at Bicester to try. Rumours one person had hidden in Dubai to avoid ringing Plain Bob Major are still to be proved true (you know who you are!). Unfortunately that meant Plain Bob Major was not going to happen, but we did manage both plain courses and a touch of Rev Canterbury, and gave Helen a few goes at Grandsire Doubles (plain courses). We even managed a course of Stedman Doubles.
Sadly the trip to the pub afterwards was not to be 🙁
The next event for us, and the whole country is the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee – we’re hoping to arrange a quarter peal at Bicester, and a few other towers would like to ring if they can get enough – an volunteers to go to (perhaps a few) towers please contact me ASAP as I am going to try to coordinate it all.
The next branch event is the Branch Practice at Stratton Audley – one of the only places where there are bells with proper character in the branch so please do come along to support that. Hopefully we will have a few more than we did for last years practice, and the pub is next door to the church too 🙂

Sorry – getting ahead of myself – the next Branch Practice is at Middleton Stoney – the Stratton Audley practice is in July”!!
I got the date wrong too – I’ll be hiding in Dubai to avoid Stratton Audley!! (Not true Jeremy…)
