On Tuesday 4th March (pancake day) 8 ringers from 3 branch towers banded together for the Branch Practice at Islip.
We rang mainly Plain courses of Grandsire Doubles, but as we had 8 ringers we decided to remind Islip that they have 8 bells by ringing up the less used treble and two and rang some nice call changes before finishing.
The Islip ringers hospitality, legendary in the branch, was then in full force with the annual pancake party following the practice, this year at Sally and Richard’s house. We all had our fill of two or three pancakes each and various beverages before the evening draw to a close. Very many thanks to Sally and Richard for opening their home.
The next branch event is the special practice at Bletchingdon (Plain Bob Doubles and Grandsire Doubles) on Wed 19th March. Hopefully see many of you there then.
