On Tuesday 20th May 9 ringers (and one fairly new recruit) arrived for the special practice at Islip – great to see our secretary back up the tower following slipping and breaking her wrist earlier in the year. The nominated methods for the evening were Little Bob Minor and Grandsire Triples.
We started with a rather shaky course of Little Bob Minor on the back 6before ringing up the front two and ringing plain hunt on 7. Flushed with the success of ringing on 8 we pushed onward with a couple of fairly well struck Grandsire Triples… Very satisfying, though the first course was better than the last. We then had some plain courses of Grandsire Doubles before having a further go at Little Bob Minor (this time more successfully so we rang three courses). We finished with a touch of Grandsire Doubles, some plain hunt on 7 and then down, before heading the Swan for a drink.
Another fine evening with fine ringing and fine company.
Next is the branch practice at Middleton Stoney on Wednesday 4th June – hopefully see many of you there for that.
