Some fifteen ringers came to tonight’s branch practice at Islip, a change of venue as it was realised that as it was Shrove Tuesday Sally Wale was able to provide pancakes at her house afterwards.
After some rounds for Marcus, Islip’s latest recruit, we rang several courses of plain hunt on five and seven for Dinah, Kevin (from North Aston), Mandy and Gerald and plain courses of Grandsire Doubles for Sue, Gerald and Mandy to ring inside to.
As we had a strong band we were also able to not only ring a plain course of plain Bob Minor but also a first Bob triples for some time in a branch practice with Laurence, Kathryn, Jeremy and Graham, called by Emma and also plain hunt on eight, with Gerald on 2, before lowering in peal. A very good practice!
Then to Sally’s for some very tasty pancakes, cooked by Teresa and Sue and opportunity to catch up and make plans.
