An amazing fifteen ringers came to tonight’s branch practice at Woodeaton, the first practice there for several years. Perhaps it was the rarity of the location that drew such large numbers for a “grab” .Our number included a full complement of the Lee family, accompanying Colin, our steward, and ringing master Jeremy.
It was good to see a strong contingent of Islip ringers, including Sally , Sue, Kathryn, Teresa, James, Dinah and Marcus. Also great to see Celia from Bicester.
After ringing up we rang call changes for Dinah, Marcus and two Lee children, followed by some plain courses of Grandsire Doubles with James inside and Sue trebling. Next we rang a touch of Grandsire doubles for Judith to treble to, called by Colin, followed by more Grandsire and a touch of plain Bob doubles for Simon inside and Judith trebling.
Next we rang a plain course of Winchendon Place and a touch of Reverse Canterbury doubles for Kathryn finishing with a set of call changes for our less experienced ringers and a lower in peal led by Celia, before a group photo next to Baa Baa.
A really nice practice, which would have been even more perfect if we had a pub garden to sit in afterwards.
