On Friday 21st March the University of Buckingham had the annual graduation ceremonies for those successfully completing their degrees. The ceremony is at SS Peter and Paul’s church in Buckingham and after each ceremony the bells are rung.<\/p>\n
As I work for the University I am able to help out with graduation and this year was able to hep form the band that rang for the multiple ceremonies. The bells at Buckingham are a little on the heavy side so a strong band is required to make a good sound, and this year we had a better band than for last year. At the morning ceremony we rang a touch of Grandsire Triples and a touch of Plain Bob Triples, and the afternoon ceremony we just rang a touch of Grandsire Triples. The striking for both ceremonies was rather good and I felt pleased that I had been able to ring touches of both methods as I get little practice at this level of ringing these days..though the Bicester branch capabilities are improving so long may that trend continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
