On Friday 10th April 11 ringers from 5\u00a0 branch towers came together to ring the heaviest set of bells in the branch. Ambrosden only has one resident ringer so it was nice to hear them rung.
\nAfter a shaky ring up we started with rounds to help the lesser experienced used to the bells – there is a long draught to get used to as well as the weight of the bells.
\nNext we rang plain courses of Grandsire Doubles on the back 6 before more Grandsire on the front bells.
\nWe moved on to a touch of Plain bob Doubles and then call changes.
\nNext we had a couple of courses of Plain Bob Minor on the back bells – have to admit the ringing master enjoyed turning in the tenor!
\nWe rang some more Grandsire on the front 6 with bobs this time before the last set of call changes.<\/p>\n
Thanks to a number of experienced ringers standing behind learners it was a good teaching practice and great experience for all ringing heavier bells.
\nThe next branch event is the branch outing on Saturday 18th April – details on the website.<\/p>\n
