On Tuesday 19th January 4 branch members, 1 former branch member and 3 recruits headed for Islip and the first “special” practice of the year.<\/p>\n
We started with rounds for the more recent recruits and then progressed to Plain Hunt on 5 for Becky.<\/p>\n
Next we rang a touch of Grandsire Doubles – this didn’t go exactly to plan (the conductor miscalled it and had to swiftly recompose to get it back round .. much to the amusement of Willy Haynes!).<\/p>\n
Next we had more rounds before Becky had her first attempt at Plain Hunt on 6 (successful!).<\/p>\n
After more rounds before Sue left, we rang some plain courses of Grandsire Doubles with Becky having her first attempt on the treble (having watched earlier) – with Teresa as a minder. It went well so plenty of homework to look at in the coming weeks \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
We finished with a short touch of Grandsire Doubles with Sally half-hunt before heading to the Red Lion to help our branch president celebrate his birthday.<\/p>\n
A few regulars were unable to attend so we didn’t try our nominated methods (PB Minor and Winchendon Place) but it was a useful practice nonetheless.<\/p>\n
The next branch event is (again) at Islip – the February branch practice – a slight change from the advertised schedule to allow Kirtlington’s ringing room floor to be fixed before we visit in March.<\/p>\n
