After ringing up, the team rang some plain courses of Bob Doubles, then plain courses of Bob Minor with Ann and Teresa inside.<\/p>\n
We then rang a 100 \u2013 \u00a0change touch of Bob Doubles with Stephen on four, successfully completing it at the second attempt.<\/p>\n
More Plain Bob Doubles, with Gareth ringing observation on 5, with Jeremy standing and then\u00a0a touch of Grandsire Doubles, with Gareth on Treble, which went reasonably.<\/p>\n
We then rang \u00a0a touch of Plain Bob Minor with Ann, Joyce and Jeremy inside, called by Charles, which also went quite well.<\/p>\n
Finally we rang a touch of Grandsire Doubles with Gareth ringing half-hunt on 5, your correspondent standing and calling, before we rang down in peal. A pretty good practice with plenty for everyone.<\/p>\n
