On Wed 6th June 12 ringers from 6 towers met for the Branch practice at Middleton Stoney.
\nWe started with call changes where I confused the locals by calling up instead of calling down…a discussion of the relative merits of both ways followed \ud83d\ude42
\nWe then rang plain courses of Grandsire which the local band are working on. The tower captain then encouraged us to try something more advanced so she rang the treble to a touch of Plain bob minor – something she hadn’t rung for many years.
\nMore call changes and some plain hunt on 5 – Ann obviously isn’t challenged enough by call changes any more and managed ok .. well done \ud83d\ude42
\nWe then had more plain courses of Grandsire with Jen ‘inside’.
\nAt this point my mobile found a signal and went mad delivering 30+ text messages about a power cut at work – I left Jeremy to organise ringing ‘something’ and down whilst I hunted for a strong enough signal to make some calls.
\nAs most of the branch officers were present we held a short business meeting at the end to discuss proposals for the rehanging of Oddington which have been unringable for many years – we decided to support the proposal by offering to cover 10% of the costs from branch funds.
\nNext practice is at Islip in 2 weeks so hope to see lots of ringers there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
