Leave a comment
Dear All,
This coming Monday (7th Oct) is our next ‘Method Monday’.
The methods this month will concentrate on Touches of Little Bob Minor, we will also attempt Plain courses of Cambridge.
Plain hunters – Try ringing the treble to Little Bob Minor (it only goes upto 4th place). Intermediate ringers have a look at treble bob hunt.
We will also be ringing rounds and call changes in between the methods. If this is your level, have a look at calling a few changes.
See you all on Monday 6 – 7.30, followed by beer and Wetherspoons Pizza.
Kim
Method Monday starting at 6:00pm

SACRED HEART, BOURNEMOUTH: UPDATE & GLAD TIDINGS OF WEDDING BELLS!

Leave a comment

Our bells/sliders/clappers have come home at last.

Monday night practices resume from 6:00pm until 7.30pm, followed by beer.

There will be no specific Method Monday for September (October as normal), as it will just be great to get everything back up and running again. BUT we will try to ring several touches of Little Bob Minor!

Also huge congratulations to Ben and Hannah, who have just announced their engagement.

Methods to look up for the Bournemouth Sacred Heart Practice Monday 23rd July

Leave a comment

Its seems we are going to have several visitors this evening, so…
Can I suggest we all look up Cambridge and put the visitors to work?
Also for the treble ringers, have a look at treble bob hunt there will be people to stand behind.
This is all on top of Little Bob Minor and touches of Reverse Canterbury which we discussed last week.
See you all at 6.
