Just a reminder, that this Monday (2nd Dec) is our next Method Monday.
We are planning to ring touches of St Nicholas Doubles and variable hunt doubles.
Practice time 6 till 7.30 followed by beer and Wetherspoons pizza.
Happy learning.
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.
