Daniel Graham Reports from the Southampton St Michael’s Practice Night
An enjoyable and rewarding practice night in Southampton last night at St Michael’s with a particularly good half course of Cambridge Royal and a nice touch of 8 spliced surprise major. Lots of other ringing too including Grandsire Triples/Caters, Stedman doubles and 4 spliced (CYNS) surprise major.
Next week, at Bitterne Park, we start our new venture of increasing our 8 bell repertoire, by starting to work through the methods in ‘Smiths 23’. First method is Cray Surprise Major.
As always all ringers welcome at any of our practices 🙂
CS District 12 Bell Practice – Tim Martin Reports
A successful 12 bell practice for the District tonight with about 20 people present at Christchurch. Good to see a number of people ring things for the first time including plain hunt on 11, stedman caters and Grandsire Cinques.

Andover District Practice at Whitchurch – Mike Winterbourne Reports
Being our only 10 bell tower, we are not as proficient as we would like to be. We managed to ring Plain Hunt Caters with several changes of band including locals and those from other towers, Grandsire Caters sort of came round as did Stedman Caters. The final fling was Kent T B Royal which improved when I improved my counting!
Extra Andover District Practice now at Abbotts Ann on Thursday 22nd September 7:30pm

Lockerley Ringers score Firsts in Minehead
John Palk reports:
In visiting Minehead over the week-end Bren and I were just placed on ropes, without being told what we were ringing, as is Andrew’s way.
We then rang plain courses of PB10 and Grandsire Carters followed by Bren inside to Stedman Caters with me on the tenor (the Stedman may not be a first as we have rung it on the course at Hursley!).

Reminder – An Introduction to Ringing on Higher Numbers – Feb 20th
With Christmas behind us, the Education Committee is turning its attention to the 2016 courses – starting with AN INTRODUCTION TO RINGING ON HIGHER NUMBERS. This is scheduled for Saturday 20th February, 3.30 pm to 8.00 pm in the Winchester area, finishing at the Cathedral.
The posters and application forms went out well before Christmas (further copies below in case they have been mislaid) and I’m delighted to say we have already had a number of applicants. If this is something you have been contemplating, or if you know of somebody else in your Tower who is thinking about it, can I suggest you make your application sooner rather than later, as places are filled on a “first come first served” basis – the closing date for the receipt of applications is 4th February.
Thank you very much – and a Happy New Year to you all.

PS: There will be more information within the next few days on the next full-day course, which will be Plain Hunt and Trebling to Doubles Methods, Saturday 19th March.

An Introduction to Ringing on Higher Numbers – Feb 20th
The Education Committee is happy say the course which was unfortunately postponed last September is now scheduled to take place on Saturday 20th February, from 3.30 pm to 8.00 pm, based in the Winchester area and finishing at Winchester Cathedral.
This is your chance to try something different. If you are used to ringing on six or eight bells and do not normally ring on ten or more bells, this is an ideal opportunity. Don’t worry – you won’t be expected to learn any 10-bell methods; this is very much an introduction to ringing good rounds, call changes, plain hunt and, possibly, Plain Bob or Grandsire; don’t let that frighten you off as you will not be pushed out of your depth.
We are only able to accept a limited number of students – so think about it now!
