Mike Winterbourne Reports from the September Andover District Practice
We had a good attendance which allowed some ringers to attempt Grandsire Triples, Stedman Triples and Plain Bob Major to increase their knowledge range and get practice on 8 bells.
A touch of Double Norwich Court Bob Major came round giving us practice to support the Education Day Saturday 19th November. Double Norwich is a very interesting step away from Plain Bob and Little Bob Major Certainly worth a day getting to grips with it.
We managed to get a course of Superlative S Major to end in nearly the right place a step forward for several of the band.

Mike Winterbourne Reports from the Monthly Practice at Hurstbourne Priors
The Hurstbourne Priors August practice was well attended in August with plenty of support from the organising tower St Mary Bourne and other district towers supplying competent ringers and those hoping to progress from – Kingsclere, Nether Wallop, Tangley and Woolton Hill.
Methods attempted and predominantly coming round were Grandsire Triples, Little Bob Major, Spliced Plain & Little Bob Major, Cambridge S Major and Superlative S Major. Now all we need is for the local pub to open again.
Usually on the 4th Thursday but check with Helen Thomas:
C&S District Surprise Major Practice Report August 2016
17 ringers met this evening and rang London, Superlative, Cambridge, Yorkshire, Bristol and a smattering of Spliced.
Some of the usual people were missing but numbers remained strong as we were joined by holidaymakers.
Four Guilds were represented – Salisbury and W&P as usual, plus Guildford and Chester.
