Thank you Duncan for this challenge. Without it we would never have pushed ourselves to try so many new things, most of which we seem to have achieved.  Loved it. And still a couple of weeks to go.

Well done to Olivia, Aaron and Janice for scoring firsts this month. Good luck with your attempts over the next couple of weeks!

Great to visit TC tonight – we rang triples and major all evening – plain hunt on 7, touches of plain bob triples & bob major, some treble bobbing on 8 & attempted St Clements bob major too:-) All very supportive, friendly & constructive – difficult to imagine a better way to spend an evening (unless of course you were on Alderney). Thanks for having me – HMMcG

Town Church ringers were delighted to help Janice score her first QP ringing an inside bell today.

She rang the third bell to Plain Bob Doubles and rang confidently throughout.

This was also the first QP to be linked to New Method November – I hope there will be a few more over the coming weeks!

Setting up a full programme of training for the Alderney ringers was easy with so many great ringers on hand to strengthen the bands. Training was split between St Anne’s and Wells Bells – the new Channel Islands’ Ringing Centre. Over the week we ‘christened’ Wells Bells with a peal of Wells Delight with the band including John & June Wells. Then June ring her first plain course of bob max. Aaron scored his first quarter of treble bobbing on 8 in fine style as the band rang 8 spliced, Victoria rang her first qtr surprise major (Cambridge), Donald rang a qtr on the treble for bob triples & June rang the treble for a qtr of Grandsire triples. We rang a lovely peal of Grandsire triples which contained 2 first pealers – June on treble and Aaron on the tenor. We scored some very useful ‘revision’ quarters too – bob royal, 2 qtrs of Yorkshire major & another 8 spliced major meant everyone achieved something. Our regular practice night was far more interesting than usual and both our Sunday Service ringing & WW1 commemorative half-muffled ringing were all much more ‘professional’. There was much talk of Alderney becoming the new Lundy now we have an obviously available & very fine ring of 12 plus Wells Bells – we are waiting for the first enquiry
