a night on Jersey

I was delighted to receive an email from Justin inviting me to a handling evening on Jersey. Richard came and led a handbell breakaway group in the vestry while Justin revised the theory of handling using a model bell and a slow motion video of ringing – & following the LtR students handbook – ready for the practical session which I took. Each of the 4 youngsters in attendance improved their understanding of good handling & their performance on the end of the rope. I look forward to ringing with them again in Jersey in April. Thanks for having me – HMMcG

Alderney news

The Alderney ringers are delighted to record that June Banister has passed the highest level of the Learning the Ropes pathway to success in ringing & is now a qualified Change Ringer. The training scheme was launched 5 years ago – there are only 79 ‘graduates’ so far reaching Level 5 and two of them are on Alderney:-)

Maurice will be enjoying his 93rd birthday on Weds 13th Dec so at practice on Mon 11th we rang 93 changes of Cambridge Minor (SBP(P))before singing ‘Happy Birthday’ and enjoying a slice of birthday cake

what an achievement

Tonight at TC

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

Janice’s first inside

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!
