#BellRinging
Thanks to our friends Mary, Richard & Helen (who stepped in for a poorly Gill), we rang all 8 for a wedding today. The service was a small one & after 2 well struck courses of both G7 & PB7 & getting the bells down, we discovered we were all alone and the church had been locked 😲 #bellringing

Loved ringing in the striking competition yesterday, in football terms we finished mid table #bellringing

Mrs Stedperson was keeping a beady eye on us and was quite content with the expert striking of this morning's 120 Stedman 5. She didn't care that the G5, Cambs 6 and PB6 were just as good #bellringing

Was asked to try Treble Bob Hunting tonight, not a bad first go #bellringing

Bob Doubles really good tonight, Grandsire a struggle but persevering and had a go ringing Treble to Little Bob #bellringing

Wow. 23 people at the monthly Branch Afternoon Practice at Brightwell today, including 3 Guild officers and 3 folks from out of Branch. We rang everything from R&CC to a half a course of Cambs 8. I'm off for a lie down after herding that lot, but I think folks enjoyed themselves #bellringing

Grateful to these guys tonight who rang and rang all night to help others. Call changes for 2 who are still trying to learn places, speed changes and who to follow. And 3 touches of PB5 so TW could learn to call & RP could tenor behind b4 his quarter attempt in 2 weeks. Thanks guys #bellringing

Now my son has started bellringing - and by default me too- I have more of an appreciation of how hard this is.

A little tired after last night so to save me thinking we rang alternating PB6 and Cambs 6 for service. Pic is of Dave who took the Cambs 6 so seriously that he had to take his jumper off. Back for 1/4 attempt later so bells left up, but Teifi led an epic raise 👏 #bellringing

Mr and I were helpers today on a Branch training session on raising and lowering in peal held at Drayton. Everyone did so well and had the opportunity to ring up and down at least twice #bellringing

Fun little practice at Blewbury tonight where the boys were outnumbered being only Richard and Mr,in a room full of women. A few visitors so lots of relaxed demonstrations of rounds and a few goes for them on backstrokes. We also rang PB6, Stedman 5, Norwich 6, Cambs 6 and Grandsire 7 #bellringing

Some practices you don't ring your best but you keep plodding and attempting things #bellringing

No, not at this time. I'm on a break from bellringing at the moment 💕

A few folks cancelled last minute so the plan I had made for tonight had to be modified. Thanks to these lovely fellas, Graham and Duncan, we did manage to get a reasonable course of Cambs 6. We also rang R&CC, G5 and Treble Bob Hunting. The Stedman 5 wasn't so great though #bellringing
September 15, 2026 at 8:20 PM
Good start to the weeks ringing, called some plain hunt 5 and rang some Bob Doubles #bellringing
September 14, 2026 at 8:15 PM
There weren't many of us this morning but those who were there rang two 120's of Stedman Doubles, alternating with courses of Cambridge Minor. Very good standard of #bellringing

Called some changes tonight and didn't do too badly #bellringing
September 10, 2026 at 9:16 PM
After a summer of cancelled practices got to ring touches of Bob and Grandsire Doubles tonight and I remembered quite a bit #bellringing

No bats 🦇 in our belfry, we probably scared them off with our attempts at Norwich 😧 We did better at touches of S5 & G5, TB Hunting and learning one lead of Bourne at a time going in to Little Bob. Richard did well in practicing his tenor behind ready for his quarter attempt next month #bellringing
