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

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

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

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

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

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
