Ringing only mediocre, with a few good spells but too many poor periods. Plenty of room for improvement.

Ringing started reasonably well. A slight hiccup when the conductor called Bob and then immediately corrected himself. I caused a few problems at 3-4 down singles, my rope sight was lacking because I was not following the bell making seconds when I was making thirds. I was relying on my counting which caused the striking to be a little more wayward than normal. The conductor ensured I kept in control on each occasion. The time passed quickly which is always a good sign that the ringers are enjoying themselves.

Thanks again to Ian for keeping us together.



First Quarter Peal:          All ringers have completed numerous Quarters to date.

Multiple Quarter Peals:    Ringers have completed too many Quarters to count.

Weather :  Cold and damp, little wind.
Ropes   :  Slightly Damp and very slightly stiff.
