I can confirm this pra ctice is going ahead (as at Sunday, 9th March). Repetoire will be tailored to attendees.
Method of the m oment: Jovium surprise major (https://rsw.me.uk/blueline/methods/view/Jovium_S urprise_Major)
The main focus of these practices remains the Core 7 methods either individually or spliced depending on attendance.
Fo r those ringers with a wider repetoire, I would like to ensure Belfast and Glasgow are more regularly incorporated so please do refresh these if you n eed to ahead of the practice. For those new to Belfast, there will be an op portunity to ring three leads subject to attendance if you want to give it a shot (this can be rung so that many bells repeat the same lead three time s).
Simon Linford's great book on the Core 7 and beyond is found here https://www.ringingworld.co.uk/purchase/shop/the-core-seve n-and-beyond.html
The idea is to try and improve the success rate and striking accuracy in the Core 7 methods and it would be very much appr eciated if where possible attendees do a little extra homework in advance, to help ensure we peform our best on the night. There will also be an enhan ced effort to ensure more optimal band placement. Stedman triples will also be rung when appropriate.
Please get in touch (This email address is being protected from spam bots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) if there is anything in particular you would like to ring.
I appreciate there are a lot of methods mentioned here and the intention i s not to overwhelm I promise! If you are taking your first steps into ringi ng surprise major, you are most welcome, just let me know what you are work ing on (Cornwall, go on, you know you want to!).
There won't be an op portunity to ring everything at each practice and I will respond to emails in advance or requests on the night.
