Method of the moment: Jovium surprise major (https://rsw.me.uk/blueline/met hods/view/Jovium_Surprise_Major)
The main focus of these practice s remains the Core 7 methods either individually or spliced depending on at tendance.
For those ringers with a wider repetoire, I would like to e nsure Belfast and Glasgow are more regularly incorporated so please do refr esh these if you need to ahead of the practice. For those new to Belfast, t here will be an opportunity to ring three leads subject to attendance if yo u want to give it a shot (this can be rung so that many bells repeat the sa me lead three times).
Simon Linford's great book on the Core 7 and be yond is found here https://www.ringingworld.co.uk/purchase/ shop/the-core-seven-and-beyond.html
The idea is to try and improv e the success rate and striking accuracy in the Core 7 methods and it would be very much appreciated if where possible attendees do a little extra hom ework in advance, to help ensure we peform our best on the night. There wil l also be an enhanced effort to ensure more optimal band placement. Stedman triples will also be rung when appropriate.
Please get in touch (
I appreciate there are a lot of methods mentioned here a nd the intention is not to overwhelm I promise! If you are taking your firs t steps into ringing surprise major, you are most welcome, just let me know what you are working on (Cornwall, go on, you know you want to!).
Th ere won't be an opportunity to ring everything at each practice and I will respond to emails in advance or requests on the night.
