For the past season, we have been working on 3 separate tasks.

1. Ring a quarter peal of Bob Major
2. Ring a plain course of Kent Major
3. Continue to teach our new ringer

Our new ringer was not in attendance tonight, and so we started ringing a long course of Bob Major. Maggie on the trebles, Randy on 3/4, Jane on 5/6, Andrew on the tenors calling the course. Andrew has a quarter peal in mind. We didn’t complete the quarter tonight. And in fact, crashed in the middle of the third course. Since we are on handbells, we figured out where we could pick it up, and continued on. We made it through a couple more courses before Randy swapped his bells, and so it came to rounds much too soon. So we decided to change course.

And decided to see if we could ring Kent Major, which we haven’t attempted in a few weeks. Maggie on the trebles, Jane on 3/4, Andrew on 5/6, and Randy on the tenors. We were very happy to get to the end of the plain course without needing to stop and regroup! We call that a result. Yes, the last lead was a bit rough. But we powered through, and it came to rounds. Yay!!
