Surprise Minor Social

Sunday 1 June 2025, 2.30-4pm

Cotterstock

A reminder for you to join us for a surprise minor social this Sunday.

Methods are Cambridge and Primrose. It’s a great opportunity to practice surprise ringing and for those who can treble bob hunt.

We are asking for a donation of £2 for each ringer so we can give some money to the church/ tower for each social ring or workshop. It would be ideal if you can bring some cash with you but we should have a card reader.

Please let us know if you are able to attend so we can provide enough refreshments!

Striking Workshop

Sunday 11 May, 2-4pm

Wadenhoe

If you are a ringer who can comfortably ring plain hunt 6 and know you could improve your striking, this workshop could be for you.

We are limited to 6 ringers because of the format of the session. You will each get several rings of PH6 and depending on your repertoire that may mean you ring something else. The session is designed to allow you to concentrate on placing your bell as much as what you are ringing.

Please contact us if you would like to attend. Ringers will be accepted on a first come first served basis but we will have a reserve list.

Please reply to Jane if you would like to come.

My apologies that this was missed off the original list of dates.
