Quarter Peals are an excellent way of getting extended practice for a particular method or several methods. We can arrange for an experienced band to ring with you to help you achieve your ringing targets. Quarter peals normally are rung at Huntsham on the first Wednesday evening of each month.
Proposed dates for 2015 are: Feb 4th, March 4th, April 8th, May 6th, June 3rd.
If you would like us to organise a quarter peal for you,
please contact Sheila Scofield . . .

BESPOKE TRAINING & PRACTICES
Events can be arranged for tower bands or groups of ringers with the same needs e.g. raising or lowering in peal or starting to plain hunt. These can be arranged to take place either:
A key requirement is that the individual ringers in towers or groups can commit to attending the sessions which are arranged. Help from others can be arranged where a tower is short of experienced ringers. Courses can be run in the daytime or evening, weekdays or weekends, subject to the availability of tutors, the Centre bells and helping ringers.
Please contact Les Boyce to discuss your requirements and arrangements for meeting these.
All ringers are invited to make contact for any of the
events above or for general ringing information, to book the Bampton practice
bell for individual sessions or to bring a band to Huntsham for open ringing.
