Handbells - Method

Handbells - Method

This evening Harry Blamire came over to have a go at ringing method on handbells.  We started by looking at the different patterns and then had a go at plain hunt.  We managed to get plain hunt going quite smoothly!  We also tried Bob Minor.  Myself on the trebles, Tim on 3-4 and Harry on the Tenors.  After a few goes we managed to get through a plain course.  We kept persevering and managed to get through it a few times with a few mistakes here and there!!
