Branch Practice
5 April @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
The April all-comers practice will be at Aldermaston Friday April 5th, 7:30pm.
The 8 bells here have had some repairs and renovation work completed in the last few months so I’m looking forward to seeing how they go now.
There are a number of methods called ‘Aldermaston’. The simplest of these is Single Aldermaston Bob Major. This is just the same as Plain Bob major, but instead of dodging in 7-8 you make places. 2 blows in 7ths followed by 3 in 8ths instead of a 7-8 dodge up, and 3 blows in 8ths followed by 2 in 7ths for 7-8 down. The start for the 7th is to make one more blow in 7ths then go in; for the 8th make two more blows in 8ths then go in. This swaps 7 and 8 over right at the start, so the ringing will sound a bit different from normal.
Other methods will be available, of course!
Parking for the church is in the grounds of Aldermaston Court.
