We are pleased to have a number of new ringers, so our practices give priority to assimilating them into the band. Be prepared for lots of rounds and call-changes!

 

Simulator Practices

 

Saltaire has a simulator which allows the bells to be rung without any sound being heard outside the tower. Our practices start at 11 am, with a break for lunch, and end mid-afternoon. For further details contact Robert Appleby (details on Location/Contact Page).

 

On Thursday 10th February 2011 we started to learn the Oxford Treble Bob Group comprising London Scholars Pleasure Treble Bob, Sandal TB, Capel TB, and Kingston TB. We have extended since to include College Exercise Group. It is recommended that ringers attending obtain the booklet "An Introduction to Ringing Multi-Method Spliced Treble Bob Minor" by Michael Foulds, obtainable from the Whiting Society of Ringers at www.whitingsociety.org
