Hampreston Monday Funday (March 2015 Quarter Peal Day)
Another busy quarter peal day for ringers from the East Dorset Branch. First, congratulations to Paul on scoring his 50th Quarter and first of St. Simons Doubles. Congratulations go also to Richard scoring his first on eight at Bryanston. Others were: first of All Saints doubles for Kate and Mike; and first Helen Bob minor for Tom, Gay, Tricia and Sally.
We attempted two others: the St Nicholas Doubles lasted the required number of changes but the band decided not to count it as it was not up to our usual standard; and the Plain and Little Spliced would not splice.
Sally has been sub contracted to arrange the April event and has already contacted regular members. You are in excellent hands as she is a dab hand at arranging monthly quarter peals at Swanage. See you all at the May Monday Funday.
