8 of us last night, which gave us the chance to have a couple of goes at Glasgow, which were successful at long last. With Ed tackling Cambridge S. Major along with a touch of Stedman Triples and a practice for the upcoming striking competition in May nr York, a busy night brought to an end at The Sportsman.
Congratulations to the peal band last Sunday completing their Stedman Caters in 3hr and 14minutes.

Following the Western Branch AGM we have again been asked to represent the branch in the 8 bell striking competition in May. The test piece this year is 224 changes of Little Bob Major. We are also assembling a band for the 12 bell White Rose Competition in October at Bradford.
Alan managed to climb the tower to have a ring with us for the first time in 7 weeks while his leg heals. With the extra hands we could attempt Cambridge Royal and Glasgow Major along with Superlative, Stedman and Grandsire Caters.
We have a visiting band coming Sunday for a peal attempt good luck to them.

Tonight's practice night ringing.

1296 Cambridge Surprise Minor rung at Huddersfield (St Peter), West Yorkshire

26/02/2025

Following last week's practice which was held at Lindley due to people's commitments a quarter peal of Bristol Surprise Major was scored on Sunday ringing for the evening service.

Last night's practice was limited to 8 ringers so a quarter peal of Stedman Triples was attempted. Despite the majority of the ringing being struck excellently the attempt did not come round successfully I will admit as it was my birthday I think I got out of place due to the excitement of the occasion!

1280 Bristol Surprise Major rung at Huddersfield (St Peter), West Yorkshire

12/02/2025

A different kind of practice tonight, folk held up in traffic, Alan still unable to ring and a bit of maintenance required on the 3rd bell meant that we concentrated on ringing 6 bell methods. We managed quite a variety though ringing London, Beverley, Primrose and a touch of Original and a touch of Stedman Doubles.

Next week we will be practicing on Tuesday at Lindley rather than Huddersfield Parish to combine the two practices.

Unfortunately a recent injury to my left ankle has meant i will be incapacitated for a number of weeks, nevertheless everyone else has been wonderful in carrying on. Alex has taken up to run the practices starting well with touches of Stedman Triples, Spliced Surprise Major, Superlative and Glasgow. Some nice ringing before relaxing in The Sportsman.
Smiths of Derby will be in attendance on Friday to service the clock.

Back on track tonight, with most folk either better from illness or family commitments we were just 2 down as they were watching Town. We also entertained a visitor from Austria who used to be an Almondbury ringer before emigrating.
Our concentration was mainly on Stedman which Ed managed both a plain course and touch of Triples plus a plain course of Caters. Our visitor covered on the tenor couple of times plus ringing inside to Plain Bob Caters and on 10 Plain and Little Bob.
Our highlight was getting back onto Glasgow Major which went well and couple of leads of spliced with Belfast.
