IMPROVING AND EMBEDDING
PLAIN BOB DOUBLES

AIMS OF THE DAY

  1. HInts, tips & techniques to help improve confident bell handling and accurate striking : good grip, long, straight pull from shoulders, tight rope.
  2. A different approach to call changes by counting 'beats in the bar' instead of ringing "over" a different bell. Open handstrokes, careful listening and counting places.
  3. Listening and ringing by rhythm : break away from 'who should I pull after ?' and get a better feel for
    'when shall I pull ?'
  4. Plain hunting and plain bob doubles counting places and varying the rate of pull.
  5. Some ideas about teaching change ringing in small, easy steps
