Elementary Groups
GROUP A ROUNDS AND CALL CHANGES
The starting point for this group is the ability to ring rounds. Depending on the quality of their bell control some students may find that the experience of ringing rounds with a strong band is sufficiently rewarding. Others may make their first steps in call changes and then, possibly, in change ringing on three or four bells.
GROUP B ELEMENTARY CHANGE RINGING
A Group for those who can plain hunt on 3 or 4 or 5 bells a little, to give practice at plain hunting on different rings of bells and in different orders both on the treble and inside. This Group will be learning ropesight (including looking and striking) as an essential preliminary to ringing the treble to Plain Bob. Practice will be given at ringing the treble to Bastow Minimus and Doubles and to Bob Minimus.
GROUP C PLAIN HUNT ON FIVE
For those who want to learn to ring the treble to plain hunting on five bells. Starts will be from 12345 at first then from other orders. Ideal for students who have some experience of hunting on five already, but need to improve their bell-control, ropesight and striking before trying to ring Plain Bob inside. There may opportunities to ring Plain Bob inside for those who show they have made progress in these areas.
