Ring a
First in February - Congratulations!
We had a bumper crop of February 'Firsts' this year! Well done to
everyone who achieved a first - we had examples of
firsts in methods, ringing down, treble bobbing, ringing the
treble to a touch, ringing tenor behind, plain hunting on eight,
first touch as conductor and firsts in Quarter Peals. There were
over 50 different ringers taking part in 29 separate
performances which were published on Bell Board as firsts.
The young ringers excelled themselves with some impressive
multiple firsts - the Young Ringers practice at Campton on
8th February shows that each of the eight youngsters rang at
least one first during the afternoon and some went on to do even
more that afternoon and during the month. Well done all of you!
Well done to four ringers who rang their first ever Quarter Peal
- Les MIller - tenor behind to Grandsire Doubles at Silsoe,
Gillian Marshall-Davies - treble to Plain Bob Doubles at Campton,
Dan Warner (young ringer) and Joe Warner (young ringer) -
who both rang the tenor behind to Plain Bob Doubles in separate
Quarters at Maulden. Also a shout out to Paul Clarkson who rang
his first Quarter Peal on a working bell - the treble to
Grandsire Doubles at Bromham.
Although not specifically organised as a February First,
congratulations to Dean De-Matteis who rang his first peal of
Lessness Surprise Major at Campton on 23 Feb BellBoard
The performances have been linked as an event on BellBoard and
reproduced here so you can click on each one and see who rang
what, in order of most recent back to the start of the
month.
If you haven't submitted your first yet please send up to
Bellboard and it'll be linked in due course. If you didn't manage
a First in February this year you've got the whole year to decide
what you want to aim for 2027!
