This is the most differentiated practice with 3 teachers/helpers and a maximum 6 students.    We cover ringing techniques and listening by using IT to set Targets such as leading, covering, plain hunting and recently touches of Plain Bob Doubles – the important thing is that the students can set their own Targets.   At the moment this is full but if you are interested or, more importantly, know another ringer who might improve in this environment then email District Master Paul Beeken to be put on the reserve list: sdmaster:surreybellringers.co.uk

Practical sessions for calling and conducting simple methods and touches (plain bob, little bob, grandsire...doubles and minor) with the theory as well. Others also welcome to just ring the methods (to act as 'guinea pigs'!).

On the 2nd Friday of every month at Nutfield.
