The 1st Tuesday of every month is the Surrey Association Open 10 & 12 Bell Practice, held at Croydon Minster. This practice is designed to cater for those wanting to build up their experience of ringing on Higher Numbers. Rounds on 12, Plain Hunt on 9/11 are always featured. Grandsire & Stedman Caters is also common. If numbers permit we also ring Cinques.   

Meet at West Door for 19:45.

Parking available outside the Church, plenty of Bus/Tram access from East & West Croydon stations, closest tram stops are Church Street and Reeves Corner 

For ringers who can (just about) ring Plain Hunt, introductory method ringing with others of a similar standard. Simple minimus and doubles methods as progression towards touches of Plain Bob Doubles, Grandsire Doubles and beyond. £3 per session. Register interest in advance at ranmorebells@gmail.com

If you are confident ringing touches of Plain Bob Doubles on an inside bell, then you will gain a lot by learning the St Simons group of doubles and others which are based on PBD. 

This will take what you have learned to a higher level and will provide valuable techniques for future change ringing.
