We're a small village team of ringers Great Gransden Bellringers but with huge enthusiasm and energy. Practice this evening included tenor behind for Tricia, Hazel calling her own composition of calling changes, G5 for David and backstrokes for a new ringer, Mirjam. Well done everyone.

Good practice Great Gransden Bellringers this evening. PB5 for Haze and Sue with Tricia ringing the tenor. Our new learner, Mirjam (Miriam), rang backstroke to Rounds, and I tried out my new smart selfie gimbal during some warm up rounds. One more practice before our AGM.

Another away day as our church was being used by the local amdram group for a dress rehearsal of Time Travellers for which we shall be ringing for at the weekend. We travelled to the Cambridge District to Bourn for our practice. A tricky 8 but everyone coped well.

A super evening with Great Gransden Bellringers visiting St.Neots (10, 29cwt) on their practice night. We were in charge! Rounds, call changes on 10, a bit of GTs and PB5. Oh, and a course of Cambridge6 for the helpers.

Visitors with goodies from the Isle of Mann visited us tonight. It was good to welcome Cheryl back whom we taught to ring a long time ago. Busy practice, PB5, PH5, G5 CCs and rounds so that everyone had a good go.

A very busy practice last night with 14 attendees. We discussed our mini tour coming up on Saturday, and our AGM to be held during practice next week when TC will try to keep it as brief as possible (no cashews or beer this year!)
