Three students and 10 helpers met at Old Wolverton on a beautiful sunny afternoon for an introduction to hunting the treble to a method and Bob doubles. After introductions over refreshments each student was given the opportunity to ring the treble to a plain course of bob doubles to assess how they could make the most of the session. This was followed by a short theory talk on why methods are rung, some terminology and the basic structure of Bob doubles. Then each student was given the opportunity to ring either the method from a number of different bells or hunting the treble to the method, each time surrounded by an enthusiastic band of helpers.
Each student made good progress and after an end of course debrief and an opportunity to ask questions they were able to take away with them not only some worksheets to help with a greater understanding of bob doubles but also an increased confidence to keep practicing the method back at their home towers.
Many thanks to Mick Nimmo and the team at Old Wolverton for provding the bells and the refreshments and also to all the helpers who came along. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.
