Practices have mainly been held at Hart Street although we have had other practices at various towers including Cripplegate, Shoreditch, Aldgate, St Sep’s, St Martin’s, Limehouse and St Mary le Bow. The ringing at practices has ranged from practice at basic bell handling techniques to surprise maximus with a few society members attempting both at the same time! Sunday morning ringing has been reasonably well attended at Hart Street this year with at least 6 and on occasions even surprise major being rung! Other Sunday ringing has taken place in our slots at Shoreditch, St Clement Danes and St Bart’s, Smithfield.
