Thanks to Marcia Dieppe of Cookham Berks, whose visit today gave us the full complement of 12 for pre-service ringing. After post-service ringing, an enjoyable and productive all-afternoon anniversary peal practice, ending with a QP of PB Caters -- all followed by a delightful multi-course dinner hosted by Jeremy. A good day to be a ringer at Trinity! |

March is off to a good start, with a full day of ringing. Service ringing was modified (at the Vicar's request) to allow for the Season of Lent. Some of what was implemented included having the sound controls partially engaged (making the bells sound somewhat subdued and distant), and ringing in the Dorian mode rather a diatonic major scale - achieved with the #4 as the treble and the #11 as the tenor. Three successful quarter-peals were rung in the afternoon, including Erin Cinques, Rutland Surprise Major and Plain Bob Triples. The day's ringing concluded with Jeremy's annual dinner party at his nearby apartment. |

A lot of ringers away for the event in Charleston SC, and others unable to ring for other reasons, but with Norman Brock visiting from Carlisle, England and simultaneously ringing the 1 and the 2, we managed triples in addition to doubles and minor for today's service ringing. |

This week's practice was visited by Ella Morton, associate editor of "Atlas Obscura," described online as a "definitive guidebook and friendly tour-guide to the world's most wondrous places." Ms. Morton is writing an article about bell-ringing. |

One of the worst snowstorms in New York's history didn't silence the bells for service ringing today. With Colin Friend and Louise Booth visiting from London, we rang uncovered doubles for the pre-service, and Stedman and Plain Bob minimus for post-service. Thanks Colin and Louise! |
