Exciting day at MRDC. Not only did we have Stedman Club at lunchtime but this evening we had a practice and in the first 30 mins we’d rung Deva, Bristol & Spliced Stedman/Bristol. Plus the management committee met so we’ve more exciting plans for future projects.

That’s given me a few ideas.

Looking for something during half term?

Come and try bellringing and watch our rope making demonstrations.

It was a busy session. The Plain Bob beforehand seemed to whizz by in a blur. The most singles I’ve rung before a sandwich AND THEN found myself in charge on the big scary bells for the memorial service so I made them ring Stedman on the big uns. Tobes was in his element.

Radio Norfolk have been in MRDC as part of their ‘Try January’
We talked about the history of ringing in Norwich and a quick lesson proved he was a natural.

So much fun!! Loved it today. The spliced was a surprise!

Stedman Club today. Some excellent plain courses, Qs and some doubles. A whole hour of Stedman, it just can’t get better. Tomorrow it’s solo practice on the simulator, get extra time on the rope with no nagging.

It’s Wednesday which means Young Ringers followed by the Students. Huge fun and everything seems to happen so much faster.
We are always ready to welcome any newbies along.
See you at 5.30pm.
