On Saturday 22nd April at 7:30pm, a quarter peal of Cambridge Surprise Minor was successfully completed for St George and for Shakespeare’s birthday. Also with best wishes to Robin Peers, the tower captain at Fownhope, for a full and speedy recovery.

Congratulations to Barbara for her first quarter of Cambridge in a while and to Anne for her first quarter of treble bob.

Cam­bridge is the most com­monly rung Sur­prise Minor method, but ringing Cam­bridge is a big step-up from plain meth­ods like Plain Bob or Grand­sire. Treble bobbing is a pattern that the treble (highest bell in pitch) follows for more complicated methods, such as Surprise Minor.
