Targeted Practices

We are intending holding the following targeted practices in Q4 2024:

• Sunday 08/09/2024 -2-4pm - Goosnargh - Plain Bob Doubles - FULL
• Thursday 03 /10/2024 - 7-8:30pm - Churchtown - Plain Hunt - FULL

• Monday 18/11/2024 - 7-9pm - Bilsborrow - Ringing Up and Down in Peal - FULL

If you would like to join the waiting list for any of our targeted practices please get in touch.

 

We offer a priority booking period to ringers at our affiliated towers. Please read the description/aim of the practices and use the relevant poll in the  STARS WhatsApp Community no later than 8 September to indicate your interest in attending any practices as a learner or availability to attend as a helper.

 

Please Note

We limit learner places at practices, so that everyone gets lots of rope time. Experience has taught us that to allocate  too many places for learners is counterproductive to the aims of the targeted practice.

You must let us know in advance if you are interested in attending so we can confirm whether  we have available space for you to attend the targeted practice.  Priority for places is given to learners whose home tower is one of our affiliated towers in line with our Place Allocation Policy. 

 

Conversely, practices will only go ahead if there are enough attendees (learners and helper) to make it viable and we will let you know in advance if the practice is cancelled for any reason.

 

Advanced Practice/Quarter Peal Attempts

In addition to the targeted practices listed above we are hosting quarter peal attempts on some Sunday afternoons at St Anne's, which also doubles as ringing for the 4:30pm service.  This will replace the Advanced Practices held previously.

We find that the prolonged period of practice that a QP offers really helps to embed a new method.  They are called attempts for a reason, if we don't complete it the first time we can try again!

If you are interested in attempting a QP for your own development or being part of a QP band to support others, please get in touch.
