First blows of treble dodging major: 1

"I said I'm not ringing a quarter so I was told we'd just ring a short touch. After 15 mins Jerome managed to make a call to Seb to ask about the pasta because we thought someone here might have been tasked with it. Several bobs later and we were told not to fire it out by the conductor. Becky and Anna boiled in their fleeces. Becky has now rung her first first blows treble dodging on 8 and first qp of treble dodging on 8!" - Annabelle F Frost.
