Rung in Memory of Russell Cook, much loved member of the Parish and the community during his whole life and a Licensed Lay Minister in the Parish, who died suddenly on Friday.
Rung on bells 2,3 and 6 with ringers of 2 and 3 being a family/household bubble for Covid-19 purposes.
Having rung a 2-bell method previously, ringer 1 challenged ringer 2 to produce some variety. So, the following methods were rung in addition to Cambridge;
Gresley Loco (x12.12) named as it has 3 leads and lies 3 blows for Gresley valve gear on a 3-cylinder steam locomotive such as New South Wales Railways 57 class
Why? (x12xx12.12)
Because (x12xx12.12x12.12xx12)
Pandemic (x12xx12)
Mask (xxx12) Also called treble two by Chris Higgins.
Plain Bob (x12)
Cross See CCCBR methods library.
Thankyou to Simon Chadwick for ideas of some methods and potential for naming 2 bell methods as "Micromus".
First blows in all methods except Cambridge.
