Peter Ostley opened up for us at St Andrew, Cobham, with a beautifully behaved 9cwt ground floor ring of 8.<br />
<br />

Our next stop was <b>St Giles, Ashtead,</b> set in a lovely rural plot at the end of a short entrance drive. Sarah Huck met us here. The pretty ringing room with padded bench is up a few steps and the wrought iron balcony overlooks the nave of the church. A nice set of polished handbells hangs in a glass case. The 12cwt ring of 8 were appreciated by all.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lunch at Cheam was next on the agenda. There was a reasonably priced pay & display car park next to the church and within easy walking distance of local hostelries.<br />

After lunch it was only a short walk to <b>St Dunstan, Cheam</b> to ring on the 9cwt ring of 6, where Peter ? was waiting to let us in. A few surprises here as Iain was looking after this tower!<br />

<b>The 2013 outing members (less Sally)</b><br />
<br />
Next off to St Martin of Tours, Epsom, for the highlight of the day. We had half an hour to kill before we could ring due to a choir practice so we went into the town for a welcome cup of tea, and because someone told the owner that it was Iain's birthday we were given complimentary pancakes! We promised to ring the church bells for her in 10 minutes.<br />
Ros Hallett let us into the tower with a lovely 16cwt ring of 10. Adam led up all 10 for a very nice raise from a band, for some of whom it was their first experience on 10 bells. Call changes, plain hunt on 9 and grandsire caters all went well on these well behaved and easy to ring bells, (sorry Sally you missed a treat).<br />

I spotted the tenor clapper pin working its way out last week (shown above) so it was clapper out of the bell for investigation.<br />
The pin is held in place by a 5mm diameter roll pin. But in this case the roll pin had fractured allowing the gudgeon pin to work out. Luckily I spotted it in time or it could have caused a lot of damage.<br />
After removing the broken roll pin bits a new pin was fitted and the clapper replaced in time for practice night.<br />
I will check them more often now.JohnandCasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06864247982808727781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291078905748416762.post-79178687956501570482013-03-05T07:05:00.001-08:002013-03-05T07:05:38.227-08:00Ely D.A. Tower Maintenance Workshop<br />

The above oddstruckness measurements were made by Tom Ridgman last night using his electronic oddstruckness meter. The measurements are in milliseconds. A positive figure indicates the bell is slow at handstroke and a negative figure indicates the bell is quick at handstroke.<br />
What is significant here is the difference between consecutive bells. Differences of 20ms are discernable to the ear.JohnandCasshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06864247982808727781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291078905748416762.post-26113839695526696452012-07-07T10:03:00.000-07:002012-07-07T10:03:20.469-07:00First peal on Gamlingay bells since augmenting to 8 in 2001<br />
