Subject: Ring Around charleston
The Ring around Charleston event approaches and I do hope that you
and many from your tower are going to be able to join us. The dates
are February 24 to 26th.
We will be having sessions for all levels, from rounds to surprise
royal. We will be using all four towers in the Charleston area,
three of which are within walking distance. There will be at least
two session running concurrently are all times so there will be
plenty of ringing for all. Quarter peals will be scheduled as we
find out the preferences of those attending. There will be
opportunities to ring at all four towers for all levels. There will
be service ringing at all four churches.
We will also be offering special sessions. These are open to all
but please let us know when you register if you are interested in
one or more of the sessions so that we can arrange appropriate space.
1. Basic service conducting: call changes, quick touches of bob
doubles/bob triples - 1 hour class/1hour tower - Mike Schulte (for
anyone wanting to run service ringing sessions)
2. Conducting quarter peals: coursing order, selecting compositions,
putting folks right -1 hour class - Mike Schulte (for those who have
some conducting experience and want help in calling quarter peals)
3. Rope splicing - 1 hour class - Derek Sibson
The reception on Friday will be held with general ringing at Grace.
The dinner will be on Saturday evening. Both events, including wine
and beer, are covered in the registration fee of $50.
And, in addition to all this, Charleston is a beautiful city. Three
of the towers are located in the historic downtown section and the
fourth is on the barrier sea island, Sullivan's Island, next to a
historic fort . We will have tourist information on hand.
Do join us. Additional information can be found at
