special climate change awareness ringing



The vicar asks that we support Bishop Bud's call to have 350 New England churches ring 350 times each during the last week of November. The number is because "350 parts per million (ppm) is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that our planet can sustain without causing cataclysmic and irreversible damage to life as we know it. " See:

My inclination is to do our bit during regular Saturday practice on the 29th or service ringing on the 30th. I have done nothing about organizing a peal attempt for Christ the King Sunday, but that's the 24th, so I've picked the other two days just in case. Would someone please send me a suitable composition for a true touch that's 350 changes long? A regular Saturday practice band could probably manage PB, Grandsire Doubles, or something similar to that. With some planning we might get eight people, so something simple for that many people would be good as well. If 350 is too strange a number of changes, something close but less than that would be fine, and we'll carefully count the number of rounds beforehand so that it totals 350.
   Thanks.
