Re: Trinity Striking Contest: Oct 19-21 in DC

Speaking of which: This year also marks the 50th anniversary of Geoff's "First North American Tower Grab", when he organized a bunch of ringers to "grab" Hingham, Groton, Smith, and the Kent School over the course of two days. I've never been to Kent, so I was thinking that it might be fun to try to organize a trip out there on the Saturday (or Friday evening, if they'd be willing to put us up: Oct. 5 or 6) of that weekend, ring at Kent, ideally on all ten (!), and then backtrack to join the fun at Smith. It would be a serious road trip (roughly 3 hours from here to Kent, or about like here to Billsville), but I think it would be an awesome one. Anyone else interested?

I've updated the "Longer-term stuff" page of the attendance sheet to cover this and subsequent major events, btw.

Hi! This is the weekend after Columbus Day? I might be interested in going down? I can see my grandmother at the same time, and I would be likely to have housing…

The competition will have both 6-bell and 8-bell contests this year (call changes, and Grandsire Triples respectively), and there will be plenty of other ringing and social time. If anything like last year's, it will be a blast.
