hi All
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Forgive me for being a bit elementary, but how do we know that the contraction of a method, say Yorkshire, is Yorkshire and not any of the other numerous methods of which it might be a contraction - surely there must be a deligh tmethod with the same contraction
and more right to the name? </div>
<div>Is this a case of defects in the rules on extension (are there any rules on contraction?) or is it a problem with allowing "False in the plain course" (which I think unnecessarily rejects many years of ringing history)</div>

<br>
online/blk5.htm , I noted with interest that the contractions of Pudsey,<br>
Rutland, and Yorkshire Surprise to Minor have already been named as Minor<br>
Blocks.<br>
<br>
If the propositions are carried through, we will then legitimately be able<br>
to ring 1440s of Yorkshire, Rutland, and Pudsey Surprise Minor.<br>
<br>
However, each of these Minor methods contain a 16 cross section, so they<br>
are Delight methods. Does this mean that we might also have to relax, to a<br>
degree, the distinctions between Surprise, Delight, and Treble Bob?<br>
