[r-t] Quarter Peal of Call Changes

[Fielding Ian]

Something a bit more structured based on 60 on thirds in the diary:

Call bells into Queens

1357924680

Call treble up to 9ths place

3579246810

Call 3rd up to 9ths

579246813

Then call the treble down to lead

1579246830

Call the 5th up to 9ths

1792468350

Call treble up to 9ths

7924683510

Call 7th up to 9ths

924683517

Call the treble down to lead

1924683570

Call 9th up to 9ths

1246835790

And continue in this fashion until you get back to queens and then call
the bells into rounds (just over 100 changes I think).

Sounds like a good idea, Rob.  As you say, it will probably help to
encourage your inexperienced ringers.

There aren't really any rules for this sort of thing, and it's done so
infrequently -- especially on ten bells -- that there isn't really any
usual
way of doing it, either.   I'd suggest that the way you can most make it

resemble a method-ringing quarter-peal would be to think up a
'composition'
for the changes beforehand, then make the calls at fixed intervals.  If
you
call every fifth handstroke, you'll need about 125 calls in your
composition.

However, the RW often records bands ringing, say, "45 minutes of
call-changes", so it's clear that your other suggestion (of just ringing
a
few changes until a certain time has elapsed) is also accepted.  So just
go
for what you think is best!  :-)
