Decision (E) A.1 (b) says "Starting the plain course from a different change
does not give a different method". Council established this principle at
Eastbourne in 1950 (www.methods.org.uk/archive/ccm1950.htm) when it resolved
"That the method called Steadfast was no different from Shipway's principle
of 150 years ago."

Eddie's touch could be simply described as Original with 3rds place bobs at
handstroke but since the amendment to Decision (E) A.2 at the recent CC
meeting ...
 
"A call is a means of passing from one course of a method to another. It is
not part of the definition of the method. A call may be effected in one of
the following ways:

(a) by altering the places made between two or more consecutive rows without
altering the length of a lead;

(b) by omitting consecutive changes, altering the length of a lead."

... it could now be alternative described as Grandsire with "New Start"
calls.

Best wishes, Tony
