[r-t] Compositions of the Decade: Part 8 - Cinques

[Ian Fielding]

It strikes me that the composition could be modified quite easily to include the 65E7908 position instead of 658790E which would give 2 additional 6's of 4 bell runs in each course - E098's and 9876's (between 6587E90 and 658709E) using 2.10s to get there and 2s.10s to get to the H/S

Just an observation on what looks like a neat plan.

Nice write-up, Jack!

I actually find it very helpful and intersting to hear a brief summary of a band's experiences in ringing something new like this.
