[Stretham-rec] Stretham REC, Saturday 11th November

[StrethamRec Teachers]

Dear All

The Stretham REC is open as usual this Saturday 11th November. There will
be individual bell handling sessions at 10 am and 10.45 am only, then band
practice will start at 11.30 am.
.
If you would like to come along to the REC this Saturday 11th Novemberfor
individual bell handling training at 10:00 or 10.45, please let me know by
emailing  strethamrec at elyda.org.uk  on or before Wednesday 8th November so
we can organise times and teachers. I will try to fulfil all requests, and
confirm the times by email on Thursday.

Beginners band practice will start at 11.30 am. It is helpful, but not
essential, if you can let me know if you will be coming along for this so
we can tailor the practice to what people would like to ring. Support
ringers and students are very welcome to join us.

Students are asked for a donation of £3 per session.

Advance notice: on Sat Nov 18th at 11.30 there will be a 'Steps to Plain
Hunt' focussed practice in place of the general band practice. This will be
specifically for ringers who can already ring rounds and call changes, and
either have tried plain hunt without too much success or would like to try
plain hunt for the first time. We will practice the skills needed for plain
hunt (speed changes, lengthening and shortening the tail end, leading, and
ropesight exercises) as well as plain hunt itself. We will need steady
helpers as well! We will follow up with another practice in January.

Ringers attending Stretham REC from now on will see a 'STEP donations' box
next to the normal REC £3/session donations box. We want everyone to be
aware that the Stretham Tower Enhancement Project (STEP) has now been
launched. The aims of the project are listed here (
https://www.elyda.org.uk/learning-and-teaching/strethamrec/step) but
suffice it to say they are all designed to make everyone's experience of
learning to ring at Stretham much more pleasurable. We hope you will feel
able to donate to STEP in addition at some point!

please email me at strethamrec at elyda.org.uk advising that you would like to
be put on the list and I will add your name. You can unsubscribe from the
list at any time. If you would like me to do this for you, please let me
know.

Best wishes,
