Making a noise ?

A single iron bell does make a bit of noise . . .

       But I do miss a bit of decent English change ringing. Here's twelve changes on six (minor). This is a plain hunt. To extend (and ring Plain Bob) instead of continuing to rounds at the end of the twelve changes the bell in second place would make seconds; the bells in third and fourth place would dodge as would the bells in fifth and sixth. This pattern would continue until rounds will come around again at sixty changes. Calling bobs and singles changes the order of the bells extending the number of changes that can be made. At a bob the bell that would have made second place would run out or hunt up, the bell that would have dodged 3-4 down runs in to take the treble off the lead; the bell that would have dodged 4-3 up makes fourth places and the runs in; the two back bells dodge as usual and are unaffected. At a single the bell in seconds is unaffected; the bell that would have dodged 4-3 up makes fourths and runs in to the lead again; and the bell that would have dodged 3-4 down makes thirds and runs back out. Again the bells in fifth and sixth places dodge as usual and are unaffected. "Clear as mud?" as Mac my old tower captain would say.

              In summertime on Bredon
                 The bells they sound so clear;
              Round both the shires they ring them
                 In steeples far and near,
                 A happy noise to hear.
