The branch is holding another quarter peal 'week' - October 17th - 26th.

This is a good opportunity to have a go at something different, ring your first quarter, call a quarter, ring a quarter of surprise minor/major etc.

The Harrogate Course - 2009
Friday, 3rd April 2009
Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers
HARROGATE RINGING COURSE, APRIL 2009
(associated with the Whirlow Grange course)
Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th April
Details
The residential course runs from the evening of Friday, 3rd April until after lunch on Sunday, 5th April, and will use towers in the Harrogate / Ripon area for practical sessions on 6 and 8 bells. The course is based on Ashville College, which provides accommodation, meals and training facilities. The purpose is to enable those who are becoming comfortable with method ringing, but need that extra little help to become confident. The main idea is to concentrate on plain hunt, plain bob and grandsire on 5, 6 and 7 bells.
Each student will be in a group with a highly experienced tutor, and will be able to learn the theory of, and practice, what he or she wishes to master. There will be over 6 hours of practice, with experienced ringers helping to ensure that each student will always be ringing with a strong band.
The minimum requirement for acceptance as a student is competence in ringing rounds and call changes.
There will be opportunities to meet other ringers, to have talks on topics related to ringing and the chance to ring at several towers over the weekend.
What is the Cost?
Residential Students
16 and over £100
Under 16 £70
This covers accommodation, all meals from Friday dinner until Sunday lunch (except Saturday lunch), tuition and tower fees. Transport to towers is NOT included. (see below)
Non residential students all ages £45
NOTE: there are limited places for non residents.
This covers tuition, tower fees and teas / coffees, but not meals.
Transport
Students will be responsible for their own arrangements for travel to the course. Travel information will be provided to all students.
Students and helpers will be expected to share transport to and from the practical sessions, and will be expected to make a suitable contribution towards the cost of fuel.
How to Apply
Complete the application form and return to Susan Laycock (address on application form or by e-mail slaycock@richmondmethodist.n-yorks.sch.uk).

For the evening meal, I have not looked at any where in particular. If there is interest in an evening meal I will look for some ideas. My initial search did not come back with much except a couple of hotel restaurants local to Saddleworth.
Otherwise Sid's cafe in Holmfirth ??????? Website says open all the time but I will give them a ring.
