SUMMARY:**Cancelled** - Southampton 12-bell practice - Bitterne Park
DESCRIPTION:Due to a number of key people being away in April\, there will NOT be a Southampton 12 bell practice in April.\n\nThe practice on 20th April will instead revert to a regular Southampton City Ringers practice night instead\, with ringing on all numbers including 6/8/10/12.\n\nThe next Southampton 12 bell practice is therefore scheduled for Monday 18th May. \n\nI hope to see lots of you there in May! If you plan to come to the May practice do let me know\, but I will send a reminder a few weeks before.\n\nMany Thanks\,\n\nDan Graham\nSouthampton City Ringers

SUMMARY:Southampton 12 Bell Practice - Bitterne Park
DESCRIPTION:The next Southampton 12 Bell Practice is next Monday\, 16th March from 19:30 – 21:00 at Bitterne Park\, Southampton.\n\nAs always\, anyone wanting to ring on 12 is welcome to attend\, and the ringing will be suited to those attending. We continue our focus on Bristol Surprise Maximus\, so hopefully there will be enough people around to try that a couple of times.\n\nAs this practice is often very popular\, I am going to trial for this month placing all bands. Hopefully this will ensure everyone gets to ring what they are learning in the best way possible.\n\nTherefore; if you are hoping to come to this practice please can you a) let me know and b) let me know if you are learning something specific or hoping to ring something specific so I can ensure you get the chance.\n\nI look forward to ringing with lots of you then\, if not before!\n\nDan Graham\nSouthampton City Ringers
