St Barnabas, Pimlico bells. 1/2 course Cambridge S Major on heavy octave of the ten; ASCY Dinner Day

[@RingerThomas]

Rang here yesterday. Didn’t think they were that hard, though they are a pain to get up right. We managed them in the end 😂

[@rmdguild]

They're not too bad. I've kept them regularly oiled since I got involved in about 2013 and done maintenance tightening yearly. Although last rehung about 1880 (though still wedge-housed brasses let straight into the frame) they weren't rung from about 1900 until 2010 or so, so the bearing wear should be pretty minimal, hence they're not too bad at all (other than oddstruckness of some). Plain bearings are better than ball-bearings if they're looked after and preferably not too worn. They've got easier through being rung pretty regularly up until Mar 2020.

Strange to need a box for the tenor, it's only 19cwt

[@MaxTheRinger]

Long Melford is like that because it’s tenor box is about the same size as that box and their tenor is only 15cwt

That man on the 7th needs to get his arms up properly

[@rmdguild]

That man on the 7th has no intention of conforming, and that includes ringing style! 😂

[@fredmills368]

@@rmdguild pity as that man will probably get arm strain and back strain from the interesting movements to hunt down surely far easier for him to take rope in.

[@rmdguild]

@@fredmills368 well you are right again, as that man already has those complaints.

[@fredmills368]

If that man has already had those complaints why doesnt he act on them

[@rmdguild]

@@fredmills368 because, in that man's case, it is hereditary from non-ringing parents, and as already stated, that man does things in his own way.
