Marsworth Do Level 1 and Module 1 Double

After service ringing on Sunday 25 August, Bob Deeley and Sally Tulley were presented by the Vicar of Marsworth with certificates ofachievement for completing Learning the Ropes Level 1 – Bell Handling. Also just prior to the service, Richard Booth and I were given our ITTS Module 1 certificates after reaching the required teaching ability.

Earlier we had rung rounds and some simple call changes. The little boy in the photograph is Thomas Monks who rang backstrokes in rounds with us whilst his mum (Ruth Monks) looked after the handstrokes. He should be ready to ring both strokes together fairly soon too and hopes to join the others in getting his Learning the Ropes Level 1 certificate.
