Exercises Following Session 2

These exercises (except number 3) all relate to Plain Bob Doubles.

1. Preferably whilst ringing the 5th, watch the order of the bells as you pass them, making due allowance for passing the Treble. Notice that, with the exception of the Treble, you meet the other bells in the order 3 2 4. If you like try this from another bell and notice that, allowing for the fact that the coursing order starts in a different place, you will pass the bells in exactly the same order whichever bell you ring.

2. Preferably whilst ringing the 5th, watch the bells coming to lead in coursing order, lie in coursing order and pass you in coursing order, making due allowance for when you ought to pass the Treble.

3. Preferably whilst ringing the 5th, watch the bell after yours in the coursing order (3rd) to see if you can see that it always does the work that you're going to do next time.

4. Preferably whilst ringing the 5th, watch the bell before yours in the coursing order (4th) to see if you can see that it always does the work that you did last time.

5. Preferably whilst ringing the 5th, watch the bell two bells after yours (or before yours - it's the same bell in Doubles) in the coursing order (2nd) to see if you can see that it always does the work two works after (before) yours.

6. If the first 5 exercises are too easy try them again from different bells.
