Plain Hunt Doubles by Numbers

This is very controversial throughout the bell ringing community.  Should you learn numbers? I personally can see both the sides of the argument; learning numbers will probably not lead the team much further that plain hunting, but learning places may lead the team to frustration and inevitably members may leave.  As long as the Plain Hunting is 'well struck', does it really matter how we get there?

The worksheet in the link below has been designed for each learner, so they can to write the numbers 'Their Bell Follows Follows' The tenor ringer may also benefit from a form.

Bell 1. (2)

Bell 2. (L)

Bell 3. (4)

Bell 4. (1)

Bell 5. (3)

Bell 6. (5)

Fill out the rest on the worksheet.  If you have a Red, Orange and Green Pen then all the more better, use the different colours to differentiated  the speed required to successfully complete the change. (or just circle the correct speed on the form)

Keep Writing it out until you know it off by heart.
