I know that it is still a favorite amongst some bands, but many a ringer dreads a quarter of grandsire that starts with a bob at one just in case its that bloody 1288 again.  The music is OK, but it has been rung to death.

Middlesex Triples is a Bathwick favorite, and  makes a nice change to the usual diet of Plain Bob and Grandsire.  We even rang a peal of it in dim and distant 1979.

On the old eight, Plain Bob Triples seemed to be rung every other week.  This calling is from an old RW but I have lost the reference.  It's musical and a challenge to call.
M = first lead = 5ths place bell!!

Another of the Bathwick standards.  Union is one of the oldest Triples methods but is now seldom rung. Some of the earliest peals for the Bath & Wells were of Union, and it was pealed again at Bathwick in 1979.

We have rung a few quarters of this recently.  It's as Union, except that 5ths is made just after the lead end rather than just before.  Like Union its asymmetrical.

Call the 7th before 18 times and then once wrong, changing method according to who is in the hunt:

hunt bell 2 3 4 5 6
2 Methods Single Oxford Single Oxford Grandsire Grandsire Single Oxford
3 Methods Single Oxford Single Oxford Grandsire St Clements Single Oxford
4 Methods Single Oxford Single Oxford Grandsire St Clements Double Oxford
5 Methods Single Oxford Single Court Grandsire St Clements Double Oxford

Good fun to call (how many befores have I called??), but lacks somewhat it the music department.  Still, to be recommended as some thing a bit different.

One of my own which has been called a few times by David Floyd.  The 7968's make a change before the usual tittums and hand strokes.
I like the long course with the six in the hunt, and the four courses of hand strokes at the end.

A variety of music to suit all tastes, although I'm never too sure about 97568's - they sound excellent at the course end, but seem to lose the plot during a 5 lead course.  Perhaps the answer is to ring 4 lead courses, continually swapping with 57968's as Albert Tyler did in his all the music peal composition.

Half and half calling.  There are other variations about which are very similar to this.  Well worth ringing, with the long courses providing a welcome change to the usual 5 lead courses. (And yes Tom that first course is SIX leads long!!)

Variations on a theme - they both have "reverse tittums".  The first is an exact two part, whilst the second has a more conventional hand stroke finish.  Both have a nice range of near misses.  The 1260 can easily be extended to a peal.
