Quarter Peal Callings "While there are many sources of peal compositions available, there are by comparison few of quarter peal callings. {"A peal is just a load of sweat and blisters..." - Old Bailey }``Quarter peals are probably more useful for advancing the abilities of most Sunday service ringers and bands. This is a collection of callings that I hope will at least partially close that gap."
Adam's Composition Page According to Adam: "These compositions are not flash, they aren't necessarily very musical, and they probably aren't original. However they are easy to call, easy to keep right and relatively easy to ring so they may be of interest to the non-superheroes of ringing (about 99% of all ringers at the last estimate)."
