Plain Bob Minor Touches

Various "true" touches called from the 6

These are touches for the 'lightweight conductor' who will make the calls when his/her bell is at specific points in the method, when the treble is expected to be in seconds place when hunting down to lead.

• W = 'Wrong' the bell will perform a 5/6 up.
• I = 'In' for the plain course, this would be 3/4 down, but at the bob call the bell will run In from 3rds to seconds place.
• H = 'Home' the bell will perform a 5/6 down.
