24 each 5678, 8765, 21 6578, 130 little bell rollups (Inc 24 each 3456, 6543, 2345, 5432) at the back.

24 each 5678, 8765, 12 8756, 62 little bell rollups off the front.

Combines all 96 runs of 5678/8765 front/back with all 96 xxxx2345,xxxx5432,xxxx3456,xxxx6543; without blocks of 4 or 5 consecutive calls and with standard calls only.

Possibly the first peal of Bristol S Major meeting all these criteria simultaneously.

N.B. 'a' may be called as 'c' which means no blocks of 3 consecutive calls and doesn't affect the "core" music. This has a small negative impact on the number of 5678 combinations off the front; in particular reducing the number of 8756xxxx's by 3 and reducing the number of 6578xxxx's by 1.

First rung at Winford on 23/08/19, conducted by the composer
