The Guild has increased its total by 116 in keeping with National figures. Awbridge, a Secular ring, has considerably added to the totals by ringing 84 and becomes the 3rd leading tower worldwide. Otherwise Bishopstoke would otherwise have been the leading tower for the Winchester District with 19. Vale has made a commendable effort with an increase of 24. However, we are only ringing 73% of our towers at present in spite of two Districts achieving 100%.
