STRIKING COMPETITIONS COMMITTEE

Once again, there seemed mixed enthusiasm for striking competitions at Guild level, with the Inter-Tower 6-bell, and Inter-Distinct 10-bell competitions cancelled due to insufficient entries.

However the other two competitions did take place with the following results.

Inter-Tower 8-bell

The competition was held at Highclere on 20th May, judged by Martin Rice from Newbury.
