The competition was held at Lockerley. Four tower teams, plus one scratch band, entered the hotly-contested competition which was judged by John Harrison from All Saints, Wokingham. The weather was wonderful and the setting idyllic for a pleasant evening sitting in the sunshine listening to some fine ringing.
