We posted earlier about the annual North East Essex District Bell Competition that was to be held on Saturday 20 September.
The Competition is to ring rounds and call changes and the aim is to encourage new ringers to enter into the competitions, and to ensure the training they receive is up to the required standard.
This year, it was hosted by St Mary’s church Wivenhoe. There were a total of seven teams ringing, plus some extra support members, as well as the competition judges and District organisers. So there was quite a crowd of us all.
Tendring were the winners, with Wivenhoe coming a very respectable fourth (especially as our team had a new ringer, a lapsed ringer and a ringer who had not rung at competition level for many years).
The District organisers praised the welcome, the BBQ team and the catering team, who did an excellent job.
If reading this made you want to find out more about bell ringing then our tower captain Adrienne would love to tell you all about it.
