Rowley Regis hosted the Northern Branch Striking Competition yesterday. There were 5 bands in the Call Changes Section and 2 bands in the Method Section. We entered the Call Changes and came a respectful 3rd place. The ropes were damp and stiff and bands particularly found the 4th bell (in the back 6) challenging to stand at the end of the ringing.
Bewdley won both events so we'll done to them. Only two towers entered both. We met up with friends from Bewdley, Cradley, Coseley, Halesowen and of course Rowley Regis. Results are on the W&DCRA N.Branch page and will be on the billboard for the website.
A very sociable event and all credit to Laura Homer for organising. Ding D**g! 🔔
