On Saturday 8th July, ten young ringers from the Salisbury Guild took part in the Ringing World National Youth Contest (RWNYC) day in York, including Ben A, Esther and Lila from Wimborne. We had a great time, ringing at five towers including the magnificent 12 at York Minster. In the competition itself the team rang call changes on six bells. The band was:
Treble Conni (Dorchester branch)
2 Ben (Calne branch)
3 Oscar (Calne branch)
4 Ben (East Dorset branch)
5 Robert (Devizes branch) (C)
Tenor Pippa (East Dorset branch)
There were seventeen call changes teams and Go Bellistic! was placed joint 4th (with Young@Herts), behind Durham & Newcastle, Sussex Young Ringers and Kent Young Ringers. Our best ever result!
The other participants were Esther and Lila, Eddie from Wyke Regis and Abigail from Dorchester.
A big thank you to the Salisbury Guild and to all those ringers who have supported us financially, practically and with their best wishes.
