It was a very good effort with some good ringing and was awarded 28 faults by our judges.<\/p>\n<p>Islip rang second and choose plain courses of Grandsire Doubles which went well and earned only 17 faults making Islip the winning team 2 years running.. I think Caversfield will be looking to take the shield next year though! Thanks to James Champion and his wife for judging for us.<\/p>\n<p>We then retired to Kathryn&#8217;s for the bbq with Richard as head bbq chef. As usual Lucy and Fred were looking for dropped food (the bbq was not dog-nose height this year), but I don&#8217;t think they got too much despite sitting patiently at the feet of anyone who was eating!<br \/>\nThanks to Kathryn for opening her home once again and thanks to the team who catered for us and for the 24+ people who came along to enjoy a good evening together.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3142\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3142\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bicester.odg.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2014-09-26-19.41.52_smaller.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3142 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bicester.odg.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2014-09-26-19.41.52_smaller-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bell cake\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bicester.odg.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2014-09-26-19.41.52_smaller-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bicester.odg.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2014-09-26-19.41.52_smaller.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3142\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bell cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The next branch event is the branch practice at Bicester on Monday 6th October &#8211; I hope to see lots of you there.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony Cole<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual branch striking competition and bbq was held in Islip on Fri 26th Sept.
