On Saturday 3rd Sept Bicester played host to the 2016 branch Striking Competition and BBQ.<\/p>\n
It was a rather wet evening, but we had three teams in the competition which was judged by Richard White from Woodstock.<\/p>\n
Team 1 (Bicester) rang a touch of Grandsire Doubles, incuring 52 faults.<\/p>\n
Team \u00a02 (Caversfield – defending champions) rang 4 plain courses of Gradnsire Doubles (having only rung call changes last year, but the team has progressed), incurring 58 faults.<\/p>\n
Team 3 (Islip) with the help from two Stratton Audley ringers rang call changes and incurred 56 faults.<\/p>\n
All very close as you can see, but Bicester topped the standings this year.<\/p>\n
Thanks to Helen and Rob Parkinson who opened their home to us all we had a lovely evening (despite the rain) with a BBQ, salads, puddings (rather alcoholic trifle :9) and lots of chatting. A fun evening and my thanks to all who took part and contributed to the food.<\/p>\n
Next branch practice is on Tuesday at Launton – hopefully see you there (and hope the weather is better!)<\/p>\n
