To show that striking competitions can be fun(!) these are pictures taken at this year's Young Persons' Striking Competition at Rodbourne Cheney. It would seem that ringing is purely incidental!

The YPSC skipping competition, held concurrently with the ringing competition

Spot the ball competition, also concurrent!

Gloucester branch band, all from Barnwood

Winners of the competition and the Nibley Trophy: Swindon pick'n'mix band

Highest placed band with most ringers from one tower and winners of the Barnwood Trophy: Swindon branch girls, all from Wanborough

Possibly a world record: the youngest ever band in a striking competition, all under ten (and keeping the judge company)

A boy band in the making...

The skittles after and the alternative if you didn't fancy them

Next year the Association has accepted a invitation from the Wotton branch.
