The Association holds three striking competitions during the year. Two are held on AGM day and are on 6 bells and 8 bells. These are familiarly known as the Croome and Penn Trophies, after what the winners receive. The third is for young members and is known as the Young Persons' Striking Competition.

The details and results from the last competitions are as follows:

The 8 bell Striking Competition, for the Penn Trophy

The bands taking part in this competition are drawn from around the branches, with no one tower contributing more than five ringers. The results are therefore by branches.
