Striking competition tomorrow

Audlem is hosting a striking competition on Saturday afternoon from 2.00pm onwards. Several ringing bands from the South Cheshire Branch will be visiting.

A striking competition is a test of how good you can make the bells sound. When ringing, the bells should be evenly spaced with no gaps or crashes, which is quite hard to do. It is difficult to strike bells well in a church where you do not normally ring.

Each band will have a short practice and then ring as well as they can for about 5 minutes.

The aim of a Striking Competition is to promote and improve the standard of Sunday Service ringing.
