* 2010 Association Inter-District Striking Competition:

The 2010 inter-district 8 bell competition was held on Saturday evening 3rd July at Great Bentley, the 8-bell competition touch being 264 Gainsborough Little Bob Triples. Congratulations to the District team under organiser Maurice Downs for coming 4th with 149 faults, the highest "northern" team placing. 

However that is not really the whole story... 

This was a disastrous evening for the other "northern" teams - a really top-notch performance by the local NE District team was heading to be the winner (in your editor's opinion) when a missed Bob meant that the touch was stood and the team disqualified. Later the NW team was well into their piece when the tail end of a rope came un-tucked (sabotage by previous team?) and this proved so distracting to the team that they fired out and were also disqualified.

Unfortunately the 6-bell District Striking Competition heat was cancelled this year (again) due to insufficient teams entering; our only entry going forward as a combined Braintree and Felsted band. They rung at Tendring during the afternoon and were placed 9th out of 9 entries with only 179 faults ringing St. Martins Doubles.  Perhaps a rule-change is in order?

The judges for both competitions were (one-time Essex boy) John Loveless and Linda Garton.
