SUMMARY:Winchester District Striking Competition - Easton
DESCRIPTION:The draw will take place in advance\, so that those ringing for weddings or who have other commitments may ring at a time suitable for them. The aim of the competitions is to promote good striking and encourage ringers from towers from across the District to get together socially. We particularly want to encourage less experienced teams to take part in the rounds and/or called changes competition. Do see if your band can enter a team. Any group of ringers that ring regularly together may enter a team\, so you don’t all need to come from he same tower. \nCompetition ringing will be followed by general ringing\, with results announced and presentation of awards afterwards in Easton Village Hall – light refreshments available from 12.30. Parking outside the church and at the village hall. \n  \nWinchester District Striking Competitions 2026 Rules \nPRACTICE: Each team will be allowed five minutes’ practice time. They should then ring two whole pulls on the treble to signal to the judge(s) and those listening that the test piece is about to commence. \nMETHOD RINGING COMPETITION: A touch of 120 changes in any doubles or minor method preceded by up to a minute of rounds. Judging will commence as soon as the bells go into changes. At the end of the touch the band should ring five whole pulls of rounds and then stand\, all of which will be judged. \nROUNDS AND/OR CALL CHANGES COMPETITION: The test piece will be five and half minutes in duration. Teams will ring rounds\, and may include called changes if they wish\, but this is not compulsory. The first minute of rounds will not be marked; if the team rings called changes\, marking will commence as soon as the first change is rung. \nTEAMS: Teams must comprise members of a band who regularly ring together. Teams will be expected to enter into the spirit of the competition and ring called changes or enter the method ringing competition if they are able to do so. Bands may enter more than one team if they have sufficient ringers\, and so long as at least four ringers are not common to both teams. Towers who share ringers may enter a combined team. Any team may include one ringer from outside the band. However\, no ringer may ring for more than two teams. \nENTERING THE COMPETITION: Please submit your entry to Micki Nadal\, District Secretary\, by Sunday 20th September\, after which the draw will take place. Bands will be notified afterwards of the approximate time for their test piece.
