John Hutchings Memorial Competition - Friday July 19 2002.

 

Five teams from the North East Branch of the Guild entered this year’s John Hutchings Memorial Competition (object: to promote the advancement of Method Ringing) which because of a conflicting open air event in Silverton on the 19th July had to be held at St Mary’s Church Bickleigh.

The competition piece, five plain courses of Bob Doubles, was judged by Ian and Wendy Campbell from an adjacent unlicensed vantage point prior to delivering their verdict later in the evening in less formal surroundings.

The John Hutchings Cup was presented to St. Paul’s Tiverton (34.75 fault points). Runners up were Silverton (56.5), Bampton (63.25) and St Peter’s Tiverton (77.5). The true winners were however a scratch team (28.25 fault points) with Leslie Boyce as conductor but due to a contravention of the competition rules could not be awarded first place.
