The Bedfordshire District Striking Contest was held at Bletsoe on Saturday 6th June 2015 starting at 5pm. This was\u00a0the first major activity to take place\u00a0since the Bletsoe\u00a0bells have been restored.<\/p>\n

Eight teams took part, three ringing rounds and five ringing a method. The judges were Bob and Elizabeth Churchill of Husborne Crawley and the organiser was Andrew Dennison. Bletsoe were the hosts and the event was well attended with approx. 60 guests.\u00a0I believe we managed to provide\u00a0plenty of food including sandwiches, savouries and cakes along with countless cups of tea and coffee! Thank you to all who donated to our bell fund and also many thanks to all who helped with the refreshments.<\/p>\n
