Congratulations go to St. Mark’s Jersey on their victory in the Striking competition. 6 bands entered this year, 3 from Guernsey and 3 from Jersey. Unfortunately due to a wedding commitment Alderney were unable to send a band.

Alan and Marjorie Winter from Cambridge were the judges, they congratulated each team on delivering some high quality ringing all of which would have been very acceptable on a Sunday morning. After a few general comments they delivered the following results:-
