In what turned out to be an enjoyable and eventful afternoon's ringing, bands representing the Association were vicorious in both sections.

In the 6-Bell Competition for the Jack Pryor Trophy, the band from Llandaff Cathedral were awarded the trophy on account of some "sparking" (judges words!) ringing and the 8-Bell band comprising ringers from across the Association also won their section.

Very well done to Association bands, and commiserations to the other three Guilds/Associations; you caught us on a good day. See you next year ![smiley](/plugins/editors/arkeditor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/regular_smile.png "smiley")
