Ringing World National Youth Contest 2025

Two young ringers from Haughton, Emily and Sam were lucky enough to ring in today’s Ringing World National Youth Contest in Birmingham. It was the first time Cheshire & North Staffs Young ringers had entered a team and they were so proud to have rung for the team.

Their ringing piece was judged at Erdington.

We then moved to visit the 12 bells at Walsall

The young ringers enjoyed ringing the Taylor 12, and the helpers and leaders enjoy a much needed cup of tea.

We then headed to St. Martin at the Bullring. It was the first time our young ringers had rung on 16 bells.

We then headed towards St. Paul’s in the Jewellery Quarter. At St. Paul’s the two mobile rings were in the grounds, and handbell ringers were performing.

From St. Paul’s we went to Moseley to ring on St. Mary’s lovely 10. They were very welcoming at Moseley and the young ringers really enjoyed their ring.

That was our last ring, we just had enough time to get back to St. Martin’s in the Bullring for the days results. We were overwhelmed by the amount of younger ringers and their teachers all waiting in anticipation for their results.

We didn’t win, but we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and day. Fingers crossed we will be back next year for another go.

The Cheshire & North Staffs Young Ringers Event

We were lucky enough to host the Cheshire and North Staffs Young Ringers meeting on Sunday 15th June. They are practicing for the under 19’s striking competition next month being held in Birmingham.

They had some good practices and some good general ringing. Snacks and drinks were provided by the local ringers.

Our new practices times

We are changing our practice times.

Tuesday night practices will be 7.45 to 9pm and we will be using the simulator this will give us more scope of what we can ring, and is an excellent practice to teach listening a rhythm.

Friday nights will be open practice at Haughton on 1st and 3rd Friday and at Seighford on the 2nd and 4th Friday. On the 5th Friday if there is one we will practice at Chebsey.
