Results
Sixteen teams came to Worcester on Saturday, 5th July 2014 to take part in the RWNYC. This year’s venue was Old St Martin in the Cornmarket, with its new light ring of Taylor bells, which proved ideal for the contest. We were treated to some really first class ringing on them by our young contestants. The winner of the gold medals for the Call Changes category and overall contest winner was Team 14: Bedfordshire. Winner of the gold medals for the Method category was Team 11: Yorkshire Tykes.
