The eighth Ringing World National Youth Contest took place on Saturday 7th July 2018 in London, hosted by the Southwark Cathedral Society of Bellringers.
| STOP PRESS! The RWNYC was very excited to welcome Blue Peter to Saturday’s contest. Lindsey Russell, a Blue Peter presenter, spent a day learning to ring and participated in a small ringing challenge during the day. The BBC team filmed some of the open ringing and the handbell workshops, along with interviews with band members from some of the teams. They had a great day soaking up the atmosphere at this unique ringing competition. |
