The AGM was hosted by Heswall in the Wirral Branch while the 8-Bell Striking Competition took place at Neston, the test piece being a touch of Erin Triples judged by the impartial Mark Bell (son-in-law of the Guild Master who rang as member of the Mid-Branch band!) assisted by his wife, Claire. The following photographs taken at the Striking Competition have been kindly forwarded by the Guild Master for publication on this website.
