[RWCentenary] The Ringing World National Youth Contest – Assistant judges

[RW Centenary News]

We are delighted to announce the names of the three assistant judges 
for The Ringing World National Youth Contest on Saturday, 26th March 
2011 at St Saviour's, Pimlico. They are:

Tessa Beadman
Tessa learnt to ring in 1997 at Guildford Cathedral. A year after 
ringing her first peal in 2002 she joined the Ancient Society of 
College Youths, before turning her back on the bright lights of the 
City and heading to Cambridge in 2005 to study Natural Sciences. 
While at university Tessa joined the Cambridge University Guild, and 
made a valuable contribution to the society by becoming the Guild's 
"girly-chat" officer (and also secretary). In 2008 she moved back to 
London for a Master's degree at Imperial College, where she found a 
new niche drinking, and even ringing, with the University of London 
Society. Tessa currently lives in Reading, and continues to ring 
regularly in London.

James Marchbank
I started ringing in 1998, age 12. My dad taught me to ring at 
Cheadle (Cheshire), which was my home tower until I moved to 
Macclesfield just over a year ago. I went to Oxford University 
(2004-2008) and was master of the OUS in 2006.
I've been joint branch ringing master of the East branch of the 
Chester Guild for the last two years, in which time I've been trying 
to raise interest/awareness in branch ringing events, in particular 
encouraging people who have not rung much on higher numbers to attend 
branch eight and twelve bell practices.

Imogen Brooke
I started learning to ring when I was 9 years old at Great St Mary's 
in Cambridge. My Dad taught me and my four siblings to ring and it 
has been nice to do things together as a family. A few months ago the 
seven of us rang in my youngest sister's first quarter peal and the 
eighth member of the band was the midwife who delivered her! I have 
rung several peals, including 8-spliced and Bristol and Cambridge 
Maximus. I used to ring regularly at GSM and Trumpington and it was a 
nice way of meeting people from all age groups. I am a member of the 
Society of Cambridge Youths and recently became a member of the 
Ancient Society of College Youths which has given me the chance to 
ring with a variety of new people.In 2008 I was a member of the 
Cambridge Youths' band in the National Twelve Bell striking contest 
eliminator in Sheffield. I have also rung in the Ridgman Trophy as a 
member of the team for the Ely Diocesan Association of Church Bell 
Ringers. In October I began studying Mechanical Engineering at the 
University of Bristol and I joined the University of Bristol Society 
of Change Ringers. I have enjoyed getting involved in the student 
practices particularly as it is nice to ring with more people who are 
a similar age to me.

Tessa, James and Imogen will be working with the Chief Judge, Simon Linford.
