[RWCentenary] The Ringing World National Youth Contest

[RW Centenary News]

The first ‘Ringing World National Youth Contest’ 
will take place from 10am on Saturday, 26th March 
2011 as a major part of the Ringing World’s 
Centenary Day. This eight bell striking contest 
is an exciting opportunity for bands of ringers 
aged under 19 years (on 26th March) who may chose 
to ring Triples, Major or Call Changes.

Our Chief Judge is Simon Linford, a well known 
author of RW articles and Past Master of the 
Ancient Society of College Youths. Band 
performances will be assessed against others in 
the same category. There will be prizes for 
individual categories and a trophy crafted by 
Whitechapel for the overall winners. Results will 
be delivered during the grand reception at 
Central Hall, Westminster, and this will be followed by an award ceremony.

St Saviour’s Church is in St George’s Square, 
Pimlico, London SW1. The church, built in the 
Victorian Gothic style, was finished in 1864 but 
did not have a ring of bells for over a hundred 
years. In 1992 the present 7-1-20 cwt ring of 
eight in G was installed by the Whitechapel Bell 
Foundry. The back six came from St Mary’s, 
Peterborough and were cast by John Warner & Sons 
in 1887 and two Whitechapel trebles cast in 1890 
were added to complete the pleasant light eight. 
Now in the 21st century the first ‘RW National 
Youth Contest’ will be held on these bells.

Pimlico underground station is 100 metres away 
from St Saviour’s Church. Victoria mainline 
station is within walking distance. The Abbey and 
Central Hall, Westminster, are just up the road. 
Refreshments will be available near St Saviour’s throughout the contest.
