The Buzz About The Contest

Posted on by bellsandbikes

On 6 June 2026, Christchurch Dore hosted the Sheffield Branch Striking Contest.

A bumble bee hovers by the bright yellow Welsh poppies on the edge of Dore churchyard. The tower, which contains 8 bells, is in soft focus in the background.

The winning team of bellringers would go forward to the Sunday Service Band Finals for The Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers. A full write up features as the lead story in The Ringing World, Issue 6008, released on 19 June. Click here for The Ringing World website https://www.ringingworld.co.uk/. This image of Dore church features on the homepage of the RW website for that week in June.
