[Cambridge-youths] 12 bell competition

[Philip Earis]

I'm pleased to report that in the final of the national 12 bell
competition at Bristol today the Cambridge band was placed a creditable
5th. This is our best result in the last 12 years.

There was a high standard of ringing by all teams, and the judges praised
our "very good inherent rhythm".

Being placed 5th in the final is a very encouraging result, and reflects
some of the excellent striking we have achieved week in week out at GSM.

Full results are below.  Thanks to all!

Philip
