month.

Competition – details of our progress will be posted below. We also enter the
South Oxon 6-Bell competition each March.
From time to time, visiting ringers come to our church. A list
of extra ringing will be placed on this page.

David Watkin.
2006 NEWS
HOLLOWAY SHIELD
Having played all our matches, and with a thrilling win at home to Aston Rowant on 15th March, we finished joint leaders (with Aston Rowant), and face a play-off. Chalgrove may yet also tie with us at the top. Date and venue for this exciting conclusion to the contest are yet to be decided. Congratulations to David Watkin, Charles Dickerson, Anne Thomson, and the Rogers Family (Hilarie, Christopher, Charlotte and Daniel) who have all rung in the competition.
