Calling Challenge
At the start of Autumn our District Masters Pam Donovan (Northern District) and Wendy Watts (Southern District) invited ringers to take part in The District Masters’ Autumn Calling Challenge 2024
and win Challenge Points for themself, their home tower and their District!
What was the challenge? "We challenge ALL Association ringers and their friends to call something they have never called before."
Final Results
We are pleased to announce the final results of the Autumn Calling Challenge, as follows:
- The winning ringer is Milica Reardon, who scored a stunning total of 175 personal points.
- The winning tower is St John's Caterham, with an amazing total of 805 points.
- The winning District is the Northern District, with a total of 4910 points.
Congratulations to our winners and congratulations to everyone who took part! We'd like to send special congratulations to all the ringers who bravely called for the very first time, including
the 15 ringers who called stand to rounds.
We'd also like to thank the ringers who didn't take part in the Challenge themselves but supported other ringers by ringing in the bands for the Challenge performances. We couldn't have done it
without you.
Now some highlights for those who like numbers:
- A total of 109 ringers from 21 towers took part
- 218 separate performances were recorded (not every tower chose to record their performances)
- Recorded performances included 7 quarter peals (including 1 first as conductor), 45 other method performances, 27 plain hunt performances, 92 call change performances with the caller ringing and 13 call-change performances with the caller standing outside the circle.
- 1 ringer called blind-folded, and 1 ringer called with a broken leg (in a tower with quite a lot of stairs, so well done for that!)
