Nineteen #ringers represented the Oratory in the W W Worthington ringing contest held at #Ranmoor. The "Oratory Seniors" band were placed 3rd out of 7, whilst the "Oratory Youths" were close behind in 4th. The Trophy was awarded to a band from the The Church of England in Derbyshire. Well done all!
