The Guild Summer Festival took place in the Rutland Branch on Saturday 24th September 2002.
Following open ringing at Belton-in-Rutland, 5 branch teams took part in the 8-bell striking competition at Uppingham.
After tea, the meeting included updates from the Central Council Meeting, Training activities, the Anniversary Photo Contest and the 100 Club draw. The raffle raised £180 for the Bell Repair Fund. Newletters were distributed to branches, and the 2022 Guild Quiz was released. Copies are available through your branches, £1 each.
The 100 Club winners were:
1st: Margaret Dean
2nd: Sue Jones
