Hello, the Vectis Youths are an Isle of Wight youth bell ringing team, who are wanting to enter a National youth competition being held in Nottingham this year, on Saturday 4th July.

The RWYNC (Ringing World National Youth Contest), is a yearly youth competition located in a different county each year. The Vectis Youths first entered the competition in 2012, held in Birmingham, they then enters 2013, in York, 2014, Worcester, 2015, Oxford and 2016 in London. The Vectis youths had to stop entering as the members got to old to enter, but, this year, we're back, with a great group of youth ringers.

In order for us to go, we need to raise a substantial amount of money to cover accommodation, ferry, mini bus, petrol, and we are also in need of branded polo shirts so we can proudly represent the Isle Of Wight. The most expensive will be the accommodation which will be roughly £2000.

We're holding some fundraising events as well as a gofundme page.
