Guild of BriCklayers annual BriCkwork ComPetition Comes to
Calderdale ColleGe
In May 2011 Calderdale College’s North Halifax Construction Skills Academy hosted the
Yorkshire Section of the prestigious Guild of Bricklayers Annual Brickwork Competition.
Entrants in the competition travelled from colleges and schools around Yorkshire and
spent the day competing before the presentation of awards took place later in the
afternoon.
Various activities ran alongside the competition, including a master bricklaying
demonstration by former Calderdale College learner and Guild contestant Nigel Aldridge,
presentations by representatives from Staybills and No More Props, plaster moulding
tasters and haircuts and pampering by the hair and beauty learners of The Full Works
salon. The Guild of Bricklayers was founded in 1932 with the aims of promoting and
maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship in brickwork.
The Guild is a national organisation divided into geographical regions where local
competitions, visits, lectures and other activities take place. All competitors worked hard
to produce work of a high standard and North Halifax Construction Skills Academy learner
Brett Michael was awarded the New Entrant, Level 1 prize.
