The Nottingham University Society of Change Ringers is one of the oldest societies affiliated to the University of Nottingham Students' Union (where it is known as Bellringing Society), being founded in 1958. Its principal aim is to allow students from both the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University to practise English Change Ringing. It also represents the University at the annual Northern Universities Association (NUA) Striking Competition each November, where the society is famous for its historic dominance of the "NUA Boat Race", the four-person pint-downing relay competition held each year.
