Current Activities
The Society holds a weekly practice during term-time at All Saints' Church, Nottingham (10 bells, 16 cwt or 810 kg), on Tuesday from 7-8.30 pm. This encompasses everything from teaching new ringers to Surprise Major and occasionally Surprise Royal. There is also ringing for Sunday Service at 10-10.30 am. Peals and quarter-peals are rung regularly, and frequent ringing tours are organised to areas away from Nottingham. Currently quarter-peal ringing is particularly prolific in NUSCR.
The society is noted for enjoying many more non-ringing social activities than most university ringing societies; trips to a wide range of entertainments and sporting events and general chilled-out drinking occurring at least weekly through term. Social breakfasts are enjoyed after Sunday morning ringing. NUSCR works hard to maintain the balance between serious ringing and serious fun. An Annual Dinner is held every year on the third weekend in February. This includes a ringing tour on the Saturday with Dinner in the evening.
