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.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activities:
“A man is a little thing whilst he works by and for himself, but, when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, is godlike, his word is current in all countries; and all men, though his enemies are made his friends and obey it as their own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
