Talk:Manchester Universities Guild of Change Ringers

Notability
This society has been in existence since 1948. Over its lifetime it has varied in the prominence of its activities. At times it has been nationally (UK) known for its peal ringing and method composition achievements. The supporting reference material would almost be almost exclusively held in The Ringing World, a weekly paper-based publication.

As a serious and long running organisation for the proponents of a very specific but serious occupation within (mostly) the UK this society deserves its own article. Some societies are rather trivial and ephemeral excuses for social activities but this supports one of the UK's most historic and nationally specific traditional activities.

Bellringing articles are very poorly represented on Wikipedia but this dows not mean that oor articles should be removed. This purports to have stub status which is probably correct.

Personaly I think that lists of officers (which would change annually) do not have a place in such articles. Oosoom Talk 20:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

This society was prominent and innovative in advancing the technical progress of bell ringing in the 1970s (pre-internet) and is still active. Its activities are noted in The Ringing World, the worldwide journal of the official governing body, the CCCBR. The Ringing World is published weekly in paper form and historically available up to the year 2000 in PDF form on DVDs for verification. Oosoom Talk 11:49, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
