This year’s SUA was hosted by Southampton University in Southampton (obviously) on 8th-10th November. The UL being organised as usual had managed to get a last minute band of 7 current students together although we all decided to only come down for the Saturday. This decision could be attributed to laziness or competition focus, I […]

The London 12 Bell Competition for the Whitechapel Trophy this year was hosted by the University of London Society. The UL is not one of the larger societies taking part in the competition, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for with youthful enthusiasm. Having taken on the organisation of the

This year’s cycling tour was organised by Chris Rimmer to his local area in Guildford. The official tagline was ‘Cycling (if you want to) tour’, something which the UL members took to mean, ‘Don’t worry too much about bringing a bike’. Unfortunately I had to work on the Friday (booo), so I missed out on

This year’s freshers’ tour (or no freshers’ tour!) was around east London, going to nearly the end of the district line. For some of us this involved spending over an hour on the tube covering more than 30 stops to get to the first tower, and being hung over from the night before didn’t help!

This year’s ULSCR Summer Tour took place in that magical ringing factory of the Midlands; kindly arranged by Harry, Jenny and Sophie, who we’ll call our resident “Wonkas”.

The UL Picnic 2013 took place on the 8th June 2013 in sunny Regents Park. Meeting after the Danes Quarter, a good gang of UL and friends assembled at the north end nearer Camden, and ate many picnic like foods, thankfully this year not including raw meatballs…. A new version of cricket and rounders was

This year, the UL entered the Middlesex 8-bell competition, organised by Tom Lawrence and held at Garlickhythe. This was the second time that we have entered the competition. Unfortunately due to the cross-over between the old and new Master there was some confusion of how the band was going to be organised. Fortunately, we managed
