Comment
[edit]My Great-Grandmother, Mrs Elsie Hairs, was the only female ever inducted into the Ancient Society of College Youths. She and my Great-Grandfather, Mr Francis Ivy Gain Hairs (or FIG Hairs), were prolific ringers, cycling to ring peals on their wedding day. My Grandparents, Edwin Arthur Barnett & Olive Barnett nee Hairs were also prolific ringers. My Grandfather was President / Master of the Central Council - see Obituary; http://www.srcy.org.uk/pdf/Newsletter2004.pdf Kersti Bolton 61.9.202.250 01:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Although I added a new inline citation, it is from 1879 and does not provide information for the current organization. More citations are needed.--DThomsen8 (talk) 01:24, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Notability questioned June 2016
[edit]This article has been tagged as of questionable notability. I should have thought that a directory definition by Charles Dickens was sufficient, however I suspect that more references by other independent sources would help prevent this article from being deleted. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manchester Universities Guild of Change Ringers regarding possible deletion of all ringing societies. Oosoom Talk 12:16, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Its records are entered into the National Archives. Oosoom Talk 16:59, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
I have done some work on this page, and there more I will be doing. All society entries seem to be targeted.
There is notability-
- A key society in the early development of change ringing.
- Has influenced ringing for several centuries
- Was an influence in forming the central council.
- Still held in high regard - 4 reps on CC.
- The Dickens writings denote notability
- One of only two historical ringing societies in London
- The Fabian Stedman connection.
I have removed the template.
