On Thursday, 16 February 2012, at the University Church of St Mary the Great, the following members of the Regent House rang a peal of 5056 Changes of Cambridge Surprise Major in two hours and 54 minutes:
1. Timothy Nicholas Milner, PET
2. Claire Yvonne Barlow, N
3. Frederick Anthony Nicholas Finch, T
4. Timothy Keith Dickens, PET
5. Frank Haydon King, CHU
6. Thomas William Ridgman, W
7. Malcolm Stuart Edwards, F
8. Alan Thomas Winter, CHR (Conductor)
This is believed to be the first such peal rung by a band of members of the Regent House as opposed to the whole Senate, the ringers of 1, 2, 5, and 8 being serving or former Proctors. The peal was conducted by the Senior Proctor, and is offered as a respectful compliment to the outgoing and incoming Chancellors of the University, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, T, and The Lord Sainsbury of Turville, K.
