Secretary
Emily Qin and Fiona Morgan
They promise to get membership cards done quicker than ever before, with many colours of shiny ink. Fiona is the only committee member small enough to be smuggled into gigs in someone's bag.

Webthing
Simon McVittie and Thomas Parfrey
Simon has been accused of looking like a 70s rock star and believes in web standards. Thomas can't stand websites that aren't updated and believes in Cthulhu. Between them, they might manage to keep this website in order.

The Irish biochemist behind various successful Rocksoc gigs, Keith returns for another glorious year of rock music and sustained potato abuse.

2004-2005

PRESIDENT
Richard Watts

Old enough to know better, Richard has gratuated from running WUS to the lofty position of "Da Boss". He plays lead guitar for Fire & Forget, and also likes fast women and lose cars.

SECRETARY
Elise Conolly

Formerly recognisable by her two-tone hair, Elise is mad enough to be secretary for a second time. She is rumoured to wander the streets after dark, rattling her chains and never sleeping...

TREASURER / LORD OF THE MINIONS
Baz Jones

Baz likes bacteria and black metal. He is a veteran of several committees past, and can often be seen propping up the bar, holding a pint of something black and filthy.

WEBTHING
Oli Wade

Oli is now running out of fingers to count the number of times he's been on the committee. He likes riding motorbikes and pretty girls. And power metal.

EVENTS & PUBLICITY OSSIFER
Keith Boyle

Keith is an Irish biochemist. He brings fresh blood to the committee, and is dedicated enough to have two jobs. He even turned up to half of the committee meetings last year.

WUS MINIONS
Suzy Umm

To follow...

Oliver-Michael Longden

Oliver likes cheese. Or was that booze.

Siobhan Gibson

Siobhan is studying hard for a career in knob-twiddling.

Graham 'Briggsy' Briggs

Graham has ginger hair and big stompy boots.

Myk Umm

Myk is often seen behind the bar at The Alma.

2003-2004

PRESIDENT
Elizabeth Watts

Yet another former secretary. Schoolteacher by day, metal warrior by night.

SECRETARY
Catherine Durance

Mistress of the minutes.

TREASURER / FORGER-IN-CHIEF
Katie Samuelson

Pretty (and) small, KT has by far the longest hair in RockSoc, and can drink a surprisingly large amout. She is doing a PhD in Archaeology and will be very happy to tell you all about bladelets.

WEBTHING
Oli Wade

Now in his fourth (from the last five) glorious year on the committee, Oli has legendary taste in music, and legendary ability to drink beer. He is currently quite keen on motorbikes too.

WUS OSSIFER
Richard Watts

Richard likes Led Zeppelin. A lot. And a vast number of other bands too. He even has (had?) his own who have played for RockSoc a number of times.

EVENTS OSSIFER
Emma Bennett

Also pretty (and) small, Emma is now in her second year as Events Ossifer, and third on the committee. She is still very keen on bats.

TOKEN FOGEY
Peter Rowsell ("Jester")

Still not the oldest member on the committee, Jester is keen to stay involved despite his recent stroke. He is also a representative for APU folk and hair metal fans.

2002-2003

PRESIDENT / GOD-EMPEROR
Baz Jones

Our glorious leader; dedicated black metal fan and PhD student. He is not against spandex per se.

SECRETARY
Elizabeth Watts

Mistress of the minutes. Schoolteacher by day, metal warrior by night. Elizabeth makes sure things get done properly and never mispells anything.

TREASURER / FORGER-IN-CHIEF
Oliver-Michael Longden

A red haired Yorkshireman who hates everything and everybody. Often seen supping ale, roleplaying or dancing like a maniac.

WEBTHING
Oli Wade

Not to be confused with Oliver. Also from Yorkshire and partial to a pint (or sometimes two). A power metal fan with gothic tendancies.

WUS OSSIFER
Ben Joyce

Ben has a band, but not much hair. Apparently he used to have a bit more and look like someone from Hanson. Speak to him if you want to DJ at Wake Up Screaming.

EVENTS OSSIFER
Emma Bennett

Pretty (and) small, Emma likes bats. She was Treasurer last year and is now our new and very shiny Events Ossifer.

TOKEN FOGEY
Peter Rowsell ("Jester")

Almost the oldest member on the committee. Also a representative for APU folk and hair metal fans.

2001-2002

Andy McLellan EL PRESIDENTE: Andy McLellan
Cheeky bastard and general long-haired god, Andy is a man who makes things happen (hehehe). He is just finishing his PhD in Biochemistry and will delight in boring you to death with it if you ask. He likes all sorts of rock and metal, both hard, soft and sort-of intermediate...
SECRETARY: Elise Conolly Elise Conolly, Secretary
As beautiful as she is mysterious, Elise spends her spare time getting unusual piercings, going to interesting parties and reading children's story books. I'm not really sure what kind of music she likes... perhaps I should email and ask.
TREASURER: Emma Bennett
I think Emma has a proper job involving money so we knew she was the right women for the post.
WUS OFFICER: Andy Hudson Andy Hudson, WUS officer
Andy has a t-shirt that says "Virginal Lodestone". If you would like a set at WUS he is the person to ask. He is on the committee for his second glorious year.
Jason Hill, Token Fogey TOKEN FOGEY: Jason Hill
Jason is one of the oldest members so he's very well qualified for this job.
WEBMASTER: Tristan Mills Tristan Mills, Webmaster
A musical polyglot who loves anything from classic rock to power electronics. If there's anything wrong with the website then I am the person to shout at.
