Meet the DramSoc Crew....

This is meant to be a list of active crew.... hopefully I've not forgotten anyone!

(NB Gary wrote some of these, but as he's finally left, current editor is El Presidente. Complaints however should continue to be sent to Gary.)

For a list of Old Crew, especially those who are still around in the bar etc, see the Meet The Old Crew Page.

• The only member of crew who is never late.
• Traditionally he always gets hurt in some way by another member of crew during a fit up. Nothing serious, just he always manages to choose the wrong place to stand.
• After graduating, we all thought he was going to leave, until the draw of The Dark Side proved too strong and he decided to do a PhD.
• Being the oldest current crew member, he is now officially 'Old Git' for the year (and looking at how long PhD's take to do, will continue to be so for a number of years)

James Dicken [1]

• Honourary head of pretent. We hope he will officially do a PHD so that he can continue to inspire the generations to come.
• We immediately liked him when he pointed out he lived in Beit and even better had a kitchen on the ground floor. This means we won't have a repeat of the Steve King incident

• Briefly made Head of Gobos by James Dicken before losing the position due to lack of any practical gobo skills.

• Variable work ethic depending on the time of night.
• Incapable of running DMX sensibly, instead preferring to inefficiently opt for a completely separate universe for each fixture, much to the annoyance of the above.
