The EdG&R Committee 2009-2010
Here are the people that run the society: working tirelessly to organise and promote events, managing different aspects of the society, and keeping it all running as a whole!
Fancy being on the committee next year, or just helping out with the running of the society in general? We're always looking for people to help out with promoting and running our events, so come and talk to us!
Chrissie - President
Profile: I'm entering 3rd year Artificial Intelligence and loving it!!!
I enjoy playing drums, drawing/designing, reading sci-fi/fantasy books and spending time drinking with friends.
Music Taste: Various types of metal, mainly Death/Black Metal.
Hometown: Halifax, West Yorkshire
Email address: president at edgarsoc.com
Kirsten - Secretary
Profile: I'm the secretary - I take the minutes, send out the emails, and do general administrative things. I'm currently also focusing on assisting with Snakebite, our new goth night.
I'm a final year English literature/history student who spends a lot of time reading and writing about war and gender. I like to cook and bake a lot, and occasionally a bout of generosity will make me hand out cakes to society members.
Music Taste: Ideologically dubious-sounding militaristic industrial stuff. I also intermittently return to my love of various kinds of metal, and listen to some decidedly un-Edg&r artists on occasion. But I keep that quiet :P.

Kirsty - Treasurer and Fanzine Editor
Profile: I am a short, black haired, 50's obsessed girl. I am doing a Biological Sciences degree at Edinburgh University and am currently in my third year. I enjoy reading (sci-fi and fantasy), drawing, singing, dancing (I do something called Ceroc, which is Jive and Salsa merged), walking in woods (I am a biologist it is nearly compulsory) and generally keeping fit.
Music Taste: I have a wide range of musical interests ranging from Classical through Rock to Jazz. However, my main tastes lie in Rock (and second world war jazz/swing >_< ).
