(watch those egos guys...)

	Full Name:	Oliver Fisher
	Crew Position:	Technical Director/ Sound
	Degree:	English Language & Linguistics
	Favourite Things:	Smothered Chicken from the Charles.
	Further Information:	Oliver is stupid enough to be doing this job for the third year in a row despite spending the last two show weeks suffering from mild depression and nausea. Call it masacism if you will, but he will be "enjoying" this production as much as any of the others as long as the small turnip that inhabits his sock draw doesn't attack... Oliver does not have a beard, contrary to popular opinion.

	Full Name:	Andy Vick
	Crew Position:	Lighting Manager
	Degree:	Physics
	Favourite Things:	Worrying and complaining.
	Further Information:	Andy has raced up the ranks in the 12 months that he has been in the squad. His performance of the break down is massive and his distribution (of jobs) excellent. All he needs to do to ensure a 1st XV starting place is to come to the bar more often.

	Full Name:	Max Weitzmann
	Crew Position:	Stage Manager
	Degree:	Management, IT and French (Astrology, Ironing, Samoan Linguistics, Biological Mathematics, Quasi-conductivist Physcology, Film Studies and Pencil Sharpenings).
	Favourite Things:	His course(s)(ss)(sss). When Max has time to spare from his studies(s)(ss)(sss), he likes "all sports" especially karting, wasting time on the internet and "winning". Winning what? The mind boggles.
	Further Information:	Max is a nervous wreck having been appointed SM for this years show. He quivers uncontrollably and friends have noticed that he sometimes vomits spontaneously. "I often wonder how long it will take you to realise what a mistake you have made by putting your trust in me..." Suddenly my trust seems badly distributed.

The Oiks

	Full Name:	Keith McKillop
	Crew Position:	Lighting Assistant
	Degree:	Computer Science & Maths
	Favourite Things:	I have used Keith as a target for cheap, unncessary jokes on this webpage before now and for this, Keith, I apologise. Keith is an upstanding character (especially in the shower with... oops sorry, there I go again Keith) and works incredibly hard in show week to help us produce the perfect show. Keith, your drinks during show week are on me.*
	Further Information:	Is there any more I can say about this fabulous guy. Check out his site. Hee hee hee... * Terms & Conditions apply.

	Full Name:	Richard Ablitt
	Crew Position:	Lighting Assistant
	Degree:	Electronics
	Favourite Things:	Making dolls.
	Further Information:	Richard is the secretary of the campus ballet society. Both the above pieces of information are true. Help me god.

	Full Name:	Iain Dempsey
	Crew Position:	Assistant Stage Manager
	Degree:	Electronics
	Favourite Things:	The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Coupe (although in his own words he doubts he will ever own one).
	Further Information:	Iain likes "any" kind of music you throw at him although he says his favourites are the Eels, Led Zepelin and Meatloaf. Iain, we therefore gather, likes odd men. Anyone for Rolf Harris?

	Full Name:	Richard Ash
	Crew Position:	Sound Assistant
	Degree:	Electronics
	Favourite Things:	Richard likes brass bands and photography. I think thats actually a degree course that Max is doing...
	Further Information:	Richard plays five sizes of recorders and the horn. I always thought the recorder was something you play before progressing to joined up writing. Clearly not.

	Full Name:	Emily Soon
	Crew Position:	Set construction
	Degree:	English
	Favourite Things:	Emily "likes to walk into town in the rain". I'm speechless
	Further Information:	Emily has an insane, evil twin sister "Emilia" who won't let her go to the ball. She pretends to be Emily when it suits her and has destroyed Emily's life by writing and publishing scanderlous, untrue things about her. Much as this paragraph has done.

We'd like to thank Simon for all the work he's done for G&S over his 48 year career and wish him well in retirement. Your retirement presents - a bench with a small brass plaque saying "Fondly Remembered" and a pair of antique brass binoculars are in the post Simon. He formally gives up his post of sweet-provider-to-the-crew to his apprentice Andy Vick. Mr Vick is honoured Simon.
