Interrupting the committee happily posting to themselves 
Name: Kim Warren
Committee position: Avoiding it after being on committee for 3 years.
My course: Zoology MSci, 4th year
Hobbies: Going to gigs, reading, rugby, Magic: the gathering, running off to distant parts of the world to do research and get myself injured.
Musical Taste: Primarily 'bleepy shit'- ebm, synthpop, darkwave, industrial etc. Especially in terms of going out to a club or something. However,
also happy with metal (particularly of the power kind), a fair amount of rock-type-stuff and even stretch to ska on occasion.
Three interesting facts about me:
1. I had no voice for my first alt fresher's week, was limping heavily for my second and was on crutches/ in a wheelchair for my third. This
escalation worries me about what will happen this year.

3. I'm only doing this now as I'm struggling to find the motivation to read 'The Evolution of Life Histories'...
Photo time!
(This summer, the distant part of the world to do research was Uganda. And the getting myself injured was an emergency overnight stay in hospital due
to catching something there. Please note advertisement of the rocksoc  )

distant fantasy for some time yet.)
Likes: Metal. Females. Metal. Leather. Metal. Swords. Metal. Pointy guitars. Metal. Writing. Metal. Reading. Metal. Black things.

When it comes to you I ain't got no self-respect

Name: Matthew Fletcher, more commonly known as Fletch
Course: MENG Chemical Engineeering, 1st year
Accommodation: The wonderful Sherwood Hall
Hobbies: erm many things, playing and composing music would be my highest two, I also play tennis and lie most people enjoy watching TV an reading
books
Musical Tastes: Well I'm pretty damn diverse If I do say so, I'll listen to Classical music, Classic Rock, Blues Jazz, Hiphop, RnB, Country, Rap,
Trance, virtaully anything there is, though my favourite genre would just so happen to be metal...

Manchester airport) Metallica, Machine Head, COB, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Devildriver, LOG, Lacuna Coil and Korn which are all distinctly Metal I
know
Three interesting facts about me:
1. I won tickets to Hammerfest In Prestatyn and ended up walking out with the battered remains of the Defiled's keyboard,
which leads me nicely onto point 2 which is that when I do rarely have money, I collect keyboards
3. I've been in about 8 or 9 different bands during my time on this earth!
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, I've not made that many friends around the place....

Name: Dave Kennedy
Course: Politics and American Studies first year
Interests: Music, Video games, guitars, real ale, relaxing
Music: I listen to a little bit of anything really, apart from dance anthems. Bands include Iron Maiden, In Flames (old and new), Guns n Roses, Muse,
Rammstein, Killswitch, Bon Jovi (unashamedly so), Ayreon, Bruce Dickinson, BB King, Grant Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix, Bowie, Devin Townsend,
Grave Digger, Ice Cube, NWA, Gangstarr, Judas Priest & Halford, Joy Division, The Smiths, RHCP, Killswitch, Metallica. The list goes on and on.
Three things:
1. I'm pretty quiet and shy. If I have beer I morph into something totally different.
2. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junky, I love things that go fast. I've just signed up for sky diving.
3. I get people hilariously lost when they ask me to lead the way
Can't make a lot of the stuff next week because of work and other stuff but I'll try and get to as much as possible and am looking forward to
tomorrow and meeting you all.
No recent pics so here's one from before I cut my hair. No I don't always dress like that, sadly.
