This is the motley bunch known formally as the committee of the UBMC. Within weeks I'm sure you will discover the ill-founded nature of this formality. We are here to run the clubs dealings and make sure all trips are a success. If you have an issue any member will be willing to help!

Our fearless leader, whose energies carefully divided between crag and pub, will guide us throughout the year. He is a fantastic example of how even the short, old and ugly can manage to make a mess of climbing E-grades. Despite these obvious disadvantages he is a sort of talisman, and one for which we are proud.

Vice Harry is Alan's right hand man (the position formally known as slave) and is so enthusiastic about climbing he'd live at a crag if he could. He has been known to climb in the rain, in the dark or even after too many rounds at the pub! Harry is around to help take care of some of the menial tasks Alan considers below him, but also as an experienced climbing to show everyone how it's done.

Emily is technically in charge of the clubs finance, however due to a mounting list of embarrassing quotes, you'll probably be able to blackmail money back off her if you persist in repeating them enough. In addition to hoarding beer money Emily is a highly proficient climber, drawn to the Avon Gorge at times of fair weather, or promise of Topless male climbers for which she is particularly fond.

Due to his superior penmanship and willingness to wear skirts, lacking enthusiastic female members, Dave was the natural choice for club secretary. He has been known to climb on rock, and will regale member with tales of epics, which, may or may not be true. He will be looking after the admin and spending the remaining time concocting further tales of braveness.

Calum is a 2nd year Med student and, as such should know a bit about what to do when an injury occurs. He ended up on the committee by accident, perusing a free pint. As gear sec, he is the one to find if you require kit. He is also a very keen climber, so whether it is rope or rope buddy you require, Calum is your man. Be warned, his enthusiasm and ambition vastly outweigh his ability in the climbing respect.

Magnus probably has some of the most impressive hair in the club (sorry girls!) He is also the only man I know to have survived 2 electrocutions and hypothermia! Thereby, with this impressive record of surviving epics, was the obvious choice to teach members safe and useful climbing practices through training sessions and trips.

These two beautiful young ladies' sole responsibility is your enjoyment. Between the two of them they morph into one social sec and will hopefully lead us on many adventures and drunken shenanigans. They'll also be organizing accommodations and non-drunken social events throughout the year. Stop press. It was recently discovered Paula spent a good summer working in a Lap dancing / stripers club. At the time of print she appears to be keen to maintain her skills in the above. Call for enquiries.

These 3 wise old men will be looking over the club, to pass on their many, many years of experience and ensure all runs smoothly. Luke will organize various bouldering competitions over the year, so if you consider yourself to be a bit of a hero, get in touch with him.
