The Hustings took place today in New Theatre. The turn-out was excellent, with a full house of members turning up to vote. The President was elected first, so that the other nominees could run for other positions, and it is with great pleasure that we announce that Matt Leventhall was elected New Theatre President with a strong majority. Matt has been on the Committee for two years, first as Technical Manager ‘06/’07, then as House Manager this year. On top of these, Matt is the curent Societies Officer on the Students’ Union Executive, so is highly qualified for the job.

The other positions were hugely contested. The members heard a one minute speech from each candidate, and then had an opportunity to ask questions. A vote was taken to elect two Costume Managers, since the job is too big for one person to do alone. The results were:

 President: Matt Leventhall

Secretary: Nick Medhurst

Treasurer: Oliver Margolis

Theatre Manager: Andy McNamee

Publicity: Lucy Butler

Productions Co-ordinator: Jonny Steer

Costume Managers: Laura Free and Lauren Knight

Workshop Managers: Katie Blumenblatt and Vicky Auckland

House Manager: Will Vickers

External Events / Socials Co-ordinator: Lee Denny

Edinburgh Co-ordinator: Anthony Lau

Technical Director: Phil Geller

Business Manager: Anna Sherriff

Huge Congratulations to all who got elected, and thanks to all who ran. It was highly competetive. The hand-over will take place over the course of the coming weeks, and the new Committee will take over from the current Committee in the last week of term.

Last two nights of the Crucible coming up, if you’ve not seen it yet, come down and watch it. And then a big after-party at the top of Derby Road on Saturday night. Look for the balcony with people on it just below the Ropewalk.
