Hello All.
So, its that time of year again - time for the traditional introductions thread. Whether you're new or old to the club, introduce yourself and maybe tell us a few things about what you like to do and that kind of thing. I'll get the ball rolling.
My name is Ed. I'm the Captain and Treasurer of the club. This means that when you see me, I'll either be barking orders at you or trying to extract money from you. Don't be fooled though, I am a reasonably nice person if you catch me at the right time. Oh, and I also own the big shiny red bow that you might have seen at the YUSU Fair.
I'm a third year historian, and apart from archery, I like doing exciting things like playing the guitar, reading, drinking tea and listening to heavy metal. And other things occasionally.
Who's next?

I'm Ben, I'm 21, I'm a fourth third year Biology student. I'm a compound archer, and if you at the AU Fair my bow was the black & silver one. I don't have a committee position like Ed there so I'll doubt you'll see my barking orders or extracting money from people.
Archery is my main hobby, internet gaming is my other one with EVE Online being my poison at the moment. Like Ed I also enjoy music but I don't play any instruments. I like most things from classic rock (Boston, ZZ Top) to modern pop/rock (Kings of Leon, KT Tunstall, Pendulum). I'm also a member of the paintball club.

I'm Jess, I'm the ripe old age of 22 and might start complaining about my back if I get any older. Last year I graduated as a historian, this year I'm doing my masters in writing directing and performance. My bow is the very colour co-ordinated black and white one, and you might recognise me as the person Ed sneers at most.
I play a bit of music with Ed; I play a bit of paintball with Ben and Timothy, and venture to Wendyhouse every so often in Leeds for a night out. I'm not part of the committee but I might as well be; I'll be helping out at most sessions.

Hello peoples,
I'm Ivan, I'm 20 and a second year psychologist. You can spot me easily during sessions, I'm the foreign-looking guy who shoots a black recurve and is running around helping with stuff. I also happen to be one of the equipment officers for the club. If you have any problems or questions I'm more than happy to help out.
I'm also an avid juggler, interested in languages and occasional classical guitar player. I usually listen to indie, progressive and lots of post-rock... if you know who Tracer AMC or Mono are you have just gained a few points on my book.
... not that I actually have a book. Or keep track of points. Ok, I shut up now.

Yo folks, I'm Raph, and I'm a fifth year. That's right, I already have a Masters degree and thus am Better Than You. It also makes me as old as Jess, and so you may hear me make several old man noises when I try to stand up after sitting for too long. I'm doing a second Masters in Music (Vocal Studies), and as such spend much of my free time singing, playing the piano and doing other things related to treading the boards. I'm also affiliated with YSC and G&S as well as several choirs, so you may see me shamelessly plugging one or more of the above. I'm a bit of a gamer too, and any extra spare time is devoted to either World of Warcraft (yes, yes. Hush.) or messing around on my Wii. My bow is the shiny blue Hoyt. That's about all, now I need to take a banana loaf out of the oven before it burns. See y'all on the shooting line.

Well i was just going to copy my old one (for i think the 4th year in a row now :S) But everyone else seems to be writing new ones, soo.... I'm tim, In theory i'm in charge of the archery club being president and all... at least they let me think i am... but i know i'm not really I'm a 4th year math student and occasionally shoot a compound bow. Most of the sessions you'll see me sorting out the coaches, and teaching all the new people, so you'll get to know me quite well I'm also the treasurer of the Paintball club, and try and fit in some work between all the sports that I do

Hmm, well ... Hi guys.
I'm Doddy ( names Craig second name vaguely translates as Doddy so most people stick with that ... call me what you will though ), and I'm totally new to the board being a fresher ( or newbie as you guys call us ) and all.
I missed you at the freshers fair but did manage to get a hold of one of your little flyer ticketty things, thats how I'm here (oh by the way your flyers say probards, not proboards ... I took a guess ).
I have no idea where you meet and no idea if I need to sign up to something official ... but I would REALLY like to join the archery club ... I don't have much in the way of experience but whenever I get the chance to shoot a bow I always go for it.
College email is cdd501 if anyone wouldn't mind droppin' me a little info with what i need to do to join officially and all that.
Thanks Craig

Twas not me! That was Timofy! Hehehe anyway...
Hi Yall!
Im Lucy : ) I actually am not in York this term, but Ill be there after Christmas! I can't wait to be back in England, Texas is pretty warm at this time of year. I'm a fourth year about to graduate... hmm what else are people putting in these.. Well Teddy started off the music thing- I like alternative "indie" stuff, but do love the rock at WendyHouse as well! Oh, and I don't have an official position in the committee, either, but I make a lot of cookies for the competitions and act as a bit of a pep squad for the sedate and team-spirit-needing people (That's you Teddy). Its a good thing I found people to put up with me ; ), though I suspect its simply for the cookies...
Don't let Teddy and Timmy intimidate you, they're very sweet! : D And don't trust Ivan- he's from Venoozlia! jkjk In any case everybody's pretty great. Except for Jess. He just smells. (Im just kidding, I love your odor, darlin, even if everyone else runs away!) Im excited to meet all you new people next term (when you won't be new anymore- yay!) I hope yall have fun and stick with it (its worth it, definitely).

Oh, and Teddy says that although Jester has claimed the title of "person Ed sneers at the most" I can come in second place! Yay ;D

Hullo! My name is Amy and I am also a dirty dirty Fresher. I've never done archery before, so when I came to the session on Saturday (25th) I had good fun and I'm definately gonna keep it going! Hooray for me! So yeah. I'm 18 and originally from Birmingham. Most of the people back home call me Am-yuh because of their silly accents but any pronounciation of my name will do just fine. I'm here studying French and Spanish Language and Linguistics, which makes me sound a lot cleverer than I am (score!). I'm into a lot of music, but if i had to pin myself down to genres then I'd go for Ska. The Specials, Bad Manners, The Pirahnas, etc, mean good times. Other than that general "alternative" music is good. Metal and rock, you know. I could reel off a list of bands and songs but that'd be boring and my hand would hurt, so I'll save everyone the suffering.. though I will mention that Queen are my ultimate favourite band EVAR. My other interests include bumming around, watching any and every film I hear about, playing whatever games my poor little laptop can comprehend (Warcraft 3 is the most it can take..), cheerleading (apparently) and food. Mmm, food. Don't really know what else to say.. I'm hardly shy so someone will probably get to know me at some point and then they can tell you all about me. I'm too lazy
