President: Alex Duke

Alex is this years El Presidento. Commonly referred to simply as 'The Duke', he'll be steering the ship this year (watching out for icebergs), and ensuring smooth operation of all the dodgy dealings that keeps our club up and running. Alex le Duke is a man of the mountains and can be frequently spotted on lakeland fells or welsh mountains during all months of the year, with his possy (crew) following closely behind. Alex is a hardened seamaster in the committee, having worked up the ranks from Trips Officer to Safety Officer to President, having accumulated a knowledge and wisdom that should see us through one more year of merry madness in the Peak District.

A very complimentary and/or realistic profile of Shona will appear here as soon as the pixies write one.

Our fun loving "rowdy fresher" has been involved in the club for the last three years mainly keeping the up the banter and ensuring the alcohol is flowing! This year Leanne is stepping into the role of treasurer, with her mathematical and sometimes logical mind she will be keeping the books in check, having some crazy fundraising ideas and hopefully keeping us out of the red. Leanne's main aim this year is to put her mark on the club. Who knows what this will involve? Maybe some irish escapades, night hikes and sophisticated cocktail drinking? One thing is for certain we will be shouting "Leannamo" in support! Just remember our treasurer can be easily seduced though... "one touch and she is horizontal".

Our plant & animal enthusiast is remaining on the committee for another year. Her calm and reasoned approach to life is a perfect match for the role of safety and training officer. Emily enjoys the odd tipple of cider and claims that she is definitely not tipsy; she just has "wobbly knees". Emily lives life to the max by travelling the world to experience different cultures and see some exotic flora & fauna. Our southern lass will ensure that everyone is included and enjoys the peak district as much as she does.

Trips Officer: Despina Berdeni

Our competent ex-treasurer will be taking on the role of Equipment Officer this year, and as an aspiring medic and top notch first aider will have no trouble in keeping our first aid kits etc up to date. On walks her good "directional compass" will no doubt keep you on track, although her moral compass doesn't always point precisely due North. Since joining the club Liv has behaved like a vintage of wine - she's mellowed and sweetened with age - (not that she needed to!) but is more drawn towards Ales and Guinness, especially on St. Patricks day! She is also a self-confessed chocoholic and known to secretly worship Elmo from Sesame Street.

Publicity Officer: Victoria Lund

Down from the wilds of the Cairngorms this wee Scottish lassie is the youngest on the committee. Fond of a pint, as well as the cricket she's a well rounded team player. Having recently completed a first aid course and the walking leaders training, putting everyone else to shame with her impressive, not to mention dare devil, compass skills, she's ready for whatever you can throw at her. Taking on the role of secretary she'll be sending you her little words of wisdom every week.

Social Secretary: Alice Hudson

Having Been in Sheffield (and a member of the walking club) for the past two years, our new social sec knows her way around the pubs of Sheffield including all the usual SUWC haunts. While not usually one for drinks of the alcoholic variety Alice has been known to occasionally indulge in the odd glass of gin or champagne- the latter of which leaving her rather unsteady on her feet! Known for her organisational skills we can expect some seamless End of Term meals and extra socials (cake and ale without the ale!) When not tasting... ahem studying rocks, Alice can be found examining the various plants to be found in and around the Peak District.
