Who?

The SUGC Committee 2008-2009

name Mark Pearce
committee position Captain
e-mail mgp104@soton.ac.uk
Newly voted in as our club captain for 2008/2009, Mark heads up to Lasham more than anyone to make use of Denz. If you have a question about joining, Mark is your man.
name Emeric "Belgium" Massaut
committee position Vice Captain
e-mail gliding@massaut.be
Well he's a crazy Belgian who has flown the PW-5. Need we say more? Just hide any food from him if he's near you at the airfield; he's a hungry shark!! Recently honoured as Director of Gear-up Landings.
name Calum Leslie
committee position Treasurer
e-mail cl1v07@soton.ac.uk
Scraping onto the committee through the Social Sec position, I am the one to blame for everyone elses controversial pen pictures! I soloed in May and am currently working on my bronze.
name Russell Newman
committee position Webmaster
e-mail rn2@ecs.soton.ac.uk
Wonder why this website is so damn awesome? Look no further! We found Russell on the run after hacking into the NASA database, and decided he qualified for SUGC webmaster.
name Vidullan Surendran
committee position Secretary

Other SUGC Regulars

name Andrew Clarkson
Now in his last year, Andrew was a bit late to get started with gliding. He remains the only person that seems to enjoy jet movements.
name Aria Noroozpour
New to the club this year, Aria recently flew his first solo. After a days gliding you may be lucky enough to hear his views on middle eastern politics and alien landings during the journey home.
name Matthew Plumridge
Matt has a growing reputation for doing crazy stuff in gliders, then putting it on youtube! Be sure to check your trailer before you put your glider away, as matt may be sleeping in it.
name Alex Perevedentsev
Alex set a club record by being the only person to land at the wrong airfield on his first solo flight. After being picked up by the RAF, he was given back to us at Lasham and has thus been awarded the status of a regular member.
name Rob "Fresh" Hines
It has got to be said, things don't get much fresher than Rob. Admittedly, though, he's not quite as fresh when it comes to gliding, having sneaked in some years experience before uni. Rob is now the ex club captain, but watch out as he'll still be around at the inter unis.
name Matt "Guinness Monster" Bennett
Offering a healthy alternative to the PNGC airfield clubhouse. Want an excuse to get drunk? Look no further. See any spelin mistakes on the website? That would be his fault too. Enjoys early morning starts as much as gnawing through a winch cable (and winch).
