<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
'''Katie-Louise Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. Which is strange, as she started her university career thinking she was honestly going to get some work done and read a lot of fun books. She can often be found in the company of [[Ben Walker]], and their more or less joining at the hip has earned them more than a few funny looks in the past. <br />
<br />
Having started her PA career pretending to be both a French woman and an easily distracted factory worker in ComedySoc's 2014 "acid trip" of a show ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'', Katie then had her post-show blues exploited by her fellow cast member [[Joe Hand]], who was directing HMS Pinafore 2015 at the time. Joe's heartless pragmatism (he needed more altos for the Sisters, Cousins and Aunts chorus) paid off, as she went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible when she boarded H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. She was seduced by the opportunity to be a Victorian lady, bob and repeat her status endlessly, even going as far as to buy the DVD of LOpSoc's performance of The Pirates of Penzance 2014 - a show which happened before she even came to university and thus she wasn't even in. In her words, "It's still a good show, who cares". Such commitment to the society earned her the title of LOpSoc's "Biggest Fan", a title which can now only be relinquished in the event of her death in a duel with another worthy foe.<br />
<br />
In August 2015, she joined the Fairy Chorus for the 2015 Harrogate run of Iolanthe, becoming a punk rock fairy who doesn't play by the rules (unless the Fairy King tells her to). She is now throwing herself fully into the role of Shaindel and also Grumpiest Yiddish Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof. She is as of yet uncertain of how she managed to convince the prod team that she is a natural mother, with the baby face that she has. (She is not complaining, she loves having a name). To be honest, she only joined to get a chance to club Ben into the dust.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Has managed to convince more or less everybody in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She isn't, and never has been.<br />
* Was responsible for the psychological destruction of [[Joe Hand]] at the 2015 Bunfight.<br />
* Produced enough static electricity with one hand fan during the run of HMS Pinafore to power all university buildings on Highfield for three days.<br />
* Best damn cake maker in the business.<br />
* Madame President of the Alto Revolution<br />
* Harbours a great love for William Shakespeare and Diet Coke - in fact, she likes this combination more than anyone else in the world.<br />

<div>== Biography == <br />
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]<br />
Born Benjamin Jonathan Oliver Walker, Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".<br />
<br />
Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". There, he made an excellent friend in his cup of tea, which was, to quote " the only thing that didn't have the capacity to hurt me." Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].<br />
<br />
His life's ambition is to never work anywhere where you have to wear a uniform.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.<br />
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).<br />
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.<br />
* Has almost died twice – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.<br />
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.<br />
* Partner in crime of [[Katie Giles]], and has never dated her. Not now, not ever.<br />
* Beautiful Coiffure award for an ungodly amount of hair gel from Genre Killer which was only fully gone five days later and that nobody will ever let go.<br />
* 60% Johnny Depp. (He's very proud of that.)<br />

=== Bio ===<br />
|Joe is a third year zoology student at Southampton, who kids himself that he'll be able to leave Southampton when he graduates and seek alternative arrangements in London, where the pavements are gold and only sometimes chewing gum. He also sometimes refers to himself in the third person. He is also the current LOpSoc secretary for the 2014/2015 year, and ordinary member for the 2015/2016 year. <br />
<br />
He has sung for 7 years in a choir, and for 3 of those was part of an a capella group. He owns 37 tortoises, a ferret, a St. Bernard, a cat, two chickens and three preying mantises called Haley, Ophelia and Beans.<br />
<br />
<br />
He guesses he'd probably like to end up living in the Lake District or something.<br />
<br />
<br />
Joe died in March 2014 when he was mercilessly shaved off of the face of [[Ulf]], his host organism.<br />

<hr />
<div>Barnaby is a person who defies description in all other ways except a new entry into the meme gallery, simply based from one entrance, comedy permutations of his name (the author's favourite is Barnababy) and the sheer fluffiness of his hair. <br />
<br />

<div>George moved slowly from being part of our wonderful orchestra for Sweeney Todd to eventually getting in on the madness by being the MD for H.M.S.Pinafore, and later part of the veritable mass of fairies for the fairy chorus.</div>Katie gileshttps://www.lopsoc.org.uk/index.php?title=Rhona_Graham&diff=5529Rhona Graham2015-10-11T17:28:47Z<p>Katie giles: </p>
<hr />
<div>Rhona is a languages student studying BA German and Spanish. She joined LOpSoc in 2014, during her first year, and was in the chorus for both Iolanthe and H.M.S. Pinafore, and is famous for her chorus characterisation of "Vodka Aunt" during the latter. She is an alto and very proud of that.<br />
<br />
When not mucking around in the chorus, Rhona enjoys tweeting and playing Quidditch.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* One half of Geona <br />
* Queen of sass and wit<br />
* Will nail you with a bitch face unseen by man before or since. Only [[Amy Wardle]] holds a more fearsome bitchface, and luckily they're good friends. Unluckily, a Amy/Rhona tag team would slay a country.</div>Katie gileshttps://www.lopsoc.org.uk/index.php?title=File:Iolanthe.jpg&diff=5525File:Iolanthe.jpg2015-10-11T17:11:42Z<p>Katie giles: </p>

<br />
'''Biography'''<br />
<br />
'''Katie Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. <br />
<br />
Having had a minor diversion into the "acid trip" of The Case of the Film Genre Killer in 2014 with ComedySoc, Katie then went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible once joining H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015 with [[Ben Walker]], having been told by [[Joe Hand]] their esteemed director that "It's the society of bastards, cripples and broken things." I wonder now whether that was an insult to ourselves, but I digress. She then had a taste of being a Victorian lady, able to muck around at the back with little power and little responsibility besides bobbing and repeating her status, and got hooked on the illusion of friends. Having earned herself the title of "Biggest Fan" (because what is life without a few puns on being a SCA?) and taking a quick trip to Fairyland, AKA Harrogate with the Harrogate run of Iolanthe, she is now throwing herself fully into the role of Grumpiest Russian Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof.<br />
<br />
Her ambition in life is to gain some power as a principal and then hope that the power doesn't corrupt her pure heart.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Has managed so far to convince people in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She is not. <br />
* Accidental brutal truths. (Sorry Joe.)<br />
* Creating a veritable hurricane with one lowly hand fan during H.M.S. Pinafore<br />
* Creating an alto force of nature with Rhona and Emma, to name but a few. We must head an alto revolution. <br />
* Bribing fellow cast members to love her with cake. It worked. And didn't kill them. They even enjoyed it. Rhona had three, and therefore I maintain that they can't have been so bad. <br />
*Buying DVDS of shows she wasn't even in, to know exactly what older members are talking about. <br />
*Again, biggest LOpSoc whore going. <br />
* Shakespeare. Just. Shakespeare. Never get her talking about Shakespeare. Fifteen minute rants about Victoriana Hamlet will happen. <br />

<div>== Biography == <br />
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]<br />
Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet" or "shit stirrer extrordinaire") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".<br />
<br />
Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].<br />
<br />
His life's ambition is to never work anywhere where you have to wear a uniform.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.<br />
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).<br />
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.<br />
* Almost died twice before he was 16 – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.<br />
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.<br />
* Teaming up with [[Katie Giles]] to create untold sass power and Shakespeare in normal conversation. <br />
* Attempting to dye his hair purple and having literally nothing happen. Because listening to folk in shop trying to sell you hair dye will never work. <br />

Having had a minor diversion into the "acid trip" of a show we called The Case of the Film Genre Killer in 2014 with ComedySoc, Katie then went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible once joining H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015 with [[Ben Walker]], having been told by [[Joe Hand]] their esteemed director that "It's the society of bastards, cripples and broken things." I wonder now whether that was an insult to ourselves, but I digress. She then had a taste of being a Victorian lady, able to muck around at the back with little power and little responsibility besides bobbing and repeating her status, and got hooked on the illusion of friends. Having earned herself the title of "Biggest Fan" (because what is life without a few puns on being a SCA?) and taking a quick trip to Fairyland, AKA Harrogate with the Harrogate run of Iolanthe, she is now throwing herself fully into the role of Grumpiest Russian Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Has managed so far to convince people in every show she's been in that she's dating [[Ben Walker]]. She is not. <br />
* Accidental brutal truths. (Sorry Joe.)<br />
* Creating a veritable hurricane with one lowly hand fan during H.M.S. Pinafore<br />
* Creating an alto force of nature with Rhona and Emma, to name but a few. We must head an alto revolution. <br />
* Bribing fellow cast members to love her with cake. It worked. And didn't kill them. They even enjoyed it. Rhona had three, and therefore I maintain that they can't have been so bad. <br />

<div>Rhona is a languages student studying BA German and Spanish. She joined LOpSoc in 2014, during her first year, and was in the chorus for both Iolanthe and H.M.S. Pinafore, and is famous for her chorus characterisation of "Vodka Aunt" during the latter. She is an alto and very proud of that.<br />

<div>== Biography == <br />
[[File:Bens_Punk_Rock_Adventure.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Ben in full fairy mode in Harrogate before the performance of Iolanthe 2015]]<br />
Ben is a second year English and philosophy student (though he prefers the term "philosopher poet" or "shit stirrer extrordinaire") who blundered into LOpSoc more or less by accident in his first year, and stayed because he liked the productions' constant use of the word "wherefore". He is the incumbent Loremaster for the 2015/16 academic year, which means he's now responsible for editing and updating all the pages on here to be more current and "on-message with LOpSoc's new corporate philosophy".<br />
<br />
Ben began his PA career searching for personal validation in acid trips of shows like ComedySoc's cross-PA production ''The Case of the Film Genre Killer'' and his own stand-up, with limited success. Soon after Genre Killer ended, he and fellow "innocent" first year [[Katie Giles]] were poached by HMS Pinafore director [[Joe Hand]] (the Inspector from ''Genre Killer'') to screw around in the back of his show, thus beginning a beautiful relationship with Victorian colonial propaganda. Ben then went up to Harrogate with the rest of LOpSoc to be a punk rock fairy - in his words, "if there are three words I want to describe me at all times, those would be the three". Building on that success, he's now taking a short holiday to Anatevka to be the world's worst Bolshevik in LOpSoc's 2016 production of [[Fiddler on the Roof]].<br />
<br />
His life's ambition is to never work anywhere where you have to wear a uniform.<br />
<br />
== Major Achievements ==<br />
* Broke the world record for usage of the word “aubergine” in 5 minutes of regular conversation.<br />
* Former TF2 EU Highlander Open quarter-finalist (thereby proving your headshot skill increases as your amount of friends decreases).<br />
* Has written nearly 150,000 words of terrible prose and poetry in his compilation “Streets Swallow Their Own Tails and Choke”.<br />
* Almost died twice before he was 16 – once due to appendicitis, once due to some terrible unpleasantness on Burgess Road involving a potato.<br />
* TV celebrity baker Paul Hollywood still believes Ben is a homeless apprentice gas fitter named Dan, whom he gave five pounds to help.<br />

Iolanthe was performed by LOpSoc in August 2015 at the 22nd International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, following its successful run in Southampton earlier in 2015. <br />
<br />
One of LOpSoc's more radical productions, this was a modernisation of the G&S operetta, updated to 1982 and gender-swapped.<br />
<br />
The production followed the success of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014 (Harrogate)]], Iolanthe went on to win 3 awards: Best Director, Best Costumes and Best Character Actress. <br />

<br />
Iolanthe was performed by LOpSoc in August 2015 at the 22nd International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, following its successful run in Southampton earlier in 2015. <br />
<br />
One of LOpSoc's more radical productions, this was a modernisation of the G&S operetta, updated to 1982 and gender-swapped.<br />
<br />
The production followed the success of [[Pirates of Penzance 2014 (Harrogate)]], Iolanthe went on to win 3 awards: Best Director, Best Costumes and Best Character Actress. <br />

<div>'''Biography'''<br />
<br />
'''Katie Giles''' is a second year English student who has veered horrendously off course into the arms of PA. <br />
<br />
Having had a minor diversion into the "acid trip" of a show we called The Case of the Film Genre Killer in 2014 with ComedySoc, Katie then went on to be the world's most cult-orientated fresher possible once joining H.M.S Pinafore in February 2015. (The author personally thinks it's entirely the fault of [[Joe Hand]], Genre Killer's star, that she's even here.) It's frankly embarrassing really. Having earned herself the title of "Biggest Fan" (because what is life without a few puns on being a SCA?) and taking a quick trip to Fairyland, AKA Harrogate with the Harrogate run of Iolanthe, she is now throwing herself fully into the role of Grumpiest Russian Peasant in the Land in LOpSoc's 2016 show, Fiddler on the Roof.<br />
