• Jack Leigh

  Social Secretary and Acting Netwalda
  Jack, a.k.a Bragi, 'er agaetr at speki ok mest at malsnild ok ordfimi' (Gylfaginning, 26); known for his love of language and worshipped for his innate knowledge of grammar. He is acutely aware that although you can lead an ASNaC to a social situation you cannot make them drink. He lives with an alchemist and spends his time rock and roll dancing, aiding his spiritual community and once dressed as a woman in the spirit of exploration. (verbally awarded Best Cross-Dresser of Clemoes 2009.)

• Christopher 'Kit' Finn

  Gesta Editor
  And so it happened in the year MMVIII, that a most bright and blessed boy was bestowed upon the ASNaCs. Having tired of his Christian name, he adopted the name Kit instead and was afterwards also dubbed Hakon Aethelstansfostri for his charitable demeanor, unusual among Germanicists. Latin poetry flows from his mouth like mead in the hall and with his prodigious wit he is most suitable for the purpose of capturing the obscure moments of ASNaC in the Gesta manuscript.

• Bec Wilkinson

  Hugo Lomax Memorial Officer for Cider Promotion and Mastering Elves
  Bec, whilst once mistaken for an elf (in the non-Tolkienesque understanding of the term), she's only 4 foot 11 (and a half!), she is perfect for mastering them. With a quick tongue and a fiery temper she keeps them in check. She is not known as Gudrun for nothing! Academically focussed on all things Germanic and non academically on smiling and enjoying life.

• Vanessa Robinson

  Britannia Officer

• Elizabeth Kershaw

  Gesta Editor
  Elisabeth, a.k.a Thor, God of Holepunching (don't ask) likes innuendo (inyourendo), holepunching and cheese and runs a constant vendetta against the evils of the subversive Welsh. She is usually to be found in Old English lectures making dodgy noises and cackling, and is trying to subdue the CSS monsters with hard sweord and long spear as we speak.

• Clare Bristow

  Food Officer
  Clare performed food-related miracles from an early age, including predicting (through divine foreknowledge) when the oven timer would go off; successfully baking bread in a microwave; feeding 5000 hungry ASNaCs (editorial note: this may be a scribal error for 5); and discovering a pudding shaped like the Sutton Hoo helmet. She lived a pious life, abstaining from unwholesome things when there was a 'k' in the month, and was eventually martyred by Germanicists for learning too much Welsh.

• Alexia Trensch

  Stash Provider

• Mairead Kelly

  Secretary
  Mairead was born precisely one thousand years and one month after the death of the blessed Saint Dunstan, and never missed the opportunity to gloat about it. She went by many names, most of them mispronounced, and her feast day is celebrated with tea, sherry, scones, and other such old-womanly pursuits. Least of all the faithful, her innate gift for languages stretched only as far as a Russo-Jamaican accent could take her, and she is remembered largely for being a 'deformed hybrid' somewhere in-between a Germanicist and Celticist, in accordance with the true law of history.

• Moa Hoijer

  Vice President
  a.k.a 'The Twinkette': Hwæt! And lo! did an apparition shrouded in pink burst forth upon ASNaCjar, bestowing much-needed revision sessions and much unnecessary Eurovision-Song-Contest impersonations upon this, the first year of ASNaCs, bringing joy upon the multitudes and alarm and deafness upon the hung-over in each and every conceivable language.

• Albert Fenton

  Co-President
  According to the latest edition of Gesta Asnacorum, co-President Albert 'enjoys waterboarding, snowballing and misunderstanding the definitions of slang terms' - along with having his photo taken with distressingly young looking girls (i.e. Daisy). However, he assures us that he does have some more innocent pursuits, including folk music, real ale, writing disturbing fanfic and having a lefty rant when he sees a Daily Mail in the common room.

• Catherine Flavelle

  Co-President
  Catherine is a fiery haired maiden who enjoys fine ale above all other provisions made by our Faeder on Heofonum. Genealogies, period novels, and of course beer are some of the things this saint rates highly, and if you ever need her assistance you can find her in her heofonlicne ham, the pub. She is soon to be martyred by the viking Anders Blarstraumr for being too talkative, but don't worry folks - she plans to outwit him with Old Irish deuterotonic verb forms.

• Hugo Gye

  Treasurer and Archiepiscopus Trinitatis
  Hugo drifted into Asnac through a mixture of divine will and aimless wandering; his ascent to the Asnac Treasury was even more unexpected. His qualifications for the job include a passion for book-keeping and a hatred of profligacy. When he can tear himself away from the Asnac Society, his two hobbies are jumping and bacon.

• Frankie Dubery

  Access Officer
  a.k.a. Angrboða. Newnham, 3rd year. Loves Vikings, swords, dragons and the Dream of the Rood. Outside of the joys of ASNaC does historical re-enactment, archery, aikido, acrobalance, bodypainting, trapeze, stilts, fire-dancing and acrobatic rock and roll dancing. Wants to be a costume designer or an Irish scribe's cat.

• Levi Roach

  Grad Liaison Officer
  Levi's qualifications as Grad Liaison Officer are none but the finest: he is both a grad and, upon occasion, he liaises. His feats include the ability to drink ten pints and still remember Sawyer numbers off the top of his head, being martyred at the hands of the vikings (it tickled), and ranting about theories of the Anglo-Saxon state propagated in 'the other place'.

  Film Officer

• Paul Gazzoli

  Snuff Procurement Officer for Ladies and Gentlemen of Distinction

  Peredur Glyn Davies Memorial Officer for Beer Education and Pub Liaison
