Brian Lee.
Hi, I'm the guy who gets dumped with all the paperwork, also known as this year's President of the Wing Chun Society. Everyone knows that I am the ultimate control freak, which also means that I (should) know more or less everything that goes on in the club. If you have any questions, email me. I've been training with the two instructors in Nottingham for two years now. Ultimately, I hope I will become an instructor myself one day. (well... we can wish can't we?) |

Tom Prickett
Hi, I'm Tom, treasurer of the Wing Chun Society which permits me to order all mannor of pain inflicting equipment under the pretence of training. I also facilitate movements of large amoumts of our cash to my personal overseas investments ready for two months in the Caribbean. I started doing Wing Chun two years ago, so obviously now I'm ready to take on anyone who thinks they're hard enough. Besides Wing Chun, I also enjoy surfing and swimming regularly - all of which I'm sure you're interested to hear, so as an added bonus I'll let slip that I'm doing a math's degree as well (just don't tell anyone - it interferes with my hard image!). email: tomprickett@perfectmail.com |

James Mathrick
Hi, I'm James, the General Sec for the club. This means it's usually me that Brian goes to if he's stressed and can't cope (usually with the web page) :P Other than a couple of martial arts and stuff, I do a Computer Science degree. Despite this, I actually do a lot of theory/coding work and generally computer related stuff. Currently I'm writing this passage, after which I'll have finished it. |

Andrew Smith
Hi, I'm Andy the social sec. My job consists of two highly important roles. Firstly, I sell Cr(isis) tickets and secondly, I organise the alcoholic orgies. If anyone has any ideas for amazing club social events, please feel free to come and discuss them with me. I've been studying Wing Chun for two years at the university under both Sifu's, and hope to continue with Wing Chun for many years to come. As a physics student, I constantly need to release pent up aggression and frustration. Wing Chun has helped me do this and kept me from resorting to violence on old age pensioners and small fluffy animals, thus keeping me on the path of righteousness and out of prison. See you around. |
