Hi I’m James and I’m president of Orbital. My job is to ensure that everything is running smoothly in the society and to try and assist all my committee members with their particular tasks and to plan and the orbital calendar year. I actually did not start in Orbital accommodation, but did not like it al that much so I decided to move to the Hawthorns. Orbital were so good to me then that I felt I should give something back. I want to make Orbital as accessible as possible for everyone so we can all enjoy ourselves from freshers through to the end of the year.

Hey, I'm Alison, this year's Orbital VP. My own freshers was so fun. Friendly people, great nights out and no work to do. Amazing! Looking back I don’t think I appreciated it enough, and so I’m totally going to relive it with you and the rest of Orbital this year! I lived in Winkworth House last year and loved it so much for the independence, fantastic location and lovely people … things that no doubt sum up all the Orbital places! As VP, I’ll be working with the Orbital team to sort out a great Freshers week to kick start a great year! I am very excited to meet you all! Wishing you a warm welcome to the student life … and for most of you, to Bristol!

Hey, I’m Si and I’m the money man for this year. I’m studying geography so I should have plenty of time for arranging events and making sure we’ve got some cash for the whole year so we can continue to put on nights. I used to live in Unite house which was pretty good; being in the middle of Bristol surrounded by cool people. I had an awesome first year, with all the nights out, and we’re here tomake sure yours will be just as good, if not better. See you all in October for a sweet Freshers Fortnight- yeah we do things properly, because 1 week isn’t enough!

I'm Emily and am secretary for Orbital this year. I'm currently studying Ancient History and am part of the uni waterpolo team and cheerleading squad.

Hi, I’m Kate. I’m one half of the social secs and I’m very excited for Fresher’s this year. Last year I had an absolutely amazing Fresher’s and I’m determined to make all yours as good as mine if not better. I love fancy dress and just generally going out and last year I learnt the art of being sick neatly and also how to fall over in front of around 100 Freshers at a time. I’m currently studying Childhood Studies; which isn’t a made up degree, and loving it and I live in Clifton Village with some very beautiful people. Me and Jed will be organising most social events for this year so if there’s anything you want to happen let us know xo

I’m Jed and last year I lived in the hawthorns and hopefully I will still be on my economics course next year. I’m in the university racing, shooting and barrel societies and along with Matt and Hamish am a member of the mighty orbital rugby club. The best thing I did at university was to get involved in orbital and join the rugby team I can’t recommend it enough! I had a great fresher’s week and carried it on through most of the year. It’s my and Kate’s job to ensure that you all have plenty of opportunities to get rowdy and have a good laugh during fresher’s week

This bio hasn’t been finished yet, sorry about that! If you would like to learn more about this committee member then click on their photo to visit their facebook page. Some of the committee are away this summer and have not had chance to write their profiles yet (this may explain the unfortunate choice of photo as well!). This site will be updated throughout the summer and all the committee members will be at the welcome meetings as well.

I’m Alex and one of the rare breeds of people in Bristol you’ll find with a (gasp) Northern accent! I’m from Blackpool and have loved first year at Bristol so much that I’m doing it again – after a year of languages I’m switching to geography. I lived at Richmond Terrace last year which was amazing because of the people and location, but am living in Clifton with friends this year. My freshers week (and year) was great so I want to make it as good as possible for the next set of 1st years; looking forward to meeting and partying with you all, and as part of Orbital giving you a week and year to remember!

Hi, I'm Flick, I'm studying Chemistry and do a lot of sport in my spare time. Last year I was in Favell house, which is a bit out of the way from the other uni halls, so having the Orbital reps come and visit and all the Orbital events during freshers made those daunting first couple of weeks a lot more fun. My advice for your freshers year is to get involved, throw yourself into freshers week and sign up to far too many things at freshers fair, doing that means you're set up with friends and fun for the rest of the year. I'm pretty sure the first few weeks are going to be some of the best (/most hungover) of your life. See you soon. X
