Committee 2024/2025

President Egg

Hi I’m Solveig (silent g) and I’m super excited to be this year’s president!! I’m a fourth year studying sociology and social policy, and this summer am guiding backpacking, canoeing, and climbing trips in Northern Minnesota :)) so excited to meet new members and see you all once again !!

Lil Treasurer

Hi I’m Lily I’m a third year history student and I’ll be looking after the club finances. My role is to make sure you get the best value out of our membership, ensure money is directed where the club wants it, and to keep us afloat. I love being part of the EUMC and how accessible it makes the outdoors at uni and I can’t wait to collect your debts next year 😉

Secretary Mergler

Hey I’m Milo (@milomergler), a third-year PPE student and this year’s secretary! I’m super psyched for all things outdoors but get particularly excited when there’s ice involved! As secretary, I’m here to help the president run the club in any way that I can, including handling memberships and documenting all committee proceedings. I also manage the club’s email, so if you have any questions about the EUMC, feel free to email me at mountaineering@ed.ac.uk or message me directly!

Social Sec 1

How's it going team? I’m Frank, half of the social sec duo with the fabulous Sandy, for what is going to be an infamous year in the EUMC. As your social secs we will be ensuring you feel awful in your 9am lectures on friday, it's a job we take very seriously. I’m a fourth-year biochem but I mostly participate in– bouldering, swimming, mountain biking, and general shenanigans. I was totally new to the GREAT outdoors when I joined the EUMC back in my day so if you have any questions about anything don't hesitate to shoot me a message @fivenightsatfrankies or s2147168@ed.ac.uk! This summer Sandy’s been gallivanting around Scotland and I’ve been spreading infectious diseases in Canada but our priority has been concocting some wicked schemes that we can't wait to unleash on you all. The psyche has never been higher, the motivation to actually do my degree never lower !

Social Sec 2

Hi everyone, I’m Sandy (sandymoore05), second year physics student and half of your social secs this year! Together with Frankie I’ll be organising all the incredible socials we have lined up for the coming year.- It’s gonna be so sick. As a GBH resident myself, look out for some massive socials in the legendary home of the EUMC. When I’m not locked inside the Nucleus doing assignments, you’ll find me climbing, skiing, swimming, and generally enjoying all Scotland has to offer (there’s a lot!). Can’t wait to see you all soon!!

Climbing Sec 1

Hey there past, present, and future mountaineers. My name's Tom Gill and I will be one of your climbing secretaries alongside Megan Loftus! Between us we will try and get you climbing as much as you can this year. You can expect weekly indoor bouldering, and biweekly outdoor climbing shenanigans - bouldering, sport, or the wonderful trad. Come along with any experience! I came to uni to study engineering, but thanks to the club have found myself spending far more time climbing, planning climbing, or being otherwise outside. The past two years with the help of the club I've been racking up experience and gear (and a hammock), which has opened so many doors, and I hope Meg and I can help you do the same!

Climbing Sec 2

Climbing sec post Hi my name is Meg and along with the marvellous Tom Gill I will have the pleasure of taking all you psyched beans climbing this year! I love all things adventurous, be it freezing cold belay ledges, terrifying slab problems or getting stuck on a sailing boat in Norway with my bestie Lara (we are trying to make it home for freshers week I promise). Cannot wait to meet you all this autumn and go on some more ridiculous adventures together! If you have any questions or concerns or anything I would love to be texted (it would make me feel cool and important) at @meg_loftus

Bothy Sec

hi there! I'm Katie and I'm the bothy secretary. I spend my time procrastinating uni work by going to the mountains (I'm a geologist, so mountaineering counts as work right!?), and just take any excuse to be outside. as well as enjoying being silly in the mountains, I am also a keen trail runner and surfer if you have any questions about the bothy, or want to stay, either email the bothy email or text me on 07582 727144 ! looking forward to meeting lots of new faces in september, you'll have the best time in the eumc

Assistant Safety and Training Sec

Yo, I’m Charlie and I’m going to be the assistant safety and training sec. That means I will be helping Robbie in his noble goal of preventing any freshers from colliding with the ground. This is often difficult as ground falls and freshers are a match made in heaven. I love all things outdoors, but particularly love adventurous trad climbing. I am also a psyched winter bean occasionally found swinging tools haphazardly into ice and turf.

Competition Sec

Hey! I’m Connie, a third year sport science student and I will be this year’s competition secretary! I’ve been climbing for around 8 years and I love all types of climbing and training. I’ll be running our competition team that will compete at the British University championships and also organising some other fun comps for everyone to get involved in! If you’ve got any questions regarding the competition team then don’t hesitate to ask!

Librarian

I'm Charles, Journal Editor for this year. I love reading about the club's 'colourful' history and trying to recreate the most mental stories of the past. I'm not over being in GBH last year so I'll probably try and stick around there as much as possible. I do not rate the hangar.

Will's fantastic wonderful shop

Hey, I’m William. As your gear sec for next year, my job is to hire out the club gear to you for cheap. Hopefully, this means you can enjoy the outdoors and still have some money to spend at the socials!! Come and visit me in the gear store (mind your head if you are tall!) I’m a second year Geography student, I love climbing and I’m allergic to cats.

Meet Sec

Hey everyone, my name is Tom Mearns and I am a fourth year History and Politics student. I’m from Bethesda (Maryland, USA; not Wales). I’ve been in the club since the Fresher’s BBQ of my first year. I picked Edinburgh over St. Andrews after seeing the EUMC Instagram, which may have been one of my best decisions ever. I like climbing, some hillwalking (when the company is good enough), skiing, and cycling. Having been Bothy Secretary and Bothy Apprentice, I’m also happy to answer any questions about this fantastic resource we have. If you’re a nervous fresher, we’ve all been there. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Best, Tom

Environmental Sec

Hellooo! My name's Eva, a third year geology student, and this years Environmental sec!! I enjoy doing anything that gets me outdoors, whether its hiking, climbing, or taking a dip in one of Scotland's freezing lochs. My job will be organising Environmentally focused volunteering days, and working to help make the club more sustainable. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, and I am looking forward to meeting you all in September .

Wellbeing and inclusivity Sec

Howdy Buckaroos! I'm Jonny a 5th year med student and I am very excited to be your Wellbeing and Inclusivity Officer! You can usually find me wild swimming, climbing at a world renound venue (Aberdour), or feeding some starved Yummicks. My job is to promote a kind and inclusive environment within the club, making mountains and wild spaces as accessible as possible. I'll also be organising wellbeing activities including cake baking, pot lucks and movie nights! Finally I act to support and signpost those with any wellbeing concerns to relevant student services. If you have any questions or ideas, drop a line to @jonnylangshucks or s2017885@ed.ac.uk. See you in September ya filthy animals!
