Exec of 2014/15
This year we welcome Dom, last year's VP, back as president to lead us through the next year. Harry and Alex are staying on temporarily and I'm still around as Web Officer. Unfortunately we're down to just the one full-time physicist, though David does do half maths and half physics!
