ever ready to volunteer for anything, i got involved in a number of projects whilst a student. it all began when i co-edited and produced the 1992 freshers' handbook which, with all due modesty, i revolutionized in terms of production standards. from there through a failed attempts to be elected nus rep and jcr president [no hack - no flack] to a much more satisfying appointment as secretary to the keble ball 1993 committee. far be it from me to let it rest there as i was sucessfully elected jcr secretary in the same year - establishing myself as the constitution-meister and photocopying guru. no easy task.

i spent my year out working in the development office at keble. my responsibilities in the development office included design, setting and distribution of numerous items of print including an alumni newsletter called the brick.

although no longer a member of staff, I continue to produce the brick and the record.

as IT guru, i had general responsibility for the development office and manage the technical aspects of a large alumni database called Fundraising Pro for which keble was a beta testing site.

this work was coincidental with a variety of similar work, self employed, under the name amulation. my clients included other oxford colleges and small businesses in the vicinity. this work continues on an occasional basis - most notably as producer of the two keble alumni publications The Record and the brick, and, curiously, vocal work (you can hear my voice each week on the recorded information lines) for the Screen on Baker Street and and The Screen on the Green Islington cinemas (www.screencinemas.co.uk).
