Jared Wason
Jared joined for Double Feature 2019, spurred on from his viewing of Princess Ida 2019 to support the showstopping and talented Kira Jukes, and shortly thereafter found themselves volunteering for the position of ordinary member on the committee, despite less than half the society knowing their name at that point...
Jared was hesitant at first, but truly had fun playing the unofficial part of Guy Fieri in the chorus of Double Feature 2019. Not long afterwards, they found themmself on a prod team, when the show fell into committee care for H.M.S. Pinafore 2020, helping Kira with graphics and props, (including a yellow background on the promotional material. It is worth noting that Jared is yellow/blue colourblind...), and patenting the infamous 'damme damme' dance, in addition to partaking in the great ritual first coined by Billy Boulton simply known as "true..!".
Jared remained on committee for a further 2 years, serving a term as the laboured secretary under Daniel Williams before exhaustedly taking back the mantle of ordinary member, eager to reclaim the title of 'protector of Pepe' (despite Pepe remaining in Southampton, Jared not willing to risk the wrath they might witness were they to remove Pepe from his ancestral home), and continue on the committee following the horror of COVID-19 to see the society into a new era and the 50th anniversary celebrations! Although not on the ground for this final year, they continued to support the society from afar, with their whole heart, proud to say that they were there when Judith Simmonds joined committee, and then became president.
Despite being a painstakingly hopeless romantic, Jared will indeed refrain from anything soppy or weirdly poetic in this article, at least for the time being, but that is of course subject to change (so watch this space...)
Jared will say, however, that they are happy to have been here.
