Members of the 44th during the year 2003-2004

Gavin Hardy - Chairman 2003/2004 All Hail Chairman Gav! Good organisational skills; helpful; powerful(!); good at activities (cos he decides what we do!); enjoys sport; respected. Distinguishing features: Looks like Gav Nickname: Chairman Gav

Michael Joyce The unit's "Joker". Lively, lazy - a walking contradiction. Loud, proud and flatulent are but a few words to describe Joycey - an indispensible member of the 44th. Distinguishing features: Loose shaggy droopy black afro; larger than life (in many ways) Nicknames: Stubby; Joycey; Gladys

Sam Johnson - Quartermaster 2003/2004 Sam has recently become the unit kit manager and some say he's become just a little power crazy. Even still, Sam brings great qualities to the group, even though some judge him as being 'over enthusiastic' at times! Distinguishing features: Extreme music tastes (if that counts as a distinguishing feature) Nickname: Bud

Chris Gallant Known to many as "Chrissy G" but also goes by name of "Happy Hands" - but that's a story for another time. With his wide smile and unconventional ways, Chris is just Chris. Good at organising big public events such as school Quiz Nights. Distinguishing features: Wide smile, Ken Docherty quiff Nicknames: Chrissy G; Happy Hans

Sam Coe - Secretary 2002/2003/2004 Being a valuable member of the unit with his individual ideas and leadership qualities, Coe-ee also has a great singing voice which he is not afraid to share! Distinguishing features: Muscular; Buff Nickname: Coe-ee

Richard Ellison Rich is competitive and cheery like a little sport elf. Musically talented - his wind arrangements have brought the house down on numerous occasions (although not recommended in the close confines of a hike tent) Distinguishing features: Big scar on thigh; blond rugby physique Nicknames: Sheepy; Rich

Robin Griffiths Unconventional. Not very conversational - the quieter member of the unit. His opinion however is often sought and highly valued. Has a disconcerting habit of just 'appearing' at your side - just like Lurch from the Addams Family! Distiguishing features: Tall; Cheesey grin Nickname: Rob

Adam Lewis A valued member of the unit. Participates in all unit events - specialities being Lawn Darts (reigning unit champion), Dragon Boat Racing and D of E. Distinguishing features: Gerbil features; not tall Nicknames: Huey

Robert Hayes Interested in sports, especially football. Likes comedy and action films. When using sharp implements, must have first aider standing by - "Hmmm, this knife looks sharp ...."! Distinguishing features: Innocent expression and happy smile Nickname: Rob

Andrew Hitchcock His unique style at driving his 50cc scrambler might account for his inability to converse quietly. Likes to put up shelves in the unit hut and hide pool balls. One of the lead singers of the unit, Andy's soprano voice is invaluable. Distinguishing features: Deaf & Loud Nicknames: Brandan; Alf

Daniel Whisson Daniel is the natural hard man of the unit, with his nail biting, tooth slashing and milk drinking ways he has become the rebel of the unit. And just remember, never shake his hand after a viewing of Road Trip! Distinguishing features: Wears glasses; skinny genius Nickname: Dan

Matthew Bick A useful member of the team, he always stays where we need him. He's always there to be beaten at pool when anyone feels down. Only likes fish fingers so ends up carrying the fridge on hikes. Distinguishing features: Mullet, tallness, rugged good looks and charm Nicknames: "The Quitter"; "PM"

Dave Anderton Dave is a new member of the unit but has made an impact, both visually and spiritually. His clever wit and off-key singing bring us all closer together on dark Friday evenings. Must learn to duck sooner. Distinguishing features: Greek football shirt; tone-deaf; cheerful smiler Nickname: Sparticus; "El Badgero"; Run-for-it!; Dandy-Tone

Andrew Birtles Cool, laid back and relaxed. Different outlook to life. Very good at pool and helping out. Distinguishing features: Dress Style (Complete lack of) Nicknames: Burtles

Paul Edwards Recent acquisition. Very sporty; very random; likes rugby. Pretty much unknown personality but has proved a good team player to date. Distinguishing features: Random knowledge; craziest hair apart from Joycey Nickname: Eggy; Eggman

Andrew Faulkner Drifted our way from the 51st Scout Group and has been granted "joint nationality" - or is it "asylum"? - under the nebulous Explorer Scout membership rules. Distinguishing features: Diminuitive stature, flitting movements Nickname: Mouse

Rich Young Admitted Dec 2003, Rich has still to make his mark in unit circles, although his climbing reputation and computer skills go before him! Distinguishing features: Wears glasses; Nicknames: Little Rich; The Monkey
