2007-2008 Club Committee Members

Ange Kene - President / Catering / Web Site Admin
Hi my name is Ange. I've been a member of Austrek since 1992. I have been a Star Trek Fan for more than 22 years, but am also a general Sci-fi fan. A lot of my favorite Sci-fi are the classics and most B movies. I think Austrek and other Sci-fi clubs are important to the Sci-fi community, they bring people with the same interests together. I think that the social element is the most important part of the club, it encourages Star Trek values like communication, friendship and understanding. I just want the members of Austrek to know that even though I'm not that outspoken, I do my best to serve your interests in Austrek. If you see me at a meeting please come and say hi.

 

Michael O'Loughlan - Vice President
I'm better known around the place as "Locky". I'm often up the front of the meetings with my side kick Scott. I have been involved in fandom for a while now. As a teenager going to meetings held by Novatrek up in the northern states. Things all started for me with Trek as a kid and has never really stopped. These days with the Internet, DVD's etc meeting clubs are few and far between. I'm a big believer of the social gathering of fans as it is the best way to really enjoy things - In a group. Sci-Fi has given me a great escape over the years to use for enjoyment, a pick me up and some good times with friends.


Aurelia (Reels) Cimino - General Secretary/Marketing
I Knew I liked Star Trek as a Child and actually manifested my enjoyment with a good friend in the early nineties when, on many, many Sundays, we would trawl through video libraries searching out Next Gen videos to watch while sipping strawberry daiquiris. And HE said "Get a Life"!!

Nowadays, I'm happy to join fellow members in Austrek at our monthly meetings, or away missions - now no one notices the hip flask :-) lol...

  Melanie (Mel) Nemer - The Captain's Log / Catering
Hi, my name is Mel and I've been a part of the Austrek group for about 7 years now and this year is my first year on the committee, long over due. I love Sci-fi but Star Trek the most, and love that their main goal is to explore different places and meet different people. This has been a huge influence to me to be motivated & travel around our planet, which I've done plenty of. The group itself is a fantastic place to meet new people with the same interest, make new friends and of course, dress up. I love being creative and making costumes which has always been great fun and a fantastic ice-breaker.... I've even been green!
