Committee (2024-2025)
Tilly Bird (she/her) — President
(president@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Having passed along the Vice-President’s bucket, Tilly is hoping that the somewhat random assortment of skills she has gained throughout her Cecilian experience have prepared her to be president. In her time, she has rocked a sexy army helmet, blamed it on the boogie🕺, learned to line dance🤠, carried a lot (seriously it was tons) of wood during the stores move, embodied the ‘velvet fog of east high’, and spent a year whiffling. When not involving herself in all things Cecilians, Tilly can be found working on her Maths/Classics degree, thinking about pasta or sending excessively long voice notes (good luck to the committee who will have to listen to these 😘). She can’t wait for the year ahead, and the opportunity to work with such a fab team, and hopes everyone is as excited as she is to get started 🥳✨️💕
Tash Cattley (she/her) — Vice President
(vicepresident@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Tash is in her 3rd year of a medicine degree and her second year of cecilians which has quickly become a massive part of her uni life. She loves a silly fancy dress party (mainly scrambling together a costume day of), random medical facts that don’t help her in her degree and the singing, dancing, acting fun she gets the do with all the wonderful Cecilians she now calls friends. If you don’t see her drinking a cup of tea you’ll find her searching or dreaming of her next one. Especially during this throwback to the 80s in this year’s weekend show where you will probably hear her repeatedly humming “Come on Eileen”. She is so thrilled to be the vice-president this year of a society she loves so much and hopes to bring that love and joy to everyone this year. She can’t wait to see all the faces she knows and loves and is super excited to meet all the new Cecilians too
Angelina Cochrane-Browne (she/her) — Secretary
(secretary@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Angelina is a third year History/Politics student from Belfast. She is also entering her third year in Cecilians, and is thrilled to take on the role of Secretary!! Having spent the last year on committee as Uni Affairs, she feels Secretary is the next step up and is so excited to give it all she’s got – she absolutely loves to chat, so can’t wait to harass everyone with endless emails! In her spare time, Angelina can be found reading her kindle, feeding her second-hand shopping addiction or going for a walk around Glasgow in the sun. However, the best part of Angelina’s week is spent at rehearsals, so September couldn’t come fast enough…!
Amy Montgomery (she/her) — Treasurer
(treasurer@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Amy is excited to slay her fourth year of her maths degree and third year of cecilians and is super thrilled to be using her degree for some use handling all the money this year💰🕺🏼.outside of cecilians Amy can be found distracting people in the library or dancing her heart out in hive!! As well as the super fun shows this year get ready for colour coded financial reports and pink sparkly budgets as Amy is ready to make this year of cecilians the best it can be and can’t wait to see everyone again 💕🎀Xx
Robyn Smith (she/her) — Past President
(pastpresident@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Hey guys, I’m back for my third and FINAL year on committee! Though I may be taking a step back from being on a cecilian stage this year( I’VE GOT SCHOOL) I decided spending the last two years dedicating my life to the society I thought there’s no harm in a 3rd! (I’m constitutionally bound to :D). Kidding, I am THRILLED to be apart of such an amazing team for the next year and can’t wait to see the big things Tilly and the team have in store for everyone involved
Brigid Pellicano (she/her) — Media Manager
(media@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Woohoo! Brigid is back in town with her third year of Cecilians, while going into her fourth year of looking at maps in a Geography degree.😁 She is so excited for this new year and working alongside such a good looking group of best friends, as well as putting on some epic shows. She spent last year as publicity officer, and although she LOVES posters, she also loves the internet (and attention) so much she just needed to run the Instagram and website. And she can’t wait to keep it all so beautiful and whimsical!! When she is not spending most of her time with this wonderful society, she is probably either with her band (follow @virginiacoastband 😜) embarrassing herself or frolicking around at different coffee shops. (It’s always Smug.) She wants everyone to know she loves you all and can’t wait for another year of being made fun of for being American!!! ❤️❤️💞(that’s not sarcastic.)
Erin Frew (she/her) — University Affairs
(universityaffairs@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Going into her second year of uni and second year of Cecilians, Erin cannot wait for the year ahead as university affairs in the best society ever🤩!! Aside from spending her days filled with all things Cecilians, Erin can usually be found either curled up with a book and a rather large cup of tea or in a stationary shop buying far too many things that she doesn’t actually need☕️📚 🖌After having such a amazing time last year doing Sunshine on Leith, Erin is beyond excited to get started with our main show, September can’t come soon enough!!💫
Joe Lidall (he/him) — Welfare and Membership Liaison
(membership@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Joe is heading into his 2nd year of Cecilians and of his Philosophy degree; a degree he assures people is in fact useful. As a real-life leither, Joe felt truly at home last year during Sunshine on Leith and has so much love for his second home. To continue his amazing experience of The Cecilian Society, Joe couldn’t wait for the opportunity to serve on the committee alongside such a fabulous team. As Membership and Welfare, Joe is so excited to welcome and support any new, or returning, members of the society. Joe has assured us that, as an old man at heart, he will be donning his sensible hat this year. Additionally, during his downtime, Joe has also graciously offered to be the committees resident Tennent’s drinker🫡.
Abi Kelly (she/her) — Social Convenor
(social@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Abi is going into her third year studying q Music/Theatre studies degree and her second year of being a Cecilian!! After missing the society in her first year, Abi cannot wait for another year of singing dancing and partying <3. Hence why she is our new Social Convenor for the upcoming academic year! Aside from working on new vocal pieces and aggressively analysing theatre recordings, Abi can usually be found reading a cheesy romance book, watching a horror film (that will keep her up at night), looking in flower shops, or treating the club dance floor like it’s a performance with her besties. Abi cannot wait to see everyone living their best life at our socials this year. She promises to always say yes to karaoke and a tequila shot🤫. After experiencing the chaos of show week and Weekend Away specifically (where Tilly and Abi performed their tony worthy sock musical), Abi is ready to get stuck in with another year of Cecilians with all her fellow Gleeks!
Sheridan Armour (she/her) — Company Manager
(companymanager@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Nell Wallace Pawley (any pronouns) — Publicity Manager
(publicity@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Nell is going into their final year of a history and sociology degree, and what better way to do it than by using Cecilians to accompany (avoid) her degree for another year! When she isn’t stressing behind a lighting console, napping or at a Polo Wednesday, Nell can be found in the back row of Cecilians chorus rehearsals with some entertaining dance moves! As publicity this year, they’re excited to be even more involved with all things Cecilians 🤞🏼 Nell is also incredibly excited for both the shows this year, despite still not being able to do any accent (including her own ambiguously Australian one)! Bring on the year!! 🤟🏼🫡
Rachel Morrison (she/her) — Stores Manager/Tech Liaison
(techliaison@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Going into the 3rd year of her Anatomy degree, and in Cecilians, Rachel has finally plucked up the courage to join the committee and she is so excited to join UofG’s stexiest dynasty as this year’s Tech Liaison! From living out her childhood fantasy of attending East High, to being a member of ABBA, to performing a choreographed kazoo rendition of Seasons of Love with her friends at weekend away, Rachel has had unforgettable experiences over the past two years! She can’t wait to see what this year brings, and what she can bring to Cecilians! 🫶
Evie MacGillivray (she/her) — Fundraising Manager
(fundraising@ceciliansociety.co.uk)
Having just come out of her first year of cecilians (and having an absolute blast🫶) Evie has decided what better way to keep the fun going than to be a part of an amazing committee!! She’s very excited to start her reign of begging for raffle prizes as the fundraising manager, as well as convincing everyone to take part in some amazing fundraisers😆. Evie is also starting her second year of her physiology and sports science degree 🧬🥼, where she will no doubt spend plenty of time agonising over lab reports and seeing equations in her dreams. When not with Cecilians or at the gym, Evie can often be found obsessing over the New York Times crossword or reading anything fantasy 💕💕
