What is EUSOG?
EUSOG was founded in 1961 when following a production of ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ by the UOC, a first-year student called Robert Heath approached Rolly York, who had been playing Falstaff, and asked him if he might be interested in starting a Gilbert and Sullivan society - and thus EUSOG was born.
To start the society the founders were given a grant of £25 from the University and their first production was put on in the Little Theatre in the Pleasance, which was a huge success. Three years following Robert was then able to proudly pay this loan back and we’ve been thriving ever since!

This coming year will mark my fourth year involved with EUSOG, after being a part of every EUSOG production since joining university. I have been in roles both on and off the stage, and have loved every second of it. I am in awe of the hard work that goes into creating such memorable shows and the fabulous people I have met along the way. I am so excited and honoured to be President 2025/26 and cannot wait for this year!

Over the past year EUSOG has provided me with some of my favourite experiences at university so far, giving me the opportunity to gain confidence, make wonderful friends and have loads of fun! I’m really looking forward to working alongside this fabulous committee to hopefully provide our members, new and old, with similar experiences!

Nina Birbeck
Treasurer
(she/her), 3rd Year Philosophy & Maths
I couldn’t be more excited going into my third year involved with EUSOG. It has already opened up many avenues for me I didn’t know existed: joining the backstage crew for Little Shop of Horrors as my first show at uni helped me discover a love for stage management. Being part of two EUSOG casts this year cemented so many wonderful friendships, and both were such joyful experiences. I can’t wait to get stuck into the nuts and bolts of running the society with this fantastic committee and keep EUSOG going strong!

This will be my second year with EUSOG, a society where I have made some of my closest friends, enjoying their company from rehearsals to shows.

Aoife Hallett
Co-Social Secretary
(she/her), 1st Year English Literature
I love EUSOG because it was the first society I joined, and after the horror of auditions, I instantly felt very at home! Everyone is so lovely & I've had the most wonderful time so far! I'm pretty organised and like being helpful so joining committee seemed perf! I was already social rep of ITW and was finding it very fun so thought it would be fun to extend to the whole society – being social sec means I can basically force people to do what I think is fun! I’m looking forward to being involved in any way that I can!

Co-Fundraising Manager
(she/her), 4th Year English Literature
This will be my third year involved with EUSOG and my only regret is that I didn’t audition earlier!! Not only am I incredibly proud of the amazing things EUSOG achieves onstage, the wonderful group involved in this society have made every show I have partaken in full to the brim of memories and joy. This year, I am so excited to give back to the society in my role as co-fundraising manager, with my amazing co by my side and a fabulous committee to work with - I hope we can make this year another wonderful one for EUSOG!

I’ve done two shows with EUSOG so far, and each one has been such a wonderful experience, where I’ve made the most incredible friends and had a fantastic time. I’m so excited to take on a new role and get to interact with all those previous generations of EUSOGers who have made the society what it is today! Coupled with some more amazing shows, the next year should be really exciting and I can’t wait to start!
