Below is a short biography of each member of the team that make GenR8 happen. Pictures are on their way once they can be convinced to pose for them! Shelley Dring Shelley is the phenomenal artistic force
within GenR8 and drives a lot of the visual and dynamic art that is seen in
various GenR8 activities. She has designed banners and artwork and also leads
art-based activities on the events. However, her creativity in planning the
events is a huge strength and she often comes up with more ideas than there is
time to do! Nathan Dring Nathan
brings another creative slant to GenR8 from his talents and experience as part
of Red Balloon, the schools-focussed wing of Saltmine Christian Theatre
Company. He is a huge asset to the team as an enthusiastic and engaging speaker
and he has an enormous desire to preach and share the Good News of Jesus Christ
- he is most definitely the upfront evangelist of the team. Kathryn Thompson Kathryn is part of the creative team in
planning the events - suggesting ideas and programmes for GenR8 to produce. She
is an accomplished musician and her primary focus before and during the events
is to lead the planning and provision of the music used throughout the worship
(whether sung or not). She also takes on a full role like the rest of the team
in leading talks, prayers and other aspects of the events. Richard Thompson Richard brings an experience of planning
and implementing projects in a business context. He is keen to maintain the
professional approach that GenR8 has adopted from the start and works on the
communication channels and pre- and post-event publicity in line with those
initial high standards. He is responsible for the website pages and email links
and looks to forge links and relationships with other individuals or teams where
GenR8 can help them or benefit from them. Steve Scaife Steve is responsible for sound during
the events. He and Terry provide the technical input for events and help to
make sure that everything is wired up and working correctly. However, the team
has recently been making great use of his skill as a worship leader as well and
this has had a huge impact on the events. As a Lay
reader in the Church of England he is an excellent communicator and also provides invaluable thoughts into the
planning and execution of the events. Sue Scaife Sue is one of our two main hosts for the
events and therefore has responsibility for the hospitality. Her primary aim in
this is to welcome everyone as they arrive and make them feel at ease. The role
of host is that they are usually the first members of the team that people see
and therefore are vital for the atmosphere of the event itself. Terry Crabtree Terry is responsible for visuals during
the events. He and Steve provide the technical input for events and help to
make sure that everything is wired up and working correctly. He also brings
some fantastic insight to the events and has often been able to provide
prophetic words or images to the events. Lynn Crabtree Lynn is the other main host for the events
and stands alongside Sue in this role. Together they provide refreshments
before and after the events, but more importantly they give everyone the
friendly welcome to GenR8 which is so important in enabling people to relax and
therefore worship fully. |
