A Brief History

Fiat Lux! is an informal (some would say anarchic) outfit that is almost a club. We don't have a formal membership or club structure, nor do we recruit generally. In fact we don't recruit full-stop. We are just a bunch of friends who all seem to want the same sort of thing from tagging (thought, action, and role-play in about equal measure) and happen to get along pretty well.

The purpose of this club is for its "members" to take part in and run Science Fiction based Live Roleplay games. These games are based around the LaserTag system.

The name is chosen to reflect the mechanics of the hobby (see below - pun intended).

Fiat Lux! is not a formal club in that we have no membership fee, no committee, no hierarchy of any kind (yet!). At present the un-membership of our not-club stands at ten, spread between Southampton, Newbury, Stevenage and Northampton. For those of you who've never met us, we are:

Simon R.jpg (48965 bytes) Simon Russell: aka "Meltdown", operates best at sub-zero temperatures, our electronics expert, can talk fluent Maplin
Gary Swanston: Resident "strange being". Writes poetry. Don't ask him to recite it. Just don't, OK?
Steve.jpg (46447 bytes) Steve Trent: Our youngest operative so always gets sent out as scout being least likely to suffer rheumatic cramp at a critical moment
Alex.jpg (51147 bytes) Alex Clark: Bearded beer monster
Sarah.jpg (56604 bytes) Sarah Clark: Costume designer, rabid role-player, uses 'cute' as main weapon
Ros.JPG (4282 bytes) Roz Day: Specialist in finding holes (there's one around here somewhaarrrgh!), expert at hiding
Pete Bone (occasional): Resident tactical genius and owner of bottomless kidney pouches
Andy Haslett (occasional): tba
Simon D.jpg (47924 bytes) Simon Davies (occasional): Arboreal role-player
Better.jpg (53714 bytes) Better (mascot): Recruited at TagRag '93. Now a fully fledged Rebel Commando

We don't want to become a big club because then we'd have to do proper clubby things like fees and AGMs.

We're all big fans of STAR WARS and we'll gladly join any game in this genre (but not always as Alliance commandos, please) but there again we'll happily join any game in any genre! We hide a lot, we die a lot, we roleplay our socks off and we have fun!

Someone always asks what the name means. What does it mean? Well, stand in front of the guns and I shall say unto you...

"LET THERE BE LIGHT!"
