Meet our committee (7)
Dylan Lloyd - Team Captain/Exchange Agent
Hey there! I'm Dylan and I'm a second year History student at the university. I'll be helping out with the society in many different roles, although one of my main roles will involve maintaining contact between us and many of the other HEMA societies around the country. I decided to join HEMA for many reasoning, some of which include the opportunity to try something new and also exploring my love for history in a more physical way
