At the Freshers’ Bazaar in 2017, budding bakers and keen chefs didn’t have somewhere to call home. Although there was an amazing range of clubs and societies for people to get involved with, us foodies felt a little out of place.
The great thing about food, though, is that it has opportunities to bring people together multiple times per day. Finding likeminded individuals who enjoyed learning about, creating and eating different foods happened very naturally and we began to carve out our own social space for socialising, with different food themes adding a party vibe.
As our meetups grew in popularity, we realised we could expand our scope. On top of the regular food parties, daytime meetings designed to work out the logistics of forming an official society began to take place. Brainstorming sessions for names (“Get Baked” was one suggestion, but we decided to keep our name closer to developing cooking and baking skills!), activities and membership details as a group helped us submit our application and get on the road to being backed by the Students’ Union.
Many risk assessments and a steep learning curve later, the society was formed. Events continued, including our first society trip (to the BBC Summer Good Food Show 2018). We won Best New Society at the 2018 Society Awards because of how we worked to regularly host delicious, inclusive and exciting events, overcoming logistical challenges and our newness as a society that stood in our way.
