  1. Bake Soc Society proposal

  2. committee • Co-presidents: Meriel Royal and Catherine Antrobus • Vice President: Harriet Wigmore • Secretary: Emily Lunn • Treasurer: Olola Elias • Social Media Secretary: IzzySmith - in charge not only of Facebook, Twitter etc but writing and maintaining the Bake Soc recipe blog • Publicity Officer: Briony Devine • Events Coordinator: Hannah Bruton - responsible for researching and booking events such as workshops/classes etc and corresponding with speakers • Social Secretary: Katy Dash - just in charge of non-baking socials, not the same as Events!

  3. Aims and objectives We aim to: • Bring together all students with a love of baking, both serious and casual bakers alike • Run workshops/classes that students otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to participate in • Build links with local bakeries and cookery shops in order to gain sponsorships and discounts (because baking can get expensive!) • Work with other societies by selling cakes and therefore funding our own projects

  4. Activities Some of the projects we’re thinking of…: • Workshops with bakeries such as the Hummingbird Bakery, The Exploding Bakery in Exeter, Tea in the City (ie professional cake decorating, sugarcraft, pastry lessons etc) • Write, design and print a Bake Soc recipe book • Great British Bake Off style competitions – once a term? • Weekly cake “meets” with a theme (Halloween, SSB week, fruit cake week etc) – a bit like a book club, but with cake - hire out Exeter College kitchens? - allow non-members to come to meetings for an “all you can eat” set price • Organising trips to baking shows and fayres such as the Cake Decorating and Baking Show in Birmingham/London • Setting up and maintaining a Bake Soc recipe blog (which our Social Media Secretary is in charge of) - with a view to writing a baking column (on the cheap) for other student publications ieExepose, Exeter Drop and we’ve already been asked by Razz My Berries

  5. WELCOME WEEK • Hoping to have two Welcome Week events: Bake Soc picnic outside, and a cupcake decorating session • Will charge £6 membership at the Squash, and (hopefully) this will include a bag of freebies too • Committee are going to advertise by flyering and handing out free cakes! • Hope to have a workshop lined up within the first few weeks of next year so lots of Freshers will attend

  6. Links to other societies/Comanies • Already in contact with the Exeter Lakeland branch and hoping to gain discount for our members, like the Music Room do for Music Card holders - happy to come along to/provide equipment for events and manager also gives talks • Committee have also suggested contacting Sainsburys, Panthers on Sidwell Street, and the Cooks Shop in the Harlequin Centre • As part of our membership we’d like to give out freebie/goody bags with cupake cases/icing/decorations etc in… could use this as an opportunity to advertise companies we’re in contact with (ie flyers) as an incentive for them to sponsor us • Wanted to contact Body Soc – do fitness classes in association with Bake Soc (so we don’t get fat)! • Perhaps organise trips/visits in cooperation with Slow Food Soc who are more about campaigning and visiting conferences/fayres etc • Entrepreneur Soc – for anyone interested in having a talk on setting up and running their own bakery • Going to see if we could sell our products around campus (ie Coffee and Cake, small bake stalls) • One of our members has started up a charity called Free Cakes for Kids which we hope to participate in

  7. Why We’ll last… • Huge interest – 200 people • Big baking craze at the moment, but people will always bake! • There isn’t any other cookery society that focuses so much on learning new skills and I think this will appeal to a lot of people
