Southampton Solent Food & Dining Society



One of my house mate's, Kaylee, is setting up a new food society at University this year, she's been busy making arrangements the past couple of weeks and now plans are coming together. I'm excited to be involved with the plans and over the next few weeks in the run up to freshers we will be launching a food society blog which is going to be my responsibility. At Southampton Solent University there is a range of different societies available for it's students to join ranging from cheerleading to photography to football. However the biggest range of societies are naturally sports societies but what happens if you aren't in to sports and you just want to learn some new things whilst meeting people and enjoying your self? Well what happens is, you join the new food society.

Everyone loves eating and drinking right? The food society is going to hold cooking classes held by professionals for it's member to attend, linking with healthy eating and organic growing. There will be various exciting trips (details of the first trip are being looked in to) and every month the group will meet for a meal at different restaurants around Southampton and will review their experience and the food during their visit, the review will then be written up and published on the societies blog. As well as this the society will have a partnership with one of the local bars where they will hold a social every week and receive discounted drinks and food and enjoy a great night out!

The society is still in it's early days of planning and arrangements are being sorted for our stall at the freshers sports and societies fair where we will be recruiting new members on September 29th in the Quad at Solent University. If you think you might be interested then take a look at the facebook group and the event page for the fair and keep checking for any updates. It's going to be very exciting and we hope to get involved with loads of different things so make sure you get to the sports and society fair during freshers.
