March Society of the Month

Bath Marrow

Bath Marrow had an outstanding March, combining outreach, fundraising, and collaboration to support their partner charity, Anthony Nolan, and raise awareness about stem cell donation. They ran their Superhero Week campaign (3rd–7th March) partnering with Tennis, Golf, Dance, and Crochet societies to register new donors during training sessions—reaching students beyond the usual stalls.

Their creative Sip & Paint fundraiser with Taylor Swift Society and Fine Art Society, and a fun pub quiz with Crochet Society, helped raise awareness while bringing communities together. Two committee members, Katie and Oliver, ran the Bath Half, raising an incredible £1233 in support of Anthony Nolan.

Throughout the month, the team consistently ran weekly donor recruitment stalls at the STV and the Library, where they created a friendly, informative atmosphere for students to learn and sign up.

In collaboration with the Islamic Society during Ramadan, they raised awareness of the need for greater ethnic diversity on the stem cell register—making their impact both meaningful and inclusive!

Bath Marrow’s ongoing efforts show the power of student collaboration in driving change, saving lives, and fostering an inclusive and informed community, making them March’s society of the month!

Well done, Bath Marrow!

February Society of the Month

Backstage (BTS)

Backstage has had a monumental month, playing a crucial role in bringing live events to life across campus. In February alone, members rigged, crewed, and derigged 11 different events, including major cultural performances that celebrated diverse communities at the university. Their technical expertise and dedication have enhanced both student and society-run events on an incredible scale.

A key highlight was their work on BUSMS’ production of Legally Blonde, one of the biggest shows of the year. Months of planning, design, and technical preparation went into bringing the production to life. Theo, David, and the set team designed and built an intricate set, incorporating flown signs to replicate automation effects. Matt managed the sound team, ensuring 40 cast members were heard clearly with just eighteen radio mic packs. Aidan and Grace designed and programmed the lighting rig, while Jacob, as Deputy Stage Manager, coordinated lighting, sound, and stage cues to ensure seamless performances. Jenni led the stage crew as Stage Manager and the entire event was managed excellently by Technical Event Manager Asher. Their teamwork and technical expertise made Legally Blonde a true standout production! Here you can also watch Backstages’ Legally Blonde Vlog!

Well deserved Backstage!
