With our SU currently boasting over 200 societies, you’d think every need would be catered for.  

From the weird and wonderful Harry Potter Soc, the quaint and lovely Kettle Soc to the kind of saucy Massage Soc, there seems to be a society for every occasion.

But what about the guilty pleasures we aren’t admitting to having? What about the strange hobbies we all have that could be put to a much better use?

The Tab proposes several societies that we’d all secretly like to see.

1. Cheesy Pop Society

• Meeting up and jamming to all those classic boy band tunes.
