History of the Society
The Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Anime Society was founded way back in 1998 and is now in its 25th year!
In its short lifetime, SFA has won several awards from the Student's Union:
- 1998-1999: Best New Society; Worst Event (back when the awards weren't taken seriously)
- 1999-2000: Best Website
- 2000-2001: Treasurer's Special Award
- 2001-2002: Best Website
- 2002-2003: Best General Society
The society was founded by a small group of friends who wanted to show some good films and get together for social events. Throughout our first year we gained more members, showed a wider variety of films and generally strove to do what our members wanted. For our efforts we received the "Best New Society" award. We also received the "Worst Event" award for our disastrous first ever screening (without the films we wanted to show and no idea how to use the equipment it was doomed to failure).
In 2022, the society was rebranded to the Bath Anime and Manga Society (BAMS), omitting the sci-fi and fantasy aspects in order to focus solely on anime and manga.
Every year we aim to be both bigger and better than before, building on the success of previous years.
