Best International Society goes to….

On Monday 13 May 2013, the Student Union organised the Society Awards and as the President of the Bulgarian Society I attended the event for two nominations – ‘Best International Society’ and ‘Best New Society’.

It was a really nice black-tie event with entertainment, food and drinks. It was so tense all the way through because people where waiting to hear their Society’s name as a winner. When our turn came up I swear my heart was about to explode! I was so nervous, feeling butterflies in my stomach. And finally the moment came: ‘For all their hard work, working with societies not only from this University but from around the UK, organising many events to support their culture, including a celebration for the national day and an overseas alumni event, best International Society for 2013 goes to the Bulgarian Society!’

I couldn’t believe it! I felt so proud that our work as a Society was appreciated! We didn’t win ‘The New Society’ award but we still got a certificate for it, as even getting a nomination is impressive as there are only 3 nominees out of 90 societies overall. The only other International Societies who won awards were the Romanian and the Hindu Society for their handwork and support as individuals.
