10/8/2021

0 Comments

 
With great regret, Samantha de Simone notified us that she wished to step down as BAFA Student Officer earlier this year. Samatha has contributed tremendously to engaging BAFA Student Members since she joined the Steering Committee and her enthusiasm greatly helped to grow BAFA as a professional Association.  We would like to sincerely thank Samantha for her hard work for the Association. 

Following a vote, Conner Welty has been nominated as the new BAFA Student officer of the Association. Big congratulations to Conner and we are sure she will do a great job in her new role!

BAFA is happy to announce the first Virtual Fundraise for the Charity Missing People. All members are welcome to prepare their "baking gears" and get creative for charity! The event involves baking a "forensic themed" cake/pudding and take a picture of it with yourself, a friend or anyone you wish in it (as proof not downloaded from the internet). Details on how to submit, share and donate for entry will be given out shortly.

Members can either bake and donate to enter the competition (from 5£) or donate while voting for their favourite cake.

A prize will be given to the winning bake!

We look forward to seeing your bakes.
