A BUNCH of pastry-loving students have started the first Greggs Society.

The undergraduates make daily visits to the high street snack chain, have held a Greggs crawl and are planning a factory tour.

They bonded over a love of warm bakes, hailing them a “salvation at the end of a night out” and “in times of desperate hunger”.

It was launched at Newcastle University last week and already has 50 members from a recruitment drive at the freshers’ fair.

They will be spoilt for choice for baked goodies there, as there are 33 Greggs in Newcastle alone.

The student website promises: “We will come together to consume these flaky delights in a wide array of social activities.”

Psychology student and co-founder Luke Phillips, 19, of Welwyn Garden City, Herts, said: “I have found my calling in life.

“Since we started the society we have been to a Greggs every day. We have just got our student loan.

“It was mental at the freshers fair. Everyone walking past did a double take of the Greggs society — it’s completely bonkers.”

He started it with computer science student Louie Horn, 19, from Huddersfield, and Esme Heath, a fine arts undergraduate of Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Louie said: “It’s hard to find someone who can’t eat anything at Greggs.”
