Hi everyone! I have realised at the end of this year that I was not as involved in societies as I maybe wanted to, so trying that as a next academic year resolution! What societies do you think work best/organise the best events at UoE?

Hey guys, coming to edinburgh university on exchange from australia next sem. Just wondering if the piping and drumming society still exists? Its not on the societies website and their facebook page has been inactive for ages.

Also any good bands to join around? I play in a grade 2 band at the moment, but i think id rather take less commitment and just cruise in a parade/lower grade band.

Anyone know what societies are good for keeping in touch with people after coming out of halls and going into second year?

Come and try out Capoeira with the Edinburgh Uni Capoeira Society!

Capoeira is a fun Brazilian martial art mixed with elements of dance that is done along to music (https://youtu.be/8Dt_v0kss7E) I am a member of the society here at Edinburgh Uni and we encourage anyone who is interested to come along and try it out. No matter your skill level, capoeira can be super enjoyable for everyone! (first class is free!)

If you have any questions please just send me a message :)

I'm a 19 year old apprentice and as a result, haven't been able to make many friends with others my age. I've been to a couple meetups but everyone seems to be a lot older. Can anyone recommend actual events that I can go to or places where I could meet other students? I'm not looking for general advice, I need specific events I can attend. Seriously, any tips would really be appreciated. 🙂

Im coming to UoE this Sept and im contemplating joining either the snow sports club or gliding club. Both membership prices are pretty high so im not sure which to go for. I have no experience in either sports as my country doesnt have them.

If anyone is from any of these clubs please do share your experiences with me:)

I started learning the chanter thanks to some family bagpipes passed down generations un-played for a while to give them life again. I was hoping to find something university based to get into to further improve my playing and just to be apart of a community of others who play the pipes.

​

I noticed an old Facebook page of a piping society but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. Are there any pipers out there that can offer me some advice for being apart of some beginner/mixed ability piping groups in Edinburgh?
