Join a Society
Try something new, meet new friends and have a blast!
We have loads of societies here at Heriot-Watt.
Snooker and Darts
Following another successful year, the Snooker and Darts Society is planning to bring you more events, socials and competitions for everyone to enjoy!
We aim to cater for all abilities from the total novice to more experienced players. For the more serious players, we have leagues running throughout each semester and for those just wanting to have a bit of fun, there’s always a friendly atmosphere where you relax with friends.
We meet on Tuesday nights at the Shandon Snooker Club in town. So apart from having loads of events and being an amazing society, why else should you and your friends join? Well, if you wanted to play snooker normally, you’d probably end up paying at best a fiver an hour for a table. With our membership however, you get to play snooker every Tuesday for an amazing £3.50 per night for at least 4 hours. Our annual membership is only £4 and includes free darts.
We are also dedicated to our members! We are constantly looking at new ways to improve the society. We visit Leeds each year to compete in the national BUCS competition, as well as playing in Glasgow with other Scottish universities.
So if you’re up for having some fun and meeting new people, then our members would agree that the Snooker and Darts society is the place to be, so come and see us at the Fresher’s Fair, and if you have any questions get in contact with our President Charlie Gee (cg9@hw.ac.uk) or have a look at our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/sds.adm/

MEMBERS WANTED
📊 Have you ever heard of: Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, Machine Learning and Big Data? If you have and you’re wondering who’s behind it all, it’s Data Scientists! They use data, technology and mathematics combined to help individuals make decisions, in any field that uses data.
By hosting hackathons, student conferences, programming classes and more, our society aims to promote data science by giving you practical opportunities to show the skills and knowledge this profession demands. In addition, we hope to help our members increase their employability, giving you something to brag about during those all-important job interviews.
Don’t worry though, we’re not just all work and no play! We’re also planning to host socials so you can let your hair down and explore beautiful Edinburgh too.
So if you keen to hear more about the society send me an email: Anthony Lee azl1@hw.ac.uk 📊
✒️"I wish I could make something this abstract yet beautiful..." That's a usual thought some of us have at seeing those simplistic creative posts on every social media or paintings in some exhibition or museums. How about if we told you that you don't need to know drawing skills to be a graphic designer? Exciting, isn't it?
If you like the idea of being a part of a group where creativity is encouraged to be set loose, then come join our brand new Graphic Design society! Throughout the year, we will be engaging in basic fun learning activities of graphic design like poster making, random book cover designs, logo design and much more!
For any more information and joining requests please get in touch with Mamta via email ms94@hw.ac.uk ! ✒️
