traditional faith of the Christian Church. We<br />

work closely with the Orthodox Christian<br />

community here in Aberdeen and throughout<br />

Scotland. All are welcome - no matter their<br />

background - to join with us on this epic<br />

journey! We will be having weekly meetings,<br />

with intriguing discussions and prayers; and<br />

going on adventurous pilgrimages. So come<br />

along for a cup o’ tea (with one-biscuit-only<br />

per head…) and make some great new<br />

friends from all over the world!<br />

christian union<br />

Why Christianity? Aren’t all religions the<br />

same? Hasn’t science proved religion is just<br />

a fairy-tale? The Christian Union exists to<br />

answer these questions and many more!<br />

We’ll be running events throughout the<br />

year, as well as during Fresher’s week, to<br />

see how Christianity addresses life’s big<br />

questions. We’d love to see you there and<br />

hear what you think. Have a look at our<br />

social media pages, and keep an eye out for<br />

flyers, to find out more and keep up-to-date<br />

with information on all the events we have<br />

coming up.<br />

cineclub<br />

Cineclub organizes weekly screenings<br />

where members can watch, debate and<br />

enjoy films in a communal atmosphere.<br />

Besides the weekly screenings we will be<br />

organising other events - visits to the cinema,<br />

pub crawls, collaborations with other<br />

societies and going to film related events.<br />

circus society<br />

Now you’ve run away from home, it’s<br />

clearly time to join the circus! Want to learn<br />

to juggle? Get into aerials? Play with poi<br />

and diabolo? No experience necessary!<br />

Come and have a go at anything you’ve<br />

ever fancied! Learn new skills and have fun!<br />

(Shh.. Don’t tell anyone but we do play with<br />

fire…)<br />

Civil Engineering Society (CES)<br />

Members will benefit from links that CES<br />

creates with professional institutions,<br />

CES also hopes to be a platform where<br />

ideas and student experiences can be<br />

shared. Join us to benefit from both social<br />

and learning opportunities with students who<br />

share similar interests.<br />

Comedy Society<br />

Bringing laughter to the Granite City; open<br />

to everyone and anyone regardless of<br />

experience! With a workshop or show every<br />

week, we aim to give you the skills and the<br />

opportunities to get an audience laughing -<br />

whether it’s stand up, improv or sketch. We<br />

run regular shows, letting you test out and<br />

perfect material, get stage confidence, and<br />

most importantly, have a good time - after<br />

all, you’re spending time with comedians,<br />

and we’re a funny bunch. We also host<br />

socials throughout the year, and get involved<br />

in other events throughout the university.<br />

Looking for a good time? Join us!<br />
