Freshers' Week Events

See below for more details…

Welcome to Edinburgh Labour Club

“Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at our website. Although independent of the Labour Party, the Edinburgh University Labour Club exists to promote the principles and ideals of the labour movement, both on campus and in the wider community. To this end, we hold weekly meetings, often with guest speakers and debates, for members to meet like minded individuals, and exchange views. We run campaigns which reflect our beliefs - our members have recently been involved in the effort to stop variable top-up-fees being introduced in Scotland, and have fought for greater protection for students from landlords in Edinburgh. We also assist in the campaigns of the Labour Party, particularly during election time.

“We offer an excellent opportunity for students, who consider themselves to be centre-left, to get involved in politics. But don't just take my word for it - why not come along to a meeting and judge for yourself? For more information, contact me at Judhar2004@yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks, Jude”

Massive Freshers Week Events

During Freshers week we will be holding a number of awesome events to come along to, meet the society, get involved and also chat to some of the major movers and shakers of the Scottish political scene in an informal environment. We end our week with a massive 'lazer' Quest battle to discover which political party is best - the way all elections should be decided! Best of all - everything is FREE!!!!
