Do I have to be a member of Edinburgh University or ChillOut society to do a course?

You do not have to be a member of Edinburgh University to join ChillOut Society, but the Student’s Association insists that we charge members a fee. And if we let people go on courses without being members, we wouldn’t have any members! So yes you must be a member of ChillOut. It costs only £3 to join ChillOut society for life (we never remember to re-charge you)!
