Oriam Newsletter| February
Our start to 2022 was a little quiet but we are certainly making up for it now with a whole range of activities and events planned for the coming months. Most restrictions have now been eased in Scotland and we are excited to welcome back our teams and members for indoor training. We have welcomed a number of new Interns to join our Oriam teams for this semester for experience in all areas of our business from Performance Sports Science to Events planning. Take a read through our newsletter for the latest Oriam news and events this month.
|Group Exercise & Fitness
|FACILITY UPDATE
Our teams are always working hard behind the scenes, planning and delivering facility maintenance and improvements so you can enjoy Oriam activities to their fullest. From now on there will always be a facility update section here in our newsletter and occasional facility bulletins across our channels to keep you all up to date with work happening at Oriam.
|SPORTS UNION
Sports Union activities are well underway for Semester Two, especially now the restrictions have been eased for contact sports in Scotland! The Sports Ball is also coming up on the 18th of February. Last year’s virtual sports ball was great but we can’t wait to see the clubs celebrate together in person this year. We will be sharing the club nominations and winners when they are announced. It is also election season for next year’s Heriot-Watt Student Executives, applications are now open to current HWU students. Our current Sports Union President, Amber and her team have done an amazing job over the past year and we look forward to welcoming in a new team this summer.
It’s never too late to get involved with student sport and fitness at Oriam and Heriot-Watt. We have bronze memberships available for semester two, just £111 for the whole semester. You can purchase them on our Oriam App or find out more here.

|OUR ORIAM
|FACE MASKS
We are glad to be returning to an almost ‘normal service’ here at Oriam and we appreciate all of our visitors who are doing their part to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
Please remember that masks are still mandatory in public venues in Scotland. For Oriam that means you must wear a mask (unless medically exempt) when entering and leaving the facilities, including reception, corridors and bistro areas. If you forget a mask we have them to purchase at reception for £1.
You do not need to wear a mask whilst participating in sport or fitness activities so they are not required whilst in the fitness suite or whilst playing on pitches/courts. We hope to continue running all our activities as normal but we can only do this with our visitors support.
|YOUR FUTURE
We are hiring for a range of roles at Oriam. Part-time and Full-time Opportunities. We run a supportive team environment, encourage personal development and there are some great staff perks so check out our Job Vacancies page or email your cover letter and CV to careers@oriam.hw.ac.uk
