By Devon Chandler on Tuesday 15th September 2026
Welcome to DUCC, one of Durham's oldest, friendliest, and coolest clubs. There are not many other places where you will find our balance of chill, competiveness, and thrill seeking (sending it off waterfalls = adrenaline).
We have equally strong contingent of casual members, polo players, racers, and whitewater paddlers so there is truly something for everyone. And naturally we all come together for our regular socials
We are holding free taster sessions during Freshers' Week, open to anyone and with no commitment or previous experience required! All these sessions are held on the Wear outside our boathouse at Madien Castle, if you don't know how to find this there is a pin at the end of this post. These will be held on the following dates and times:
-Thursday 1st: 15:00 - 16:30
- Friday 2nd: 15:00 - 16:30
- Saturday 3rd: 15:00 -16:30
