The fourth evening paddle of the summer term. This is a great way to relax during the exams period, take whatever boat you are comfortable in. We will paddle up to Prebends Bridge and possibly play some games when we get there.
You should be comfortable paddling that distance (and back) at a leisurely pace. You can use one of the canoes if you aren't comfortable in a kayak.
Meet at the boathouse at 18:00. We aim to be off the water by 20:00.
The DUCC Annual Summer BBQ is back! Join us at the boathouse at 3:00 PM, and we'll head down to the racecourse to kick off the grilling.
If you have any dietary preferences or restrictions, please message Matthew, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Don’t forget to bring your own drinks!
DUCC River Wye Social Touring Trip Tuesday 3rd June – Friday 6th June.
A relaxed four-day canoe and paddleboard (SUP) 'expedition' on the river Wye including three overnight camps at Hoarwithy, Ross-On-Wye and Symonds Yat.

We will leave Durham at 7am on Tuesday, returning on Friday evening in time for reunion.
Craft: 4x tandem canoes and 6x SUPs. If you have a SUP that you can bring, please comment this next to your bid (this will make the logistics easier). Camping kit (including tents) can be provided if required. Overnight kit will be left in the cars and shuttled to the next campsite each day.
Costs are kept to a minimum and divided up at the end of the trip. Estimated trip cost is £100 (£40 fuel, £35 campsite fees, £25 food). A £50 deposit is required to confirm your bid.
Please ask Jake/Charlie if you have any questions.
It is that time again, every three years Reunion comes around!
This event comes around so that everyone gets at least one Reunion during their academic studies! Alumni return to join current DUCC members in a weekend to celebrate DUCC.
DATES ARE: 6TH-8TH June
(immediately after exams and before the Alps, there will not be any trip clashes etc)
What does Reunion consist of?
It is a weekend that involves past members all returning to Durham:
Friday evening - pub, chill and chat for students and those who have arrived early.
Saturday - WW river trip (may the relative chaos unfold, a river will be chosen for everyone, depending on rain and ability - last time it was a scrappy HFLF with extortionate amount of safety due to all the alumni returning!)
Reunion meal - a 3 course meal including a reception drink and 1/2 wine per person included in the ticket, this will be at the Masonic hall and from memory the food was excellent and worth it.
Cost of the ticket is expected to be £40 for students but the more that go the cheaper it will be!
Sunday - picnic, River Wear paddle and general socialable meet up!
Any queries speak with Charlotte on behalf of the Fire King (Martin, FoDUCC president), this form is just to get rough number of interest for students as our tickets are cheaper!
