BUCs Training

Book an LFT test at MC for the Sunday morning - 9:30 slot


Meet at 9.30 am to load cars, leaving at 10am.

Ideally we can be on water at Stockton campus by 11am.

If everyone is agreeable I think it would be good to have a hour and a half session (11-12.30), to grab some lunch (12.30-2.30) and have a second session (2.30-4pm). The intention would then be to return to Durham for 5pm.

If people aren’t up for that, or weather is terrible on day, we could have 2/3 hour session and return home quicker. But if we are going over tactics I think it may be preferable to have a break. Sound ok?

If you have cars etc please bring them to boathouse for 9.30 and we’ll spread people and boats out to stay COVID safe

Swimmers are Winners Bar Social!

Saturday 5th June 19:30 onwards

Join us for a chill evening of drinking and socialising at Aidan's Beer garden this Saturday! The theme for this week is beach themed!

You can arrive at any point after 19:30 and head home whenever you need to. The bar staff said they will set up a gazebo for us if it starts to rain, but we suggest you bring a coat as it is likely to get quite cold.

We aren't a heavy drinking-based club, so there is absolutely no pressure to drink, anyone and everyone is welcome! If you do plan to have a couple drinks, don't forget your ID! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please follow the Aidan's Bar rules when we get there and bring a mask! Please **try** get an LFT test before you come along to ensure our club members stay safe.
