Welcome Freshers! Heard of Canoe Polo before? Best way to describe it is basketball, rugby, and kayaking combined to make an action-packed game unlike any other.
"Each team has five players on the pitch (and up to three substitutes), who compete to score in their opponent's goal, which is suspended two meters above the water. The ball can be thrown by hand or flicked with the paddle to pass between players and shoot at the goal."
These sessions are suitable for beginners, so don't worry if you have never tried it before! This is the ideal time to try something new.
We provide all of the kayaking kit and the session is completely free (we offer three free sessions each). All you'll need is a spare change of clothes (just in case you get wet), some trainers to wear on the water, and a towel.

This signup is closed/void. This trip has been postponed due to problems with car numbers - a following signup will be available shortly.
I'm really sorry that this is the case - know that we have done everything we can to try and make this possible, but we were blindsided at the last moment by circumstances beyond our control. We're as disappointed as you are, but this should only be a blip in our events.
==========================================================================
Long awaited return to river trips!
FRESHERS - A separate signup will become available for a freshers trip. This signup is for returning students.
Weather/driver dependent, we will be running a river trip for returners. Grade 2/3 at a push, this should be a friendly paddle for those of you returning to Durham.
Bring a change of clothes, lunch, and a towel.
