I'd highly recommend if you are thinking of running for one of them to reach out to the person currently doing the job!
This term, the Monday pool session is slightly different. We will be going to the larger Darlington pool, meaning we have enough space for half the pool to be used for skills such as learning how to roll or playboating and the other half to be used for additional polo training.
Meet at Maiden Castle at 19:45. We hope to be back in Durham by 23:00.
Bring: swimming costume and t-shirt/rash vest - anything you'll be comfortable wearing in a boat (just not cotton!). Don't forget a towel & set of dry clothes to wear in the car.
NSR 2020!
If there's one event you need to get to in your paddling career, it's this one. NSR (National Student Rodeo) is a kayaking event like no other, where swimmers are winners and alcohol is more common than George swimming on eddy lines. A full weekend of carnage and - attempting - freestyle paddling. You don't need any experience at all: the best prizes go to the fresher paddlers!
We head down on the 13th - 15th March 2020, Friday evening to the Sunday night.Â
There's a party on both nights, and on the Saturday, the party is themed - this year, it's 'Games Night', so be sure to start thinking about costumes!
Prices are as follows:
Competing ticket - £53
Hoodies - £25
T-shirt - £10
Extra events - £5
When you sign up, make sure to leave a comment with any t-shirt/hoodie sizes, and let Martin know of any dietary requirements.
Signup closes on the 21st Feb, so don't leave this late!
All the same as last term: polo training at Darlington pool.

Since WWRR is basically cancelled, we're going to go for a paddle a little closer to home instead.
We will be running the classic section between High and Low Force - a fairly short section with an exciting end! Don't worry if you're feeling rusty on whitewater, the section we run might change depending on river levels. Should be something for everyone, though.
You will need dry clothes, a towel, and lots of layers to warm up at the end. Upper Teesdale can get cold! Food and money is also recommended.

A chance for 2 more lucky DUCC members (idk who yet) to dress up like poultry and get binned for free whilst being chased by other DUCC members who are dressed up normally and also getting binned (but not for free)
Make sure you read the club specific rules below, and if u don't know how to play ou est le pouet, read the general ones too.
GENERAL RULES HERE
Club Specific Rules:
Only college bars. JoBo, Hild Bede, Stevo & John Snow are not allowed. Everyone bring £5 minimum (but richer people pls bring a bit more if you can). Poulets may buy only ONE drink per round. No communication between teams whatsoever. Teams must set off in different directions from the first bar. EVERYONE MUST have one drink at every bar they visit - even if they've only looked in a window (this can be a VK, a pint, a shot, a glass of cool refreshing milk, or anything u fancy). When buying a drink, you MUST ask the bartender "Have you seen a chicken, about yay high?". A team captain will be chosen for each team, and that captain will be informing me of anyone who cheats these rules, though all team members are encouraged to report cheating. All reports of someone cheating will be considered anonymously, and my vengence will be swift and full of calcium. Good luck poulets.
