Chill paddle from the DUCC boathouse down to the Boat Club pub by Elvet bridge. All welcome.
Highly unlikely you will get wet, but it's sensible to bring a change of clothes just in case. Also make sure you bring some form of payment for the pub (and ID if you plan to drink).
The club does not pressure anyone to drink if they do not want to.
Sign up! See you there!
Come along to DUCCs roped up social! Meeting at St Mary’s college bar at 20:00, we will don our BAs and throw lines and head into town. With a few extra games to play along the way, the night won’t want to be missed!
***NOTE: The river levels have the potential to get a lil *spicy* at this time of year so the session may be called off last minute. Please keep an eye on the group chat.***
THE WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 14:15 - 15:45
The usual relaxed Wednesday session! Open to all with beginners especially welcome, this is simply a really chill couple of hours on the river. If you want to get into kayaking or simply have a fun afternoon session on the river this is the session for you!
Please bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes, and a towel. It is best to avoid jeans on the water as these shrink when wet.
Any questions please ask in the socials chat, message the club instagram, or message Devon (Vice Captain).

Find us at the sports fair on Tuesday 30th September! We will be at Maiden Castle sports centre from 1:30 - 8:30 pm to answer all your questions about DUCC!
Seen people playing canoe polo on the river? Seen the photos from BUCS? Heard all the great stories about the sport? Now's your chance to learn how to play!!!
I am running an intro to polo session on Sunday. Meet at the boathouse at 3pm. No experience necessary- if you have never kayaked before you can go in a whitewater boat rather than a polo boat, so everyone is welcome!!!
We will cover some of the basics and just getting comfortable in the boat. (Feel free to come if you've already played a bit before)
The session will probably be around an hour, will depend on how much fun we are having! (Let me know if you need to leave at a certain time, it's no problem)
Please bring a spare change of clothes including shoes if you want to wear some in the boat. Also remember a towel. Any questions message Maddie or on the facebook groupchat.
Looking forward to seeing lots of you there :)
Another evening chill paddle but on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Meet at 18:00, we aim to be back at the boathouse for 20:00
