Trips
Sunday Trips: Every Sunday of each term we run a river trip. We drive out and paddle on a river for the day. Ending the day with a trip to the pub. Tickets can be found on our shop.
Weekend Trips: We host a number of weekends away kayaking across the year. The first trip takes place in November, the second takes place in January and a final trip takes place in March. On these weekends we drive somewhere and hire a village hall (or camp, depending on location) to sleep in. These legendary weekends are spent paddling during the day and partying during the night! These weekends are not to be missed.
NSR: The National Student Rodeo (or NSR) is a freestyle kayaking competition that is completely organised by your competition secretaries for over 700 paddlers across the UK.
BUCS Weekend: Once a year we head to compete in the BUCS canoe polo, the days will be filled with competitive canoe polo, whereas the evening will be filled with a huge party. Another one to not miss out on!
Unfortunately due to the current COVID-19 situation, it is not possible for us to run any trips at the moment with the university’s restrictions on travel. We do however hope to get these back up and running as soon as possible!
Training
We have training sessions on Mondays and canoe polo sessions on Thursdays at 8:45PM at the Edge. Canoe polo is a fast-paced, semi-contact, 5-a-side game with the aim of getting a ball into the oppositions goal. We have teams competing in beginner to experienced tournaments.
Socials
All socials this term will be held online. Links to these will be posted on our Facebook page as and when they come up! We also try to end every pool session with a trip to the pub for a short catch up.
Membership
The annual membership includes access to the Edge pool for pool sessions, your insurance, full use of the club’s equipment and access to socials every week. We offer memberships to both students and non-students.
