This Is MUCC...

Joining the club is a great, affordable way to get into a new sport or to meet new people to go paddling with. From complete novices to seasoned alpine kayakers, everyone is welcome! Below are just some of the things we do:

Whitewater Kayaking

Conquer rivers, large or small, there aren't many things more exciting than kayaking. Our regular trips give you chance to practice skills from our Tuesday evening pool sessions, so you'll soon be paddling like a pro! We also compete at the BUCS White Water Racing event and aim to run an Alpine trip at the end of the academic year. Matimus is the man with the plan here.

Canoe Polo

Polo is a team game similar to basketball but with boats! Training with us on Thursday nights and taking part in our frequent fixtures is a great way to improve your paddling quickly, but the best bit by far is that you can "bin" people (push them in the water). We compete regularly against other northern universities and annually at BUCS Polo. Nika is your girl for more info.

Slalom

Weave your way through awkward gates and tight corners, this takes some skill but looks impressive when you get it right (and absolutely hilarious when it messes up). We're more than capable of teaching you how it's done though, so come along and give it a go! BUCS Slalom is the main event here. Clare (our unofficial slalom sec) is your woman for more info.

Playboating

If you want to look really cool in a boat, this is the way to do it. Learn how to pull off big moves like cartwheels and air screws, or just surf a wave and casually twirl your paddles, your mates will definitely be impressed! The National Student Rodeo is the annual event here, and a great party too! Andy Williams will soon get you throwing a boat around if you ask him nicely.

Socials

You can do more than just paddle with us! From Alton Towers trips to Tea Shop crawls, Laser Quest socials to fancy meals, there's something for everyone. We also do more usual things like bar crawls, afterall, booze tastes better than river water! Your resident party people are Nicholas & Polly, so come along to one of their many socials and don't forget the port!
