What happens in my first session?
Your first two sessions is always free, just so you can check you actually like it before buying membership. See the Weekly Post on the facebook and sign onto a session. Seen as you're new to the club you'll have to do a swim (50m unaided in paddling kit) and deck test (here's a video of what that'll look like)
Do I need my own boat?
No, absolutely not! The club has loads of boats to lend to you.
What about other kit?
The club has plenty of BAs, spray decks, paddles and wetsuits, all things you will need for a whitewater or polo trip. However, you will need to bring thermals and fleeces to stay warm and some trainers to wear on the water.
What do I bring on a whitewater trip?
For every trip you will need:
lots of synthetic thermals
synthetic fleeces
swimwear
towel
shoes you don't mind getting wet
warm clothes for off the river
a little food (snacks)
something to drink
woolly SUCC hat :)
For some trips, look on your trip information sheet to find out whether you need:
a sleeping bag
a sleeping mat
lots of food
However the trip leader should always give you a kit list.
How much is membership?
Annual: £60
Semester: £35
Alumni/staff: £25

How much do the trips cost?
Trip costs depend on a number of things - petrol, entry costs, accommodation, duration. It's worth speaking to committee if you have any concerns about financing trips.
