The club is open to new members with any level of experience, whether the are a student at our university, another institution or not a student at all. If you would like some information or are interesting in maybe joining the club, please feel free to get in touch.
We run weekly pool sessions every Wednesday at the Aquatics Centre on Oxford Road, with a meal before and a club social night out afterwards. We also usually get out to do a river trip or two every weekend (a beginner trip and an advanced trip if possible).
Freshers in 2009 and Other New Members
If you're a fresher in September 2009, or if you're already a student but would like to get involved, here is the key information you will need:
- Annual Membership Fee - To be confirmed asap (last year was £15).
- AU Membership - A fee of (£15?) must be paid in order to join MMU Athletic Union, and is required to join any club or society - but is only paid once, regardless of how many clubs you join.
- Pool fees - We have weekly pool sessions every Wednesday in the first two terms (September to Easter) at the Manchester Aquatics Centre on Oxford Road, which can be paid for on a weekly basis at £4 per session or on a termly basis at £30 per term.
- River Trips & Other Events - We usually run river trips every weekend (a beginner and advanced trip where possible), and depending on numbers, this can require vehicle hire, also includes petrol costs, and unusually a cost to access the river or whitewater centre. What we do is take all costs into account and each person pays their share. We can sometimes get funding from the AU towards this.
- Social Events - We try to arrange social events frequently to allow members of the club to get to know each other 'off the river', such as food, drinks, nights out, birthdays, BBQs, etc.
