Crichton University Campus Boat Club

We're back!
After a slow start to the season we are back at rowing.

Our first 3 free taster sessions are held on
Monday 4th @ 4.30pm
Thursday 7th @ 4.30pm
Saturday 9th @ 9.30am

You will need to bring a mask, a water bottle, suitable gym clothing and shoes with you. We would also like to ask you to bring suitable outdoor clothing with you. Preferably clothing without pockets as these can cause issues when rowing.

We will meet you at the boathouse.
1 Nith Ave, Dumfries DG1 1EF

If you would like us to meet you at Burns Statue, please let us know in advance.

Can't wait to see you all!

Keep an eye on our social media for updates on free taster sessions!

Freshers fair tomorrow! Come meet the club and hear about rowing during the fresher fair on Wednesday from 11am until 3pm! See you there ✌🏼

Finally back out on the water this morning after a few weeks stuck indoors ☀️

Great to see one of our club members, Leonie Lepple, picking up the Sir David Landale Prize from the Crichton Foundation

Nice one, Leo 👏🏻

Sir David Landale Prize

This prize is awarded annually to the university student who has made an outstanding contribution to the Crichton Campus in the Dumfries and Galloway region. It was established following a bequest from the late Sir David who was the founding Convenor of the Crichton Foundation and it is awarded in his memory.

The 2018 winner is Leonie Lepple. The Foundation’s Awards Committee selected Leonie as the winner from the nominations submitted from both the Universities of Glasgow and the West of Scotland. Leonie is studying for a BSc Environmental Science and Sustainability at the University of Glasgow in Dumfries. Originally from Germany, she trained as a nurse before travelling the world and changing her career path. Alongside her studies Leonie works part time as a carer, she is a student ambassador, she is an e-mentor for the Universities Ask a Student web site, she worked tirelessly to meet and greet the 200 or more interviewees who attended the campus for their interviews for the MA in Primary Education, she is a winner of the university wide ‘My Story’ competition and she is actively involved in the Crichton University Campus Boat Club. In her free time Leonie has set up a food blog on Instagram, Ginger & Strudel, along with her flatmate. This promotes affordable and healthy food options for students. Leonie is described by tutors as “showing enthusiasm with everything she does” and “a credit to herself in the roll of student ambassador.” Leonie is a very worthy winner of this prestigious prize.

We have our second Freshers taster sessions today at 6pm! Meet us at the Burns Statue if you're unsure where the boathouse is, see you there!

We’re all set up for today’s Crichton University Campus Student Association (CUCSA) Fresher’s Fair... come find us at Maxwell House and have a go at our 100m challenge or just a taste of our home baking!

See you there 🚣🏻‍♀️
