If you’re a team player then we have a number of sports clubs at Dumfries campus for you to get involved in.
Rowing: Crichton University Campus Boat Club
Meeting for training several times a week and taking part in competitions and regattas on a regular basis through the year the Boat Club is one of the most popular activities for Dumfries Campus students. We are always looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our team so come and enjoy our three free tasting sessions ! From beginners to more advanced, everyone is welcome!
During the racing season training is on the water and becomes more intense as competitions arise and during the winter season training is mainly indoors as the river is not rowable most of the time so don’t be put off by the Scottish winter weather.
Time: Racing Season: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The times will vary during the week, however Sundays are 10am and weekdays sessions are at 6 pm sessions. Additional morning sessions will occur as and when needed
Winter Season: Monday 6pm, Tuesday 7pm, Wednesday 7pm, Thursday 6:30pm, and Sunday 10am, plus occasional morning sessions.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for among our existing sports or societies, students are encouraged to find others with a similar interest. If its not there already, be the one who starts it! Our universities on campus as well as the Crichton Foundation who support us may even be able to provide funding and resources for you to set up a club that matches your interests.
There is also lots on in the local area and CUCSA will try to keep you but to date with events in and around Dumfries to help you get involved in the local community. If you’ve found a club or society out with the student association and think its a good place to meet people or is suitable for other students then please let us know and we can pass it on to the rest of the student body.
