Scudamore's Punt Hire Scheme

Every year, the JCR and MCR pay a subscription to Scudamore's to register the college with their student discount scheme.

In return, studentses get half-price punting. Given how many people punt in May Week (when you save £35 a time) the £120 subscription is nothing, but we would like to see our students making the most of the scheme.
