Use of Departmental Punt

The continued availability of this facility depends on responsible use of the equipment provided.

These are the steps that should be followed:
  1. Check availability of punt with Reception [email reception@eng.cam.ac.uk or telephone extension 32600] and reserve it for the period required by giving their name, location and telephone number. Individuals should refrain from booking the punt more often than once in four weeks.
  2. Collect permit from Reception. Individuals should be sure to have their Departmental swipe card (the permit will not be given out without production of swipe card).
  3. Go to Scudamore's in Granta Place, Mill Lane.
  4. Hand in permit at Booking Office.
  5. Scudamore's staff will unchain the punt and provide cushions, punt pole and paddle.
  6. After use punt must be returned Scudamore's and the cushions, punt pole and paddle handed back to a member of staff.
  7. The permit should then be retrieved.
  8. It is important that the permit is returned promptly to Reception so as to be ready for the next user.
