Content and context

The club came into existence in 1965 and was primarily drawn from undergraduates. Its activities included a speaker programme, social events and "digs". The latter were weekends away from the Cambridge to provide voluntary labour on canal restoration projects.

This file includes correspondence with speakers, term programmes, event posters, end of year accounts and circulars from national organisations, particularly the Inland Waterways Association.

This item was transferred to the University Archives from the Manuscripts Department on 9 October 2007. It had been presented by Cambridge University Canal Club to the Manuscripts Department on 26 June 1985 and had been given the classmark Ms.Add.8557
