Over the past few weeks we’ve been getting put through our paces (weather permitting) in readiness for the Rutherford Head taking place this coming Saturday, 1st December in Tyneside.  As a relatively new club, we’re very excited to have 2 boats in the line up; 1 x women’s 8+ and 1 x mens 8+.  Good luck to everyone taking part!

About Rutherford Head;

Rutherford Head is Tyne ARC’s premier rowing event, run over a 4500 metre course from Scotswood to Newburn. Racing starts 10:30 (Div 1) and 13:45 (Div 2). If not rowing, why not come and watch? Food and drinks on sale all day. Social event in evening. Details including the poster are at www.tynerowingclub.org/pages/rutherford_head_180561.cfm. Entries open on BROE at 6.00pm sharp on 1 November 2018.

In October the club put in four crews at Aberdeen Head of River race. A good time was had by all in spite of the cold!

Great to welcome some new faces to our recent “Return to Row” event. Ex-rowers considering returning to the sport please do get in touch. Photo shows current club members in our “C” class quad, ideal for days of less than smooth water!

We’ll be holding a special session for ex-rowers considering coming back to the sport on Saturday 18 August, 2018.

The event will start with a row at 1pm (boats will depend on numbers/weather) and will follow with a BBQ/refreshments and chance to find out more from current club members.

Ex-scullers and/or sweep rowers welcome. Sorry but we can only currently cater for over 18’s due to facilities.

Please book in advance. To contact us by email see foot of page.
