Welcome to Tyne Rowing Club
Our Club is on the River Tyne ,just west of Newcastle upon Tyne,on the route of the Hadrian's Wall way.The Club was founded in 1852 and is amongst the oldest sporting clubs in England. Sir Steve Redgrave helped us celebrate our sesquicentennial by attending the celebration dinner in 2002.
Tyne has one of the longest and best stretches of river to row on in the North of England with almost 20km of usable river.
We have an active membership of men, women, veterans and juniors and a modern fleet of boats of all sizes. There are a weights room and a number of ergos for land training and good running paths nearby.
We are always pleased to welcome new members and can provide coaching to beginners and to more experienced oarspeople. We also welcome visiting clubs, both local and from afar who may wish to come down and use our facilities and the Tyne.
The Club is open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6pm and on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9am. If you are interested in joining us then please contact the Captain.
We hope you find our website interesting. You will find contact details and a map showing the Club's location, some history information,useful links and photographs of rowing crews in action.
