Tyne Rowing Club is based on the River Tyne at Newburn, just west of Newcastle upon Tyne. The club was founded in 1852 and is amongst the oldest sporting clubs in England. At almost 20km, we have the longest and best stretch of river for rowing in the north of England.
We have active squads for men, women, veteran men, intermediates, novices and juniors. We have a good fleet of boats of all sizes, a roomful of indoor rowing machines and a small weights room. As well as rowing we hold regular social events in the club and elsewhere.
You will usually find us rowing or training at the club on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6.00 to 8.00pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 8.00am till about 1.00pm. We encourage other clubs to visit and use our facilities.
We are pleased to welcome new members. We run Learn to Row courses in July and August for adult beginners and in the summer holidays for junior starters. In May 2010 we launched less formal day time rowing for adults - on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. We work with local schools weekday afternoons in term time.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss anything or come down for a chat - though best to let us know in advance, if you can. You may want to look first at our Learn to Row page, which has details of courses and other opportunites to begin rowing.

More super low tides
There are more extra low tides on the way. The lowest is at 0.04 m on Friday 10th September at 11.40 am BST. However, it's still pretty low on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th around lunchtime, so get out and back in early on those days. Early afternon outings may be difficult.
Tide times and links to related sites are at the foot of this page.
