Tyne Amateur Rowing Club sits on the River Tyne at Newburn, about 7 miles west of Newcastle city centre. We have the longest and arguably best stretch of river for rowing in the north of England. And we have a new clubhouse with excellent indoor facilities. See our Welcome page for more details

Novices returning to land as the sun sets on 3 August 2017

Every year in the summer the club runs learn-to-row (L2R) courses for both seniors and juniors. The seniors finished some weeks ago and those carrying on are now forming our new Novice Squad together with some old stalwarts and a few other recent recruits. An earlier start this year means they go into winter with more experience and confidence.

The second of our 2017 junior L2R courses finished on 17 August and we have had over 30 trainees over the two weeks. Ages were from 12 to 16 with quite a range in sizes. We hope a good number will carry on with the club in the Junior Squad. The last part of the process for seniors and juniors alike is the swim test and capsize drill at West Denton Pool on 9 September.
