The club held a Big Lunch to foster inter squad relations on 18 July as part of the national initiative. We now hope to win the £300 in the draw for all Big Lunch Organisers. Thanks to Lynne for organising.

The revised Code and Map (on two sheets but in one pdf document) were uploaded today.

Honorary member of Tyne RC, Will Fletcher, has won a medal for the third year running at Henley Royal Regatta.

Tyne had a good day at Tarn on Saturday 3 July, with some first wins for a number of people and the usual interesting navigation exercises and some rerows.

A good month for the girls!

All the news that's fit to print for June.

Tyne men's first coxless four just failed to qualify for the Wyfold Cup proper at Henley on 25 June, by no more than a seond or two. They were fourth (and the second boat eleventh) in the 25 boats missing the cut. See the video on YouTube - link below.

Our rowing 'eight' Jennnifer Swan has been transformed with riggers from quads to produce an 'octuple' sculling boat. It was first used on 24 June.

Double rowed well and coxed four got to semis of Mayglothling.

The club had good junior and senior wins both weekends (5 and 12/13 June)

Tyne Regatta incorporating Tyne at Home was held on 29 May, the second year in its reincarnation. The weather as always was the subject of much conjecture beforehand, but in the event was not as bad (or wet) as expected.

We won some and lost some (and some got a bit wet). Winners were in WIM2 4+, E4-, WE 1x, W MasE 1x, WIM3 2x, IM2 1x and J14 1x.

Some Tyne RC junior members represented Newcastle schools at an informal 'have a learn to row go' and mini rowing marathon on 9 May. £107 was raised for cancer relief. Thanks to Tyne United for the ergos and Gateshead Council for moving them.

Juniors and senior men bring home the goods!

Every Waitrose shop can choose three good causes a month, which it then asks shoppers to choose between to get some cash. They get one token per £5 spent to use. Our juniors are one of the three good causes this month at Ponteland, so get along and spend your money there!

The Special General Meeting on 1 April received the accounts to August 2008 and agreed they were acceptable. The meeting heard that the accounts to August 2009 would be ready soon and a further SGM would be held then. The meeting agreed to ask the Committee to give the highest priority to chasing up members' subscriptions in arrears.

Seven of our junior squad finished work towards their Junior Indoor Rowing Leaders Award (JIRLA) on 30 March.

Tyne men did well at HORR on 27 March and the Vets rowed solidly at Vesta the next day.

After a very thorough internal review of policies and procedures for work with juniors and an external assessment, the club's Clubmark status has been confirmed.

Tyne RC's Women's IM2 crew competed in the Womens' Eights Head of the River Race on the Thames on 13 March 2010. They started at 91 and finished at 74 in a time of 20:39:04. This was 0.16 seconds ahead of Manchester University BC 'A' IM2 with a Tyne member in their crew. A rematch has been demanded!

A SGM has been called for 7.00pm on Thursday 1 April at the clubhouse to consider accounts, and reports on community rowing and club development. Members will get full details by email or post direct.

The Tyne Head race went ahead on 27 February in glorious weather (compared with the preceding few days, anyway) and hopefully was enjoyed by all participants. 117 crews took part in two divisions. The fastest boat of the day was the Tyne RC senior men's IM2 eight with a time of 14:34:25. For some of the novice squad this was their first taste of a real competition, men in a novice eight and women in a coxed quad; not quite such a baptism of fire (or rather water) as in 2009!

We are glad to announce that Amy Ward started work with us as Community Sports Coach on 15 February. She comes from a similar post in the north west of England. The post is funded by British Rowing, Newcastle City Council, local School Sport Partnerships and Sport Unlimited. She will work about 60% of her time with schools and young people and 40% with community-based rowing, focussing on women, BME communities and the over-50s.

The national Junior Volunteer of the Year Award for 2008 was presented at the North East Club Development Conference in Durham at the end of January.

An apology has been given on the way issues concerning another club were raised by a Tyne member.

News from the AGM, Committee, Water Safety Offier and Club Welfare Officer.

The club is featured in two photos on the British Rowing web site home page today. They seem to like pictures of us carrying blades to and from the river!

The cost of membership / subscription at Tyne Rowing Club has changed following a vote at the AGM. The new rates can be viewed in the "Membership" section.

The women's IM2 quad and coxed four travelled to London to compete in the Head of the River Fours, but unfortunately the high winds caused the cancellation of the race.

Fantastic results for all squads, read on for reports from the Men, Women and Junior Squads.

This year Tyne was represented by juniors two doubles, a single and in a composite 4-.

The Tyne Senior Men have had a successful summer racing at national events in two coxless fours.

Saturday saw a fantastic start to the weekend with Tyne winning five events, including Novice coxed fours with a fantastic effort considering they qaulified from our "Learn To Row" course a few months ago!

The Senior Men’s Squad has had its best winter season for many years. With over 20 squad members competing fiercely for seats in boats, two eights were selected and raced at Tyne Head, The North of England Head and The Head of the River Race in London.
