The official opening of the new club house by the Duchess of Northumberland took place on Saturday 18 June 2016 in the morning, before the Tyne Regatta in the afternoon. The club saw maybe 200 guests, friends and members to admire the new (and sparklingly clean) clubhouse.
The Duchess of Northumberland attended and was shown round the building, taking great interest in everything that was going on. She christened a boat and then gave a well-informed speech. A plaque was unveiled just inside the front door - look out for it.
