Welcome to Tyne ARC

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.

Rutherford Head - entries suspended but party tickets available

Entries opened on BROE at 6.00pm on Thursday 1 November 2018 but it was full by 7.30pm and entries were and remain suspended. As of 2 November clubs will be contacted shortly to say if their crews are definiely in or are on the waiting list.There are 12 crews currently on the waiting list for each division. Too early to start watching the weather forecast, but do find some slightly rough water to train on!

No waiting list yet for the exciting after-race party starting at 7.00pm on Rutherford day in the club house. But there are a limited number of tickets available, so don't wait to buy. Tickets are on sale for £4 via Eventbrite (search for 'Rutherford') or on the night at £5 subject to capacity remainng. Details and updates will be posted on the party page here.

The Tyne at Newburn in 1958

"I thought they ran Rutherford going upstream!" This photo shows Newburn Bridge in 1958. Compared with the last photo Spencer's Steelworks, apart from the odd building, is long-gone. Percy Pit heap is still very prominent in the background and the signal box by the level crossing would still have been in use. You can still see today a few timbers from the lighters in tehforeground.
