The Siemens Boat Race of The North

The Boat Race of the North is a rowing event held annually between Newcastle University Boat Club and Durham University Boat Club on the River Tyne in Newcastle. Newcastle University have won the event every year since the event’s return in 2015.

The Tyne Single Scullers Head

Our Scullers Head runs every year in September and welcomes rowers from across the region and beyond. The 2023 TSSH is scheduled for Saturday 9th September. More information can be found for 2023 through the link below!

Jim London Memorial Dinner

Held each year after Rutherford Head, the Jim London Memorial Dinner sees many alumni return for a night of celebration in the toon. The night pays tribute to Jim London and sees the award in his name presented.

Annual Dinner

This student-only event celebrates the successes from the academic year. Held in May, this is the perfect opportunity to look back on a (hopefully!) high achieving BUCS Regatta and Boat Race of The North.

HRR Barbecue

Held on the Saturday of Henley week (normally in Butler’s field behind the enclosures) this is the last alumni event of the rowing calendar. An informal but increasingly delicious affair, the BBQ has progressed to the point where it regularly outclasses its competition – as NUBC does on the water. This is a chance for current students, alumni and supporters to meet and have some good food and drink. Tickets for food are sold throughout Henley week and can also be bought on the day.
