Berwick Amateur Rowing Club - Boathouse by the River Tweed
Berwick Amateur Rowing Club, New Road, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1BE
It all began in early 1869 when a meeting was called in the town to form a rowing club, This was to promote the sport of rowing in a friendly and gentlemanly manner and many gentlemen joined. The present site was given to erect a boathouse on the Berwick side of the Tweed and, constructed almost entirely of timber, it was completed in that same year.
The first regatta held at Berwick was in September 1869 and the course was from the Plantation to the Boathouse downstream. The club is still thriving today and uses its boathouse on the New Road for training and hosting rowing events.
