Tweed Amateur Rowing Club

The Tweed Amateur Rowing Club existed at Berwick - it is not yet clear whether this was a separate club to Berwick ARC (formed 1869) or whether there was a name change at some point. A record of a Tweed A.R.C. Regatta was reported in Bell's Life (28th July 1877):

Tweed Amateur Rowing Club Regatta 1877

This club held their regatta on the usual course, on the great border river, on Monday last, and but for the adverse state of the elements, it would have proved a most successful gathering. As it was, rain began to fall at around 11 0'clock in the forenoon and continued to fall, with little intermission, throughout the remainder of the day. A good programme was issued, and a pretty good muster of people were ready to face the unpleasant atmospheric influences to witness the sport, whilst some interesting contests were witnessed during the afternoon . The following was the result:

The President's Prize
a challenge cup with presentation prizes, presented by Captain D. Milne Home M.P., President of the club, for an open cutter skiff race over 3/4 of a mile.
Final: J. Hogg, Tweed ARC beat R. Neaham Hebburn ARC.
