The Tyne Long Distance Sculling event is an event run jointly by the Tyne Rowing Club and the Northern Rowing Council. The first event was run in 1966 by the Tyne Amateur Rowing Club before it was linked to other events in the region to form the Autumn Sculling Series.
11th November 1878
Perhaps a slightly smaller entry than the organisers had hoped for but nevertheless many of the old faithfuls appeared together with one or two new faces. Up to the last minute it looked as though George Parsonage would lose his proud record of having competed in all the Tyne Long Distance Sculling races but due to the fact that this years event was sculled from Newburn to Scotswood, he was, despite his last minute arrival able to take up his position in time. A fine performance by Arthur Wood of Cambois earned him yet another Senior B Pennant behind overall winner Fraser Thompson of Berwick. George Parsonage of Clydesdale took the runners up Pennant. Geoff Appleby of Tyne although a veteran in fact entered in the Senior C Division and having recorded the fastest time therein duly collected his pennant leaving the Veteran Pennant open to Chris Kenyon of Tees who derived no pleasure from being informed that this was the lowest down the results list that the Veteran Pennant had ever been won! Sadly there was only one entry in the Womens Division - Angela Dobson of Selset who whilst she could quite easily have collected her pennant by merely going from one end of the course to the other, decided to race a few of the men and at the end of the day found 5 of them behind her!
A disappointing feature was that the Durham ARC team failed to materialise allowing a clean sweep by the two Tyne teams in the team competition. Apparently the reason for the race being from Newburn to Scotswood as opposed to the other way around (the more usual course) was to prevent undue delays in scullers arriving at the start. There appeared to be a school of opinion afterwards who felt that this legislated rather unkindly against those scullers who manage to get themselves to the start at Scotswood on time and who rely on the good steady long paddle to Scotswood to get properly warmed up.
