Tyne (Joint) Regatta

Tyne Regatta is one of the oldest regattas in the north. The name Tyne Joint Regatta was introduced when the Tyne Rowing Weekend was founded and the Saturday was the Tyne-at-Home Regatta run by Tyne ARC, followed by the Tyne Joint Regatta on the Sunday run under the auspices of Tyne ARC, Tynemouth RC, Tyne United RC, Newcastle University BC, South Shields ARC and Hexham RC.

The Tyne Rowing Weekend no longer exists; the Tyne-at-Home Regatta is still offered annually to competitors but the Tyne Joint Regatta was not considered to be an ongoing viable event and ceased in the late 1990s.
