* There were two independent SBHs  with sweep (pairs and fours only) these afternoons at Tees RC and Tyne United RC - see the host clubs’ own web sites for details of the SBHs. Neither of these two events with sweep counted  towards the series awards.

** Wansbeck SBH was included on BROE as a division of the LDS, as it was run by NRC. It included sweep (pairs and fours only) and did not count towards the LDS series awards.

LDS series background

 

The Northern Rowing Council with the help of host clubs runs the LDS (Long Distance Sculling) series every autumn. Until fairly recently the series was run over six Saturdays in a row at six different clubs. In 2012 it was down to three, in 2013 it was back to five and we repeated that in 2014.  It may be back to six events over six weekends in 2015.

 

Coordinator for the series was Sarah Smith.

The prizes were presented at the NRC AGM in November 2014 by Charly Curtis.

Pauline Higgins received the trophy on behalf of Queen Elizabeth High School who won with

133 points. The runners-up were Tyne on 88 points, just ahead of Durham ARC on 87.

  

Masters

Dilwyn Jones received the trophy on behalf of Tees RC who won with 183 points. The runners

up were Tyne on 139, followed by Durham on 116.
