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.
