How to enter
See in the Format and Rules section below who was eligible to enter and what teams
could consist of. The entry form for 2024 is being created online -
Host club responsibilities
Host clubs were asked to note they were responsible for making sure their event was run in a safe and responsible way and that there was full insurance cover for it under their own insurance policy; this included cover for damage or loss to equipment borrowed from other clubs, unless the lending club had confirmed their cover still extended to use by the host. See British Rowing guidance document here (pdf). Clubs were asked to contact the coordinator as above if not clear about this.

Series winners and the final league table in 2023
Here is the overall series league table from 2023 as a large jpg or as a pdf. More info is at the 2023 archive.
Background
The Northern Rowing Council with the help of British Rowing set up the Northern Region Sunday League series in 2012 under the auspices of the national Explore Rowing scheme. We renamed it as the Explore Series in 2016, at the request of British Rowing, but in 2019 we reverted to the old title.
The series is aimed at recreational rowers, novices, recent graduates of learn to row courses and those returning to rowing after a long break. The taking part is arguably more important than the winning, though races can get pretty competitive.
