Background and overall results for 2019
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,at the request of British Rowing in 2016, but as of 2019 we have now reverted to the old title of Sunday League (sorry BR). The series is aimed at recreational rowers, novices, recent graduates of learn to row courses and those returning to rowing after a break.
In 2019, the eighth year of our Sunday League / Explore Series, we ended up with Open series winners being It’s Chico Tyne (Tyne ARC) and Women’s series winners being Tynequila (Tyne ARC). The final Series league tables for 2019 are here as pdf and jpg .

See in the Format and Rules below who is eligible to enter and what teams can consist of. The entry form (Excel spreadsheet) to be used is here. This should be returned each month by the Wednesday before the event in question to coordinator Colin Lawson at colin60lawson@gmail.com.
British Rowing generic guidance on events like the Sunday League series
British Rowing has issued generic guidance on Explore Series events (based, we have to say, very much on this region’s work). Whilst the local rules below are much more detailed, you may wish to have a look at the BR document, especially if you are a host club.
In particular host clubs should note they are responsible for making sure there is full insurance cover for their home event under their own insurance policy; this includes cover for damage or loss to equipment borrowed from other clubs, unless the lending club has confirmed their cover still extends to use by the host. See the document here (pdf).
