The Siemens Boat Race of the North against Durham returns this month
It’s the annual competition on the River Tyne

From 2:30pm till 4pm, ten races will take place between both the boys and girls firsts and seconds teams. With Newcastle wining the the last two years in a row, the competition is a fierce as ever and the atmosphere on the Quayside promises to be worth the chilly weather.

We’re grateful to both NE1 and Siemens for supporting the event and helping to bring it back to the Tyne.”
