NBRC had great fun at our candlelit quiz night on 24th Nov. [flickr photo=38045090164 size=small] The quiz teams were challenged on their knowledge of musicals and current affairs, and wracked their brains on the colours of international flags, as well as local questions (who knew the number of golf courses in E. Lothian?). Then for …
22 North Berwick red shirts (nearly a quarter of the club) braved the 13 mile row up the river Clyde on Saturday. NB sent a fleet of 5 boats, some with 4 rowers, 3 rowers and 2 rowers – but all with 4 oars! There was a total of 75 boats in the inaugural Castle …
Helmsdale, as we discovered, is a long way from North Berwick to drive on a Friday afternoon. We’ve bumped oars with the Bunillidh crews at many regattas over the last few years, but they’d always said that their own regatta was just a wee affair for local clubs only, well we asked, and we pestered …
Our regatta this year will be held on Saturday 26th August 2017. We will have races around Craigleith, approx 1.8miles, which takes anything from 18-30 mins depending on conditions of water and crew! Depending on conditions we may need to split the races into 2 waves (stronger the wind, the less boats we can manage …
North Berwick was well represented at Saturday’s Regatta, hosted by Royal West at Greenock. 14 intrepid enthusiasts braved unrelenting summer showers, in search of on the water success. Anstruther, Royal West, the FOCCRS, NB and Arran, who were an unknown quantity, made for a thoroughly jolly, competetive, yet friendly day. Memories from 2015 were of …
Well this was the big one a small but very fit 21 headed up to Ullapool. With the forecast changing by the hour we were all packed to the gunnels, Skiff John B looking great and raring to go, with our gazebo strapped in to save us from whatever the weather would fling at us. …
On Sunday we held our first ever Junior Rowing Regatta at North Berwick, the idea was planted about 9 months ago by Robbie, and evolved from an attempt to copy the format we normally use on full regattas, to realising that a looser, more relaxed day might be called for.

The day dawned windy and wet but who was to know that by the end of the day we’d be sitting on the wall of Portobello prom, quaffing Jacque’s raffle-prize cider in brilliant sunshine. The regatta was attended by 9 clubs and by the start of the first race the rain had stopped and the …
They came on planes, in cars, on boats and jumped on their rental bikes on arrival. North Berwick crews, sporting their natty away-jackets, descended on Woudrichem in style for their first international regatta. [flickr photo=34826359392 size=medium] The welcome they found in Woudrichem was overwhelming. A few of us would confess that the prospect of the …
In late May eighteen rowers and various children travelled to Achiltibue for the regatta which is probably the furthest for most to travel to but nonetheless one of the most popular in the calendar. The weather forecast was for a dreich day, we were not let down and the club gazebo made life bearable for …
