Congratulations to everyone who received their A-level results today! If you’re looking for something new to try while at uni, or you’re already a seasoned rower- join HBBC! We’re a welcoming club with over 80 members, from people who had never touched a blade before uni, to those who have been rowing for most of their lives. If you’re interested or have any questions, DM us! We’re happy to answer any and all questions. More info to come soon, so follow us to stay in the loop!

With the 2025/2026 season coming to an end, it’s time for our Easter Term newsletter! With details of our new boats, erg room renovation and many many race wins, it’s definitely not one to miss.

The one we’ve all been waiting for…it’s finally time for Durham regatta!!
We have many crews racing on both days this weekend, so get yourselves down to the weir for some fabulous displays of rowing 🚣‍♂️

Hexham regatta was very successful for Hild Bede Boat Club, with two squads coming away with medals!
In div 2, the womens 2V won their first race against St Aidens college, and had such a close race against Collingwood that they had to rerow, sadly losing by 1 length.
The Nov men won their first race against Collingwood by 3 lengths, losing against Hatfield in the semi-finals.
The mixed 8+ won their first race against Van Mildert by 3 lengths, going on to win against Grey college in the final to win themselves a medal!
The mens 4+ won their first race against Trevelyan College easily, going on to beat Queen Elizabeth High School in the semi-final. They beat Hatfield by 1 length in the final, winning the event!! This was the first time the boys had won an event, and they have now become one with their medals.
This was a very successful day for Hild Bede, and with Durham Regatta right around the corner it is looking very promising! 🩵
