Talk:List of rowing clubs on the River Wear

Active clubs

Can anyone say (preferably with supporting references) whether Durham High School, Durham Constabulary and Durham Johnston still row?--Teach46 (talk) 08:28, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

http://www.durham.police.uk/press/news.php?id=883 This press release would imply the Police club was seriously active in 2008. Further this race entry 2009 suggests the club was active in races see race 140: http://www.durham-arc.org.uk/uploads/File/Durham%20City%202009/citysun09.pdf . Also see this race in 2008; crew with finish number 39 -http://www.nerowing.com/results/08wearLDS.html

Although it seems to not be very active, in my opinion running its own regatta, being registered with the ARA and entering some races means it can be included in this list. It doubt it would satisfy wikipedia's notability requirement for a separate page. Martinmurphy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinmurphy (talk • contribs) 16:11, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, I'll watch out for them at Wear LDS in a week or two! Thanks for that one. Now for the others... --Teach46 (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

http://www.britishrowing.org/clubs/durham-high-school-bc is all I can find on durham high school. Is this enough? As for Durham Johnson I can't find any real evidence on google for its recent existence. I suggest that unless more evidence can be submitted (say within two weeks) proving that the clubs still exist and are active then Durham Johnson and perhaps durham high school should be removed. Of course if proof could be given after that point then they should be replaced on the list again. Martinmurphy (talk) 17:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I found that one about Durham High School too. I'm sort of active in the rowing scene on the Wear and I hear that they do row but out of DARC. Let's leave them in but, perhaps remove Durham Johnston as they're not even on the ARA site.--Teach46 (talk) 07:51, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. DHSBC to stay, Durham Johnson to go unless any editors can evidence for a reprieve. Martinmurphy (talk) 19:38, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Is been 2 weeks with no additional contributions. I am removing Durham Johnson from the list. Martinmurphy (talk) 12:41, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Durham Constabulary

I've added the Durham Amateur Blade image for Durham Constabulary now as I believe this is what they use. This also agrees with the information on the British Rowing website. Aloneinthewild (talk) 10:57, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
