		<title>North East Indoor Rowing Championships</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Newcastle University Boat Club made the short trip down a windy A1 to take part in the North East Indoor Rowing Championships in Durham. With the (now removed from their website) bold threat from Durham University Boat Club, that they would dominate us on their home turf ringing in their minds, our men and women [...]]]></description>

NUBC placed 2nd overall, with 36 points ahead of Loughborough and the University of East London and behind Durham, in the process winning more medals than any other club. The weekend began [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beginners wanted!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NUBC relies on developing new talent to support its highly successful senior squads. We are the only high-performance club at Newcastle University to recruit beginners, and this year is no exception. We are looking to recruit two squads of rowers (men and women) to build on the successes of last season. University rowing is one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blues &amp; Royals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it has come to the end of another year.  Another cycle of the rowing calendar has spun before us, throwing up the familiar scenes of drama, controversy, glory and passion.  Charged with chronicling these events, I find myself stretched to the limit of my literary capacity to encapsulate all that has occurred in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Henley Women&#8217;s Regatta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Through all my years of life, sport and writing I have never claimed to understand women.  They are a mysterious and complicated breed who take to the sport of rowing rather like a duck takes to tar.  It is for this reason, as well as a slight fear of their tantrums and hissy fits that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Champions Lead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that we had dealt with the formalities of 5k Head season, it was time for us Geordie types to switch our attention onto the shorter, more unpleasant, high octane thrills of the 2k regatta season.  These races are widely acknowledged to be slightly less dull than their longer, winter counterparts.  According to my father, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunday, bloody Sunday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On to the Sunday. Traditionally a day of rest for most God fearing sportsmen, Newcastle hoped to use this day of days to hammer home their advantage.  And hammer we did.  Racing today were the men’s championship 4s, the women’s championship 8’s, the novice men’s 8 and the lightweight men’s contingent.  Time to shine!  Inspired [...]]]></description>

		<title>Man day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday’s child, as they say, is fair of face.  However, nothing was fair about these races as more wind and waves made all crews suffer.  The men’s championship 4x were drilled in the heat by Leander – sorry The University of East London, but managed to make the rep (or so they thought).  The women’s [...]]]></description>
