Long Distance Sculling series 2015

* Wansbeck SBH is included on BROE as a division of the LDS, as it is run by the NRC. It includes sweep (pairs and fours only) and does not count towards the LDS series awards.

** There are independent SBHs  with sweep (pairs and fours only) in the afternoons at Tees RC, Tyne United RC and Durham ARC (probably) - see the host clubs’ own web sites for details of the SBHs. No points are awarded for the SBH events towards the LDS series victor ludorum prizes.
