Tees Rowing Club is a rowing club based on the River Tees in Northeast England. The club is currently based at the River Tees Watersports Centre in Stockton-on-Tees and is affiliated to British Rowing.
The blade colours are or were "white, with a light blue and maroon stripe"; kit: maroon with two light blue side stripes.[https://www.britishrowing.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Handbook-2020-v2-PJI-Page-57-Removed-compressed.pdf The Umpires' Handbook] British Rowing, 2020: at p.47. The blade without white is a recent photography-based variant and likely post-dates 2020, due to a change of colours.
History
The club was founded in 1864, with the first boathouse opened one year later.{{cite news |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002975/18650915/091/0007 |title=Walbrook Rowing Club |website=Stockton Herald, South Durham and Cleveland Advertiser |date=15 September 1865 |via=British Newspaper Archive |url-access=subscription |access-date=13 February 2025 }}
