In 1958, a new boathouse was built and the club admitted women for the first time. The project was overseen by former Olympic coach George Flint.[4] In 1981, facilities were renovated following a promotional scheme.[5]
The annual Hexham Regatta is held on the first Saturday of June.[6]
The club has won gold medals at the British Rowing Championships in 2022, 2023 and 2024.[7][8]
