Overall, a disappointing season for the 1st XV. A combination of injuries to key players and the loss of John Fletcher and Simon Clayton-Hibbott had more effect than expected.
The 1st XV lost to Bradford & Bingley in the first round of the Pilkington Cup and to Newcastle Gosforth in the Northumberland Senior Cup.
24th April 1994 saw the celebration of the centenary of the first Sevens Competition held on English soil. In a magnificent tournament at Tynedale Park the final between the South African 'Villagers' team and the Australian 'Manly' side, was a fitting climax to a superb day organised by a committee under the chairmanship of John Suddes.
The new management structure, with a Board of Management comprising the Chief Executive, Hon. Secretary, Hon. Treasurer, Director of Rugby and three other elected members, began to operate during the season. Initially the committee, chaired by Bill Dinning met weekly, then fortnightly.
The Ladies Committee contributed £4,500 to club funds.
Planning approval was received for the erection of three extra training floodlights, and, separately, for the extension of the east wall of the lounge to give more space for club users.
Andrew Blyth has represented England Schools for two seasons, winning nine caps. This season he was top points scorer in the team.
A new coach, Jimmy Baldwin, was appointed for 1994-95, succeeding Iain Harris and Steve Mullins.
New appointments for 1994-95 were:- Chief Executive, W.A. Dinning; Director of Rugby, W.E. Cousin; President, A.W. Coates; Vice-President, W.I.F. Blyth. 3 members of the management committee - A.J. Orman, J.D.L. Robinson and W. Robson.
