@JuniorRowing @HenleywRegatta Small correction: @AnnabelEyres presented HRR Chairman Peter Coni with 'The Gentlemen's Plate' at the National Championships in 1990 rather than the World Championships (Iin Tasmania) - rowingstory.com/people/annabel…

@david_biddulph @SleepstoHRR Rather than University of Bristol Table Tennis Team

@SleepstoHRR If it were UBCCC it could be University of Bristol Cross Country Club.

There are 175 sleeps to Henley Royal Regatta 2024. #HRR24 Apologies for straying off rowing and flooding for a second - but a challenge for the blazer experts: UBTTT? 🤔

@JuniorRowing So, so sorry for your and your mum's other family's and friends' loss, Tom.

@ojngill Another great thing about Amsterdam is the lack of supermarkets!

Not one shopping trolley that I can see

@TheCumbercat I've now had a taker unless he really, really wants it!

Anyone near Thames Ditton have a use for this old needle sweep blade with copper tip - handle missing? Ideal for very traditional presentation oar?

@SleepstoHRR What a pair!

There are 187 sleeps to Henley Royal Regatta 2024. #HRR24 That year Santa didn’t come good with the new kit order in time for training to start again..

@martingough22 @homelesslondon Well done, Martin! We applauded you for a few laps at about 6.30pm - realising that you still had a LOOONG wayto go after that.

Well *that* was quite an adventure. Thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Herne Hill Velodrome Festive 500. Over £2k raised so far for Friends of HHV and @homelesslondon. Thanks to everyone who has donated. Link is still in bio if you still want to.

@LizBakerBeing @BritishRowing @HenleywRegatta I know that a previous HWR Chairman preferred this title as she did not want to share a role name with a piece of furniture.

@BritishRowing @HenleywRegatta Congratulations to Naomi! Can I suggest that @HenleywRegatta considers changing the role title to 'Chair', rather than 'Chairman'?

2002 World Champion Naomi Ashcroft has been appointed Chairman of Henley Women's Regatta. Naomi said, "I look forward to supporting and leading our great team of volunteers so that @HenleywRegatta continues to grow as a world class regatta" Read more👇 britishrowing.org/2023/11/henley…

@JenBartram I live the way they curl their hind toes like that!

Would a picture of Nutmeg’s legs lighten the world a little bit? I don’t know, but am willing to share anyway. Also wondering if I can monetise her paw pictures

@scullinggirl How to choose between that orange, the ice cream and the rollerskate...

@SarahHa04980236 @IanShore Pete Sheppard, Rosie Mayglothling and Martin McElroy

I thank @IanShore Who would you thank?

@scullinggirl Respect!

@scullinggirl @helandro She might be asking you to get a larger window box...

The @WorldRowing Championships start tomorrow. GB has 8 women's boats entered - as they did 21 years ago, when we won one event for the third year running (with three different crews), but other results were disappointing. Here's what happened: rowingstory.com/year-by-year/2…

It may be August… but the countdown is on to our entries opening. Check out our new entries process 👇 fourshead.org/2023/08/05/cha…

@JenBartram @HenleyRegatta Me!

Who from my rowing pals will be at @HenleyRegatta next Tuesday?

@PhelpsAnnamarie Yes, Helen Mangan and before her Liz Monti in 1974 were mothers to row for GB at the World Championships. They are the only 3, though, and Helen Glover the only one to row at an Olympics.

Not really a discipline change (sweep to sweep 🤔): nor the first mother (short memories 🤔Helen Mangan?) but great to see Helen Glover on road to be part of Britain's rowing team at Paris 2024 #inspirational insidethegames.biz/articles/11363…

@ThamesTradesmen Because it's the taking part that counts.

As we can’t row at the moment. Please tell us why you row! Wrong answers only! I’ll start Because I want big arms and enjoy waking up before the bin-men

@joannerharris For the watcher this is also both cool and slightly terrifying - I guess because we're used to seeing in-boat video from a point fixed to the boat rathe rthan sliding up and down. Lovely day for it!

My brother and his OH gave me fancy sunnies for Xmas which take video - they terrify me slightly but they're also pretty cool. The app also turns clips into a montage!
