On HTBS: On Thursday, 27th of February, the River & Rowing Museum’s board of trustees announced that the museum will “cease the current operation in a considered and managed way” as it was “not viable in the long-term”. Tim Koch has the report. heartheboatsing.com/2025/02/28/t...

Shouting at spelling bee today for not recognising the words I am inputting. How is ricier not a word? My risotto is ricier than your macaroni cheese. Did agree than unfill might actually not be a word as empty does the job.

Pre-sliced Soreen Malt Loaf : another in the occasional series of 'how did we live before ...'

Looking forward to meeting and discussing the HRR racing programme with clubs, unis and schools over the next eight weeks

Pub lunch with chums today - table of four. 10% service charge added to the bill. For bringing the food to the table - that's all. Really cross with them. Add £2 to the cost of the food FFS and don't pretend it's a tip.

Just found a wish list I had forgotten ... It included these sheep and now I am plotting how to steal some of the campsite next door to make happen!

Happy Birthday @tomcarter82.bsky.social - may the girls help you with all those candles!

A quick one before bedtime, catching this was a bit of a dream. Phenomenal conditions of flat water, no wind, clearing mist and the gentlest kiss of sunlight hitting an iconic landmark (for rowers at least!). Rude not to really…

Also another of my favourite rowing Umpires is here @danwwalker.bsky.social #rowing @mattpinsent.bsky.social @richardphelps.bsky.social @gbrchrisa.bsky.social @ciaranhayes.bsky.social @scullinggirl.bsky.social Sorry that makes more sense than earlier where I hadn't included Dan's tag!

There are 152 sleeps to Henley Royal Regatta 2025. #HRR25 “So the alternative is an hour UT2 of this… 🤔” Coach decided to see the lengths the crew would go to avoid doing an ergo.. 📸 Henley Regatta

On HTBS: International regatta posters are great pieces of graphic art. These posters were regularly printed to promote the events. From 1900 to about 1975, these posters mostly featured graphic designs, rowing historian Bill Miller writes and displays 32 poster. heartheboatsing.com/2025/01/29/p...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Look who is here @katb78.bsky.social @k8os.bsky.social @scullinggirl.bsky.social @alisonseed.bsky.social and others!

FYI, The Female Body Bible, co-written by my pal, former Great Britain rower Baz Moffat, is a Kindle daily deal today.

@osteopathtish.bsky.social we're in Sennen Cove for the weekend - will wave at you!

Planning permission decision deferred again ... This time whilst they decide whether we are enhancing the site. We have found and recreated the pond, planted hedging, removed scrap vehicles and hardcore, created a stumpery, planted a wildflower verge, returned an abandoned building to a home.

Discover the untold stories behind GB Rowing’s journey from plucky amateurs on the World’s stage, to dominating the Olympic and Paralympic Regattas. With Martin Cross, David Tanner, Alan Campbell, Phelan Hill, Naomi Richards, AnnMarie Phelps, Greg Searle and Gary Herbert rrm.co.uk/event/striking…

Just a reminder to all UK & Ireland rowing club captains and coaches... Be sure to go to the back of the club to dig out your odd sculling oars, then list them on FindOar.
