@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) - https://t.co/YA8TwpWmdr

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

@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!

@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?

[Helena Smalman-Smith @ExpeditionRower]

@SleepstoHRR What a pair!

[Helena Smalman-Smith @ExpeditionRower]

@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.

@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.

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

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

[Helena Smalman-Smith @ExpeditionRower]

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

@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: https://t.co/HyxrFQhmMu

@JenBartram @HenleyRegatta Me!

[Helena Smalman-Smith @ExpeditionRower]

@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.

[Helena Smalman-Smith @ExpeditionRower]

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

@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!
