@Gottylad @MattPrior13 @robkey612 @SussexCCC Those figures aren't right. RRP is £40 & it's £10 to the Club - it's £5 a session which is less than other sports. "plastic kit" is loved by the kids & tbh coaching it is the highlight of my May/June

@chrishollinsTV Do it! One of my favourite story pitches ended up with you getting in an ice bath to celebrate the opening of the Lee Valley athletics centre. It was hilarious (probably less so for you!)

[Building Centre @BuildingCentre]

What do @newartgallery @RCObsGyn & @TheRSC have in common? They’ve all been chosen for our new series #90for90 celebrating 90 years of the Building Centre. But who’s chosen which one? Find out at https://t.co/rVsX3IR2uV

Been doing some research today & came across https://t.co/0F7zte4nGN which is the most brilliant collection of staff photos ever. Really made me smile @TheRSC

@james_witts Ahh I thought I recognised the Park Street hay bale slaloms. ps omfg

@thealpineclub I've absolutely no idea but it's a lovely painting, I think I'll sit and stare at that this morning

[Lara Thornton @Lara_Thornton]

@EdwardPickering *ten tors even. It was that horrible I've forgotten the name.

[Lara Thornton @Lara_Thornton]

@EdwardPickering Don't forget the spirits of countless ill-equipped, badly trained, lost 14 year olds who did Ten Tours (I didn't enjoy it, for the avoidance of doubt)

[Lara Thornton @Lara_Thornton]

@carltonreid Good luck to her for the run!

[Lara Thornton @Lara_Thornton]

I very, very much hope that all the hard work & the progress made - especially on the women's race - isn't lost and that somehow, something will come back to Yorkshire one day.

[Tour de Yorkshire 🚴 @letouryorkshire]

Following lengthy discussions over many months, @Welcome2Yorks along with @amaurysport, local authority partners & wider stakeholders can confirm that with regret & by mutual consent, the 2022 Tour de Yorkshire cycling race will not be going ahead.

@carltonreid Hull (or, 'Ull) is surprisingly alright, some great museums in the centre too

@metoffice I read that as "unreasonably low temperatures..." which to be fair, is spot on. Please make it stop
