What a fantastic result! Both Bristol crews through to the inaugural @Power8Sprints final. Well done to everyone involved in getting these crews together and ready for this completely new event👏
Everyone in the @WAGSRowing region should be very proud 😊

After eating asparagus, my wife and I always shout "Asparagus!" when we notice the after-effects whilst having a post-meal wee. I did it last night but forgot that we had guests for dinner.

The fours rack is almost empty and our 3 @vetfourshead crews are on the way to London for the race at lunch time. Good luck all 💪💪 #rowing #mastersrowing

This is terrible news and will only serve to make BR even more detached from clubs. Shame we had to hear it second-hand. We hope everyone affected will be able to find meaningful jobs in the rowing community.

@andrewthodge This combined with Andy Parkinson's departure suggests some big change coming for BR. Performance related? Not a good Olympics for Team GB either. Personally I'd love to see BR doing more for its members 😕

Stay safe everyone. Remember, boats are replaceable...people aren't.

Highest ever recorded. Gym and changing rooms totally submerged (as will the @Habsmonmouth girls' boathouse). Lapping the upstairs boathouse. For all our problems, though, we are thinking of the folks on the opposite bank who have been evacuated with several feet of flooding.

If ur in a rowing club & weren't aware, clubs affected by flooding can claim up to £5,000 towards repairing damage through Sport England's Community Asset Fund. Our Community Support team ([email protected]) will continue 2 support & endorse applications as required

With the expectation that it's going to be another windy weekend, it seemed timely to upload some footage from the Head of The Nene last week. Horrendous conditions but at least it was good prep for the Tideway! @EightsHead #rowing #windy #justgetrowing
