congratulations to @TidewayScullers on making the final of the Fawley and DJ, a feat only achieved once before, although they missed out on the trophy in both events its' a huge achievement for a club to make both finals. Junior sculling is in rude health on the Tideway #HRR26

Absolutely loving ‘The 8.55 to Baghdad’ by Andrew Eames (@mounteagle). Travel writing at its best and a true time traveler of a book.

Tourism in Germany boomed during 2024 with a record-breaking 496.1m overnight stays, 85.3m of which were by guests from abroad.
And this year is set to be another good year: Germany ranks third in travel intentions to European destinations, behind France & Italy.

@mounteagle I just wanted to say how delightful to read your wonderful book The 8.55 to Baghdad. I’m very excited about my trip to Iraq later this month. Bought it yesterday & have been reading non-stop. Love the wit, the descriptions, the nostalgia & the history. So evocative!

This week sees our latest Alec Hodges course on the Tideway this summer. Welcome to this week's scullers!
So far this year we have looked after over 200 adults and juniors on and off the water. A huge team effort! Dates for Adults' October course out soon.
