Dear Rowing Friends ~ As of 1 January 2025, HTBS will no longer use Twitter to post links to our articles. We will instead use Instagram, Threads and Bluesky. We hope to see you on these social media platforms in 2025.

Tomorrow, 31 December 2024, will be the last day HTBS post links to articles on Twitter. We hope you will follow us on Instagram and Bluesky in 2025.
On HTBS: Chris Dodd remembers Penny Chuter, who died on 16 Nov. 2024, age 82. Women's rowing has undergone humongous growth in schools, universities, clubs, competitions and world-wide participation - much of this transformation rests on the oars of Penny. heartheboatsing.com/2024/12/…

On HTBS: As has been noted before, on 1 January 2025, HTBS will “abandon” X. Instead, HTBS will use Instagram, Threads and Bluesky. However, the HTBS account will not be deleted on Twitter - but not be active, then avoiding any fake HTBS accounts. heartheboatsing.com/2024/12/…
