With the help of our food suppliers, we thought the rowing community would like to know that not everything went to waste this morning, with food being donated to a homeless shelter in Hammersmith 🥓🥪

Crews should note that as there is no magic litter fairy, they are required to collect all their rubbish and put it in a bin or, if there isn't one that has space, TAKE IT HOME. Instructions of Officials must be followed in this regard.
