I hope you have had a good vacation and are all set for the Lent term. We are now taking entries for the Lents. You need to enter your crews using the online CREWS system via the CUCBC website, BUT YOU MUST ALSO ENTER DETAILS ON BUMPS PROGRAMME WEBSITE. The site ishttp://www.thebumps.co.uk/crewlistsand the deadline for entries on both systems is FRIDAY 1 FEBRUARY. The entry fee is ?30 per crew and no entry will be confirmed until payment has been received. Cheques should be payable to CUCBC and sent to me at King's.. You can also pre-order Bumps programmes for your crew at discounted rates. Programmes retail at ?2.50. Clubs that order these before 8 February will be able to purchase them at a rate of ?1.75 per copy (a discount of 30%). It is then up to you if you sell them on to your rowers at the discounted rate, or at the retail price of ?2.50, making 75p per copy sold for boat club funds. Orders for programmes, and cheques to cover the cost of them, should be sent to me. Programmes are normally available for delivery the weekend before Bumps.

The deal is simple; any male College rower who has the talent and the desire to trial for CUBC in the future is welcome to join us for 2 training sessions per week. The squad members must stay training with their College crews and must race in the Lents. We will provide some extra training and coaching to help your best people get a little better! Selection is easy, if you think one or more of your boys would benefit, send them along. The squad will train from 18:00 to 19:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays starting this Thursday, the 17th, at the Goldie. The training will be on the ergo and the coaching will be by Grant Craies the CUBC Development Coach and by other members of the CUBC coaching team. If sufficient athletes are available, and of a sufficient standard we will put a crew together for a race early in the Easter Vacation. Enquiries to Grant or me. Duncan. (D.J.

Would they be keen to do around 4 outings a week and a land training or two? If so, they would be allowed to row for us! They will get coaching and a terms rowing with us, a guaranteed place in bumps, and they can return to you next term. I also possibly have a spare cox to offer. He noviced last term and is keen to carry on, but unfortunately we don't have room for him. Let me know if you are in need. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can help.

Hi all, It's a swiftly diminishing six weeks to Lent Bumps (Tue 26 Feb - Sat 1 Mar) and as ever, it relies on your help and presence in order for it to run smoothly! It would be great if as many of you folk out there as possible volunteer to be Junior & Senior Umpires (JUs & SUs). If you're a first-timer, this mostly involves wearing a shiny yellow bib, cycling up and down the tow path following the divisions and keeping an eye on things to ensure it stays safe and seamless. So, if you have rowed or coxed in at least one set of bumps and would be interested in umpiring, please send me an e-mail with your name and college, availability and say whether or not you've umpired before. Obviously the more slots you can do the better, but I'm aware that many people are busy around Lents, so even if you can only manage a couple of divisions then *please* do! A large number of the umpires also row/cox themselves and work the umpiring around it. Lents is a great opportunity to learn for those who may want to SU in future and haven't umpired before to get some experience - and it's also good fun. No, really. As well as getting a lovely free meal and drink at the end of it all, you will also reduce the number of marshall slots your college will have to provide. Winner. The division times are given at: http://www.cucbc.org/node/821 Ideally you'll want to be reporting to the control desk by the Penny Ferry 30 minutes before your divisions start so you can collect equipment from the umpires of the previous division, ask questions, cycle down to the start, ponce around etc, so factor this in when deciding for which divisions you will be available. We'll have a short meeting for all umpires just before the Lents so everyone knows in advance and in detail what they will be doing. Looking forward to the plethora of replies...

For the avoidance of doubt, there is now an indicator on the website, just below the flag, to tell you that it's not in operation. Hopefully it's going to stay that way. As far as I know there will be no one way system in the Lent term. If for any reason (I can't think of one) it needs to be introduced, we will let you know, by email and by advertising it on the website. If you hear nothing, there is no one way system - you can do what you like (within reason...). 1a) We've also added an indicator for weekend rowing rules, so that there's no doubt over when you can row at weekends. 2) Please stop making up rules. This is a new and very special problem.... I have absolutely no idea why you would want to invent for yourself any more rules than we already have. If you want more rules, I'm sure the Captains will make you some more, but at least tell the rest of us and give us a chance before attempting to enforce them.... Colourful new "additions" to the handbook I've heard of this week include: a) One way system to Ditton! (did you not hate the Michaelmas term one enough!??!). b) Only spinning between imaginary posts somewhere on the course (again, if you'd like to tell the rest of us where they are....) c) UFOs allowed to enter the Lent bumps Seriously - the handbook is a big document, but the rules themselves are a tiny tiny section (the rest is all constitutions, regs for races, maps etc)....please read them, the vast majority of them are obvious. It's available on the website. 3) Although you can row up and down as you like, you still have to: a) Row on the correct side of the river b) Make a decent attempt to pull into the bank if you stop for coaching/kit removal/re-invention of the wheel etc. c) Behave safely, including not spinning in front of oncoming crews - top marks to Pembroke for attempting to take out your ex-captain rowing in another crew - please stop! d) Use lights if appropriate....whichever college you're from! e) Not boat early....see above. Questions, comments, offers to buy me a Ferrari, hit reply. Sutcliffe -- CUBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

May I remind you that the fine for not providing a marshal is ?25 for a first offence, rising to ?50 for a second offence; I'm sure you have better things to do with this money! What is more, the marshals have an important job to do in ensuring that early morning rowing can continue, so they work for everyone's benefit. This week there should be marshals from LMBC and SIdney, 1st and 3rd and Pembroke, Caius and Queens. Emma and Girton and Downing and Newnham. PLEASE check Appendix E of the handbook and ensure you send someone. There are clear instructions as to what they have to do round the back of Goldie in the folders on the pigeonholes. I know it's wet and cold, but at least it's not early yet... Ellie Goodfield CUWBC hon sec -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A few points though - please make sure relevant coaches etc know about them. 1. lights must be white, constant, visible and, crucially, switched on! If you discover the batteries have gone just before lighting down then you'll just have to wait another 15 minutes or run and get some batteries. 2. the residents along the Cam do not all set their alarm clocks for 7.25 so as to be fully awake when you all start screaming at7.30. It is an arbitrary cut off before which you should be very quiet, and coaches silent, and after which you should be sensitive to the fact that many of the boats and houses are very close to you! We do NOT want to lose morning rowing. 3. Several boats attempted to spin at the bottom of the reach, virtually on Ditton corner. PLEASE bear in mind that there is currently more stream than we're used to, and make sure you're nowhere near the corner when you start to spin as it is dangerous and causes carnage. Speak to your coxes about this! 4. If there are crews wishing to overtake you on the reach please pull over close to the bank; you do not need to be in the middle of the river. Overtaking crews, if there is not space to overtake, even if it's because the crew ahead won't move over, just don't try it. Again, extremely dangerous. That's all. Hope you enjoyed the lack of wind this morning! Ellie CUWBC hon sec -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is clearly unacceptably dangerous, and should not be allowed to happen. As a result Pippa has asked that crews do not spin any further downstream than the covered boat docks about 150 metres from the lock, and we can regard that as a requirement of the Conservancy. I would also remind all concerned of the existing rules that novice eights should not be allowed on the river in red or yellow flag conditions, and that novice crews should not have novice coxes. I will also be initiating discussions about spinning below the Little Bridge. The problem is that crews spinning upstream of and close to another boat block the river, and this will increase the chance of the downstream boats drifting onto the boom because they cannot move. My advice pending discussions is that in crowded conditions, say, 10 boats or more below the little bridge, boats should spin in succession at the boat dock, and that having spun they should move upstream away from the spinning area. As always, common sense and courtesy should be enough. If the account is accurate, we have had near miss. If we had not been lucky and we had had a serious accident, the consequences for all of us would have been severe and nasty.

Kirk) Date: 26 Jan 2008 12:01:21 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Trailering to Bedford Message-ID: Dear all, Peterhouse are looking for a trailer space for one VIII to Bedford Head. If you have a space please contact me. Thanks, Simon -- Men's Officer, Peterhouse Boat Club From seniortreasurer at cucbc.org Sat Jan 26 16:33:36 2008 From: seniortreasurer at cucbc.org (Ian Thompson) Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:33:36 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] New Flag Rules and Early Morning Traffic Flow Message-ID: Dear All, You voted for a change in the 'Yellow Flag' rule at the last Captains' meeting and asked Pete and me to formulate the new rule. We've done this and so, with immediate effect, Rule 13b and 13c in the 2007-8 Handbook should be replaced with the following: 13b That only University crews with the specific permission of one of their senior coaches may row when both the Red and Yellow Flags are flown at Goldie Boathouse. 13c That only University crews, first boats and boats in the first two divisions of the May Bumps (Men) or first boats and boats in the first division of the May Bumps (Women), first fours, or tub pairs be allowed on the water when a Yellow Flag is flown at Goldie Boathouse. In the case of tub pairs, Rule 17 applies and, in addition, the person steering must be competent and experienced. Under Yellow Flag conditions, members of crews permitted to boat under these regulations may do so in small boats, provided that they have the express permission of their Club Captain and/or Boatman and subject to the conditions outlined in Rule 18. This will be posted on the website later today. We also discussed keeping traffic moving in the mornings this term. The 'roving CUCBC Marshal' is now out and about each day, but reports indicate that a number of coaches. coxes and crews seem to be unaware that: 1. When a crew stops for a coaching chat (which should be avoided other than in the Reach or Lock, it must pull right into the bank, with blades in, so as not to impede other crews. 2. When spinning, crews should do so as quickly as possible, avoiding spinning on the corners at Ditton and Little Bridge. Once a crew has spun, it should immediately either row on or row into the bank and park as above. Much of the congestion on the river is caused by crews sitting off the bank whilst their coach talks them through what has been or is about to be done, or either spinning inconsiderately or 'blocking' the spinning point by not moving on. Please make sure that your coxes, crews and coaches are fully aware of these points as fines (and pretty hefty ones) will be imposed on any crew disregarding them. Please also take not of Tom's e-mail about spinning well away from the lock itself in Baits Bite whilst the stream is as strong as it has been recently.

Marshalling times given are the times you are required to be at the P&E. Marshals will instruct you from there. W1 will obviously not need to marshal there but will need to be at the start line enough in advance of the race start time to ensure everything runs on time. The order is roughly based on bumps charts. Race Numbers will be available from Jesus Boat House from 11:30am onwards on the day of the race, Saturday 2nd February. Any questions or queries please don't hesitate to email me. Thank you. Shanae ?

The whole point of our policies and rules is to try to ensure that what time we all get on the water is as productive as possible - especially in the early mornings - and that the Cam is a safe place to row. Neither of these will be the case if people consistently ignore the very basic rules of the river - most of which are common sense! SO please make sure that your crews, all your coxes AND all your coaches are reminded yet again that: BETWEEN THE P&E AND THE LOCK THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY: Only continuous rowing all VIII unless unsafe to do so or practising a standing start. Standing starts are only permissible when they will not obstruct other crews. No stopping except at Ditton to spin. Spin near post at bottom of Reach. Do not spin elsewhere on the Reach because you can't be bothered to wait your turn and row up to the spinning point. Doing so cause a tale back of traffic all the way into the Plough, blocks the crossing point and then presents potential danger to other crews and craft. If you are doing a piece moving upstream and see a queue at Ditton corner DO NOT row through it and overtake on the bend. Join it and wait - it will undoubtedly have been caused by carnage ahead and you will just add to it by ploughing into it Once you have spun, at Ditton or in the Lock, move off quickly and, if you are going to have coaching chat, pull right into the bank (which means parked with blades in) and, if doing technical exercises in the Lock, stay as close to the bank as possible and make sure you are not blocking other crews who want to row on. Remember always that crews rowing upstream (ie BACK to the boathouses) have the right of way over crews rowind downstream (ie towards the Lock) - especially at the crossing points. Most of this is concisely spelt out in the Code of Practice for Coaches (Appendix I in the Handbook) which should have gone to all coaches yet, yesterday, I saw everyone of the above being ignored and Sidney, Queens', Newnham, Magdalene, Girton, Pembroke, Downing, Robinson, Darwin and St Edmund's should consider themselves very lucky that fines are not being imposed this time. All clubs should note that we are very serious indeed about bringing an end to these bad habits. The wondering marshals will be imposing fines for all breaches from now, and persitent offenders may incur training and/or race bans - including disqualification from Lents.

Just to make sure there is no doubt, the Code simply contains things which are already stated elsewhere in the Rules. In some cases it amplifies the Rule for clarification but, in the main, it just gathers together in one simple document what the rule say - so the short answer is 'Yes.'

The rain and high winds (gusts of 50mph+) are predicted to last throughout the afternoon, dropping to 30mph by the end of today. The forecast for tomorrow is similar with gusts of between 35 and 45mph predicted between 0600 and 1800. It is likely therefore that there will be a Yellow Flag, at the very least, throughout the day. Wind speeds are set to drop significantly over night on Friday and so it is hoped that Newnham short course will go ahead as planned. Please check the web page for flag status as it may not be possible/sensible for us to fly a physical flag from Goldie in high winds. We will ensure that the web is kept updated as weather conditions change.
