Further to my message yesterday, the fishing match may continue a
little past 2.15pm.  If you go out after 2.15, please take great care
and preferably don't send novices past the Penny Ferry until it's
clear no fishing is happening.  Please do cooperate with any
instructions you are given.

Thanks and apologies again for the late notice,

Message-ID: <641beeae0811011358u81d5b61wa5e4e004bec20b4e@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

A few reminders are in order before Uni IVs starts on Monday.

   - Make sure you know the start/finish of your race!  I've received a few
   queries so have listed the locations at
   http://www.cucbc.org/node/199 .  The bottom finish of the men's coxed IVs
   will be marked on the day.
   - Check the race timetables and make sure you marshal on time in the
   right place.
   - If your crews have changed from those you've entered, you need to tell
   me!  Most changes will be acceptable but we need to know in case we get
   eligibility complaints.
   - If you need to scratch or make substitutions at the last minute, please
   email me as soon as you know (with names and an explanation).  I will be
   checking my email up to about 11.30am on race days although you may not get
   a response (in which case assume it's probably fine).  Subs MUST be from
   your college and eligible for the competition in which you want them to row.
   - Check the weather forecast and bring appropriate kit.  It's currently
   forecast to be warmer but possibly wet so don't get cold sitting around at
   the start, particularly the light IVs and the last few men's coxed races on
   Monday and Tuesday, who may be waiting a while.
   - Check all boats have bowballs and coxes are wearing lifejackets.
   - Marshals, please turn up on time!

If any men's crews going to the Tideway would like to go over the lock
between divisions on Friday then they should contact me immediately.  This
will not be possible on other days.

Thanks and looking forward to a good week's racing,

Thomas

Dear all,

Results from Day 1 of University Fours are now online.  Please follow
the link to the relevant event from the CUCBC homepage for details.
Thank you to all women's and coxless crews for waiting while we
re-rowed a dead heat from the men's coxed event, and commiserations to
Girton who lost the re-row by just over 2 seconds.

Coxes in the women's event, please ensure that you start well over to
your side of the river and stay on your side off the start - every
single race today moved towards the middle, which is unacceptable.
You must stay on your side for the entirety of the race, winning or
losing.  Crews marshalling at the Penny Ferry tomorrow, please park
either on the towpath side at the Penny Ferry or directly opposite it,
not on the meadow side down towards Chesterton (where we can't
communicate with you!).

See you tomorrow,

Thomas
CUCBC Secretary

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Courtesy and responsible behaviour
Message-ID: <641beeae0811031457h3ff2e73fkc6ffda57736335ad@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I have been disappointed to receive several complaints from members of
the public about crews' and coaches' behaviour over the last week or
so.  Please note the below points and try your hardest not to cause
problems.

Firstly, crews should avoid contact with moored barges as much as is
possible.  They are NOT an extension of the bank, and it is almost
always possible to avoid touching them at all.  If you absolutely have
to push off them, push off very gently with blades touching the black
section just *above* the waterline.  By pushing off you are likely to
scratch and damage the moored boat.  Be particularly careful along
Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and Riverside, as this is where the
majority of incidents occur.  Novice coxes should stop if in danger of
colliding.

Secondly, be civil to members of the public, particularly those living
on boats.  If you unfortunately do have to push off a moored boat and
the owner speaks to you or your coach, apologise and do not, under any
circumstances, be rude to them - I have had reports of this.  Abusive
behaviour carries a ?25 minimum fine under our rules and your college
Senior Tutors will, I am sure, be thoroughly unimpressed with any such
reports.

Thirdly, coaches must be sensible when cycling, keeping eyes on both
the road and the river.  You are reminded that cycling on pavements is
an offence - along Riverside you should cycle on the road.  Please
also be considerate on paths, and try to avoid getting in the way of
joggers and other members of the public.

We must try to promote a positive view of the rowing community and
everyone has a part to play in this.  Please pass on this message to
all coaches.

Thomas

and thanks to all for a good day of racing.

Tomorrow sees the women's quarter-finals and the men's coxless

Dear all,

Results from day 3 of University Fours are now online in the usual
locations.  Thanks to all who made it a good day's racing, and hopefully the
miserable weather won't return tomorrow.

Tomorrow sees the conclusion of the men's competitions.  Crews should note
that the schedule is as follows: we will endeavour to start the coxed
semi-finals promptly, then all winning crews and the coxless finalists will
row to the start immediately.  The coxless final will take place followed by
a break while finish marshals move position; the coxed finals will then take
place as soon as both crews are ready to race, and hopefully no later than
3.20pm.  If any re-rows are required then they will take place before the
coxless final.  Please ensure that crew members bring sufficient kit to keep
them warm between races.

Good luck to all crews competing in semi-finals and finals tomorrow and on
Friday!

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] contact & mornings
Message-ID: <288193.8577.qm@web86403.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

Dear all

please be aware that I will be away from Cambridge with limited e-mail access from tomorrow afternoon (Sat) until next Sunday morning. If there are any messages you would normally send to me that you want to be sure have been seen and dealt with in my absence, please ensure you also send or copy them to the committee or to Ian Thompson in this period.

There are starting to be questions raised about the adoption of the 'two boat' early morning restrictions. For information, certainly until a couple of days ago (latest sheets not analysed), the maximum number of boats out on any morning so far has been 55, ie less than the c. 64 that the 'restriction' would permit. There also appear to have been only 4 or 5 clubs commonly putting out more than two boats on a morning.

I'm pleased (and a bit surprised) we've got this far into term without bringing in restrictions. We will keep the numbers of boats and congestion experienced under review, and will also not bring in the restrictions based on the experience of a single 'bad' morning. It will help delay this if you can try and plan crews to spread their outings in the time available (ie not all dash for home at the same time at 0830), though I appreciate this is not entirely under your control and will become more difficult as lighting down gets later.

Thanks
Pete

Message-ID: <641beeae0811150458g49ac741ofe43845e4d1ac34d@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

The restrictions in rule 8 of the Rules of the River will come into effect
as of (and including) *Tuesday morning* (18th November).  This means that
each college club may have *no more than two boats* on the water at any time
*between lighting down and 8.30am* from Tuesday until further notice or the
end of Full Term.  Singles, pairs or tubs do not count towards the two
allowed boats.

Unfortunately boat numbers have risen substantially over the last few days
and we are now at the level where the committee feels that restrictions are
necessary to avoid severe congestion of the river.  Please note that
breaches of this rule with be heavily punished as laid out in the online
Handbook.

If anyone has any questions about the implementation of this rule or
specific details then please contact myself or the committee as soon as
possible.

Dear Captains,

I would like to let you know that CUCBC will be monitoring the effect
of this rule on an ongoing basis from Tuesday, and particularly after
term finishes.  We will *not* be looking at specific clubs and saying
(for example) "Club X has only been sending out one crew per morning
on average so we should only give them one slot in future" - we
strongly encourage you not to use the early morning period if at all
possible.

The main enforcement of the rule will be by Early Morning Marshals so
please make sure all marshals are competent and not new to rowing in
Cambridge.  Homerton, Queens', Newnham and Pembroke must in particular
make sure their marshals are up-to-date with the rule change for
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings when there will be the most queries.

Thanks,

Thomas

Message-ID: <Prayer.1.3.1.0811191405140.20812@hermes-1.csi.cam.ac.uk>

Dear Captain,

As you are no doubt aware, Clare Novices Regatta will be taking place on
the 27th, 28th and 29th November (Thursday - Saturday). The river will
therefore be *closed to college crews during the regatta* (1400 - lighting
up on Thursday and Friday, and all day Saturday). We realise that this is
disruptive for senior crews wanting to train for Fairbairns, so to reduce
this disruption, we will be allowing a limited number of senior crews to
row through the regatta. If you wish to organise to row throughs for your
club, please contact the Regatta Secretary directly stating:
    => Your club,
    => Which boats row-throughs are required for,
    => What time you wish to row through. (Division times are quoted on
the Clare Boat Club website (www.clareboatclub.org.uk/cnr). Crews rowing
through will be placed at the head of divisions rowing downstream and
should be at the Penny Ferry by *10 minutes after the stated marshaling
time* for competitors.)


Please note the following information:
    => A *maximum of two boats* will be allowed to row through per
division, allocated on a first come, first served basis.
    => It is expected that crews rowing through will be going over
Baitsbite Lock, since the regatta extends from Chesterton Footbridge to
Grassy Corner. In line with CUCBC rules, crews rowing through must be
"university crews, first boats, and any other boats in the top two
divisions of the CUCBC May Bumps only".
    => Any college boat that has not requested to row through will be
asked to turn around.
    => The division times stated on the Clare Boat Club website will
change slightly once all entries are received. Boats who have been
granted permission to row through will be kept informed of any changes.
    => Any boat rowing through the regatta must adhere to any
instructions from Regatta officials. You may be required to wait for a
short period of time, although we will always try to minimise this.
    => If you are late,  your time slot is not transferrable and you
will be asked to turn around.
    => You may return from the lock at any time, but should make
yourself known to marshals in Plough reach.
    => Under no circumstances should you row between Ditton Corner and
the Penny Ferry in either direction without the permission of an official.
    => All requests for row throughs must be received at least 3 days in
advance.

Thank you for your cooperation and good luck to any crews you may have
racing in the Regatta.

Dear all,

Emma Sprints is taking place tomorrow.  The river is closed below
Chesterton all day to non-competing crews unless you have already
arranged a row-through (after midday only) with the organisers.

Please note that the weather forecast is cold and windy, and probably
wet in the morning too.  It will feel very cold indeed, especially
whilst marshalling.  All coxes and coaches MUST make sure their crews
have more than enough kit to stay warm.  If we do not wish crews to
boat for any reason then we will try to change the flag to yellow,
although please do use your common sense and don't boat if your crew
can't handle the conditions.

Obviously we hope everyone has a good day of racing if conditions permit!

Thomas
CUCBC Secretary

Message-ID: <641beeae0811271250w2d5899dbne504d99b9b197de9@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

I have been informed that in the last week and a half, eight bikes
have been stolen from between City and Nines' boathouses. The area is
apparently being targeted and thieves are coming down with equipment.

Please take extra care to lock bikes to something secure at boathouses
and be vigilant, especially with Clare Novices' Regatta at the moment
and Fairbairns next week.  Captains, please pass this message on to
your club members.

Regards,

Thomas
CUCBC Secretary

Can I add that there is a fishing match next Sunday (7th December) and
so the river will be closed below the Penny Ferry until 3pm, so no
rowing below there during that time please.

Thanks,

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Croker Blade
Message-ID: <001301c9533a$6b09e930$411dbb90$@ac.uk>

Hi All,

 

Homerton are currently short a stroke side blade from our Men's power
blades. We have the old type with wooded handles and non adjustable length,
an overall length along the loom to the end of the blade of 4.75m. If you
have or know of someone who may have such a blade that we might be able to
buy then please get in touch, if you have multiple then to get a couple of
spares we would like to get two stroke side and one bow side.

 

We also would like space to keep an old eight for our third eight to use
next term, the boat is not really good enough to warrant paying for rack
space but if you have any outdoor space where we would be able to keep the
boat on blocks then we would be keen to discuss this with you and negotiate
an acceptable rent.

 

Regards

Fred Lord

HCBC Captain
