I believe it is one of a nesting pair that has developed a bad temper. Bill, did you mention this at the City Moorings Meeting on Wednesday 1 April? Liz Sheehan (narrowboat 'Rosie') called into the office on Friday afternoon and said that one of the swans near the Plough had taken on an attitude. Presumably it's the same one.

Marron [mailto:am543 at hermes.cam.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Alan Marron Sent: 03 April 2009 21:20 To: river.manager at camconservators.org.uk Subject: Dangerous Swan Hello The swan on Plough Reach has become very dangerous. This evening just before 8:00 it flew around Ditton Corner to attack me in my single, causing me to capsize. The swan could not see me when it took off and I was moving away from Ditton, and it landed on my rigger and attacked me with its beak. I was in the middle of the river, away from any banks or reeds so I could not have been threatening any nest. If the swan continues to be this aggressive, especially with more juniors on the river at the weekends, then there will be more cases like mine and there may be injuries.

The draw and timetable are now online at http://www.cucbc.org/sbr/ . I have done my utmost to accommodate the vast majority of requests for the timetable (especially regarding boat-sharing and doubling-up), so I hope this works; there is very little scope for any changes. If you are racing in the Peter Brandt or Maiden Sculls and make it to Wednesday then please be prepared to be flexible with timings as we may have some boat-sharing issues that day, depending on who wins: I'll keep you updated. Please check the timetable carefully for your race and marshalling times. If marshalling at the Railway Bridge, please marshal on the towpath side upstream of the bridge, and watch out for crews that are completing their races. A general programme of racing can also be found at http://www.cucbc.org/node/265 for interest/ease of printing. River closures can also be found on the CUCBC homepage. Please encourage people in your clubs to offer to umpire on any of the days (just email me) - otherwise I will have to request a lot of marshals from your clubs in order to run the races.

Any member of a college Mens boat club is eligible (you don't have to be male), although you must be in statu pupillare. As with the other Hon Sec jobs, there are two parts - CUCBC and CUBC. CUCBC activities involve the day to day running of college rowing in Cambridge and organising the major CUCBC events (Bumps, Uni 4s, SBR). CUBC activities are at the discretion of the President, but you won't be short of things to do. You should be available for as much of the week leading up to the boat race 2010 as possible. I was very involved with the squad this year so there's a long list of jobs for next year and the expectation that the next Hon Sec will be very much involved again. If anyone would like some more information, or to run for the position, please drop me an email over the next couple of days. The date of the election is not yet decided - it may be combined with the Presidential election, but will depend on the number of people running for President and on the number of people running for Hon Sec. I absolutely love the role and if it wasn't for increasing academic commitments would definitely be running again. Being involved with CUBC was a huge privilege and I've gained much more from it than I've given in time and energy.

Are you tall and strong? The GB rowing talent identification programme World Class Start is holding a testing session in Cambridge, at Homerton College, on Wednesday 29th April 1-3pm. Please see attached poster for more information. This is an amazing opportunity and I would encourage as many of you as possible to attend. Tests will not take long, they consist of a maximum strength arm/legs test on the concept 2 dyno, and a static bike test. We will also measure (height/armspan/weight) all athletes. The tests measure raw potential so no rowing experience is required. Please spread the word though your college and boat club. This is not only for rowers, it could also help encourage non-rowers to take up college rowing next term, if they do well in the tests. For those of you worried about CUBC Henley 2k trials, 6pm that evening I believe, it will still be valuable for you to turn up and get measured and do the dyno tests. If necessary, the bike test can be done at a later stage. Feel free to distribute the poster around your college, and get in contact with me if you'd like any further information.

Tomorrow's marshals are Pembroke, Trinity Hall, Caius (8.30am-10.45am); Fitzwilliam, First and Third, Caius (10.30am-12.30pm). Otherwise we risk quite substantial delays to racing.

Please make sure that you are familiar with the air signals which are given below. Note that the movements are indicating what she will do, so if you are heading towards her in the opposite direction, then the direction you will see will be different. One blast: I am altering my course to STARBOARD (RIGHT) Two blasts: I am altering my course to PORT (LEFT) Three blasts: My engines are going ASTERN (BACKWARDS), NB. the vessel may still be moving forwards due to momentum until reverse propulsion takes effect. Four blasts followed by one blast: I am turning around with my bow swinging to STARBOARD (RIGHT) Four blasts followed by two blasts: I am turning around with my bow swinging to PORT (LEFT) Five blasts: Your intentions are not clear A blast means a short blast on the ship's whistle of about 1 second duration. Georgina or any other vessel rounding an obscured bend, say at Ditton Bends, may sound a prolonged blast (4-6 seconds) to indicate her presence. If you are at all uncertain, please get in touch as soon as possible. Yours, Mark Stringer CUCBC Coxing Rep. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That, unless otherwise announced by the Executive Committee, no college rowing be allowed on the Cam before 11 a.m. on any Saturday or Sunday during each Full Term, save for a recognised Cambridge Rowing Association (CRA), ARA or CUCBC race, and that any infringement of this rule will result in every member of the crew concerned being disqualified from training and all CUCBC races during that term. b. That University crews shall keep their use of the Cam on Saturdays and Sundays before 11 a.m. to a minimum, and inform the CRA prior to all such use. " When access to the river on the Sunday is substantially restricted, the Executive Committee will generally announce that rowing all day on the Saturday will be permitted.

Saturday 23rd May Twickenham Regatta is raced over 1,250m from a stakeboat start and provides an ideal opportunity for crews, both lightweight and heavyweight, to gain excellent high intensity speed work, as well as excellent two-abreast racing preparation. Located on the outskirts of London, on London?s most beautiful stretch of the Thames, Twickenham Regatta is within easy distance of Cambridge. The high quality racing experience and the proximity to Cambridge have made Twickenham Regatta a popular event in the rowing calendar for college crews, with winning crews coming from Newnham College and Downing College in recent years. For more information please see the attached regatta poster, visit www.twickenham-regatta.org or contact the Regatta Secretary (regatta at twickenhamrc.net). Entries should be made via the ARA online portal. Twickenham Regatta has a long history of tradition that is still maintained today. A free enclosure will be open to spectators and competitors overlooking the finish line providing: Live music from the Richmond Youth Jazz Ensemble Kit stall BBQ Sandwiches and cakes Tea and coffee Pimms bar Real ale bar Race commentary Picnic area Prize giving And much more... We look forward to welcoming you and your crews at Twickenham Regatta on Saturday 23rd May. www.twickenham-regatta.org _________________________________________________________________ View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place ?

This is an important position that needs to be filled to help with both CUWBC and CUCBC. If there's anyone in your clubs who you think could be suitable, please do put them in touch with me, before we hold a second election in the near future. Women's Captains, you are still entitled to attend the CUWBC elections on Sunday but you will not get a vote as there is no Hon Secretary election.

The deadline for nominations is midnight on Tuesday the 5th of May, and if an election is required then it will take place on Sunday the 10th of May. Candidates must be a member of a college boat club and in statu pupillari for the next academic year. Nominations should be sent to me - candidates must be nominated and seconded by eligible CULRC members - if you don't know anyone that can nominate you then please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. If you are thinking about running then you are strongly encouraged to get in contact with myself (grb37), Alistair Chappelle (anc38), our next president, or Christopher Kerr (cjk34), our outgoing Hon Sec, to discuss the position and ask us any questions that you might have. A quick description of what the job entails from Chris: Within the CULRC, the hon sec's primary function is like a Junior Treasurer: ordering rowing kit etc. and collecting payment from the squad. Your duties for the CUCBC are more varied but can be summarised as keeping the peace on the river (setting the flag, dealing with complaints, issuing fines etc.) and helping to run CUCBC events (umpiring, marshalling, and organising the logistics).

Saturday 9th May: closed below Chesterton between 10.30 and 14.15 for Head to Head. Sunday 10th May: entire river closed until approximately 19.00 for City Sprints Regatta. Due to the almost full-day river closure on Sunday 10th May, college crews will be allowed to row all day (apart from the closure for Head to Head) on Saturday 9th May. However, there must be no more than two crews from each club on the water before 08.30 for noise reasons, and you should remember that the noise restrictions before 07.30 are still in force. Saturday morning noise can make local residents very unhappy!
