[CUCBC Captains] Lower Boats' Captains' Course - Monday 5th October

[H. Hedgeland]

Dear all,

Next term's LBCs' course will be held on Monday 5th October from 1.30-5pm 
in the Auditorium at Robinson College. Please could you forward this to 
your incoming LBCs so they have plenty of time to get the date in their 
diaries.

All LBCs are expected to attend the course. The session has been 
extensively revised this year and will cover safety, equipment and 
coaching. A register will be taken at the course since it is important that 
everyone who will be coaching lower boats is aware of their 
responsibilities and liabilities.

In addition to LBCs, the course is appropriate for others who will be 
coaching next year. I remind you that the CUCBC handbook specifies:

"That coaches for college crews and for scullers have undergone at least 
the minimum training, which is attendance at the CUCBC course at the 
beginning of the Michaelmas term, and later when required (from September 
2007), and that they are members of the ARA or otherwise insured."

Please could you ensure that the relevant people are made aware of the 
course since it is of the highest importance that they attend.

Best wishes,

Holly Hedgeland

CUCBC Senior Committee
