Dear Captains,

The following colleges have been asked to provide exactly 1 umpire for
tomorrow's races.

Meeting at 13:30pm at the Railway Bridge, done for 14:45pm:
Magdalene (Derek O'Brien)
Christs (George Watson)
Downing
Jesus
LMBC
Pembroke
St. Cats (Chris Kerr)
Trinity Hall

Meeting between 14:20 and 14:30, done for 15:45 (see attachment):
Magdalene (Derek O'Brien)
Christs (George Watson)
Caius
Queens
Kings
Peterhouse
First and Third
Clare
Fitz

If there is a name in brackets after your college, then that person has
volunteered to umpire this position.

It is CRUCIAL to the running of the races that all colleges provide marshals
on time for the above slots.  The races quite literally cannot run without
these marshals.  Unfortunately we cannot offer any leeway on this, and if
your college is listed above, you are expected to provide a marshal.  Please
forward the attached documents to whoever will be marshaling, so that they
can see their position and know what they are doing.

Regards,
Derek O'Brien

*The form is designed to satisfy your duties under Safety Regulations 4 and
5 of Section 3 of the Regulations for Captains and Water Safety Officers
(attached).  The form should be completed by the club?s Safety Officer and
returned to the CUCBC Safety Advisor (Adam Lister, al446 at cam.ac.uk) before
the end of Week 4 of Michaelmas Term (Rule 5(a) of Section 3 bans river use
by clubs failing to do so.)*

TO ALL CAPTAINS, Members and Coaches. including Lower Boat Captains:
To ALL BOATMEN:

Monday 2nd November 2009

Our Chairman, Pete Convey, has received the quoted email below (and it is
the second from Mr Eva):

QUOTE:

*Sent:* Monday, 2 November, 2009 8:50:35
*Subject:* Inconsiderate Cycling by Boat Club Coaches

Dear Dr Convey,

You will recall that I wrote to you on 15th October 2009 regarding the
problems being caused by boat club coaches as they cycle along the pavement
between the Elizabeth Way Bridge and Stourbridge Common.  At that time I
wrote, "You must surely be aware that pedestrians and joggers having to
suddenly jump into the road to avoid a collision with a boat club coach
could potentially lead to a very dangerous incident.  This is particularly
the case at this time of year when lighting is dull and weather conditions
can inhibit clear vision.  Has this been taken into account when compiling a
risk assessment of college rowing?"

I am not sure what action - if any - you took as a result of my email, but I
regret to inform you that several weeks later there has been no noticeable
improvement and the action of college boat club coaches continues to present
both an inconvenience and potential danger to residents of the area.
I trust that on this occasion you will will see fit to take some action that
will stop the selfish and dangerous cycling by college boat club coaches.

Yours sincerely,

Anthony N Eva

UNQUOTE

We all appreciate that Coaches need to keep up with their crews,
particularly along that dangerous and narrow stretch of river leading from
Elizabeth Way Bridge to Stourbridge Common cattle grid, where visibility
into the river over the railings is not good due to moored craft along the
wall,

BUT we are simply adding to the list of people who are not so sympathetic to
rowing and all that goes with it on the towpath, if coaches cycle along the
railings *on the pavement (which is illegal) *and without due regard to
pedestrians in any event.

"Trade custom and practice over the years" is not a defense to a personal
injury claim for which damages can run to a "lump sum payment" of ?5 million
these days (and "periodic payments" that can additionally run to ?20 million
overall) for a young paraplegic with long life expectancy. Your insurers
will decline to cover you for illegal riding and you may be left with a
"bill for life" to pay. Absolutely not worth contemplating.

*Keep in the road*.

The Highway Code applies. Please observe it.

Coaches full of adrenalin - cool it. Fines and worse will follow.

*Captains*: Please forward this email to ALL your coaches, however senior
they may be. It only takes one....... We all want to keep rowing.

Thank you.

Hi all,

Firstly, results have been published from today's races.  They are on the
CUCBC website.

Sorry that this is sent out in the late evening again.  I will try to get it
earlier for the future.

See my previous e-mail for marshal instructions (please forward these to the
relevant marshal).  It's best if the marshal knows what's going to happen,
rather than us having to explain everything several times.

See the attached document to see when and where your college will need to
provide marshals.  There were a couple of double slots this time, but
they're in the same position, so potentially one person could cover the
whole 2 hour shift.

Derek O'Brien

Captains,

For those racing today...

I hope this doesn't sound too patronising, but... please notice the weather.

If you haven't done so already, please remind your crews to bring enough kit for marshalling. You can expect about 
10mins at the P&E / Railway Bridge area and another 5 - 20mins at the start area, depending on which race you are in.

We have some safety stuff for the races, but this is to cover emergencies only.

Thanks,

Julian

Thanks to everyone for so far providing a straightforward regatta.  Today
will be a very busy day of races, so I hope crews will be able to arrive on
time and be ready to race.

Attached is the Marshals rota for Thursday (tomorrow).  Thanks to several
colleges for having provided umpires, thus forcing us to request fewer
marshals from colleges.  It really is much easier to offer umpires, as then
you effectively choose the days and times you are free!

Message-ID: <641beeae0911041740g1af9ae8bwa07c0090462a9798@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains,

I would firstly like to thank Clare for sending a marshal even though none
was requested of them.

I've attached Friday's marshal rota.

I would like to remind all captains that any margin is sufficient to
determine a winner of the W4+ side-by-side races.  A dead heat will be
declared only in the instance where the finish marshal calls the finish too
close to judge.

Men's races will be called a dead heat if the difference in time recorded
between the 2 finish marshals dropping their arms is less than 1 second.  A
dead heat in the final does not give a re-row.  Both crews will share the
win in the event of a dead heat.

Also, it is possible that races may start ahead of time if we are running
ahead of schedule (though you will of course never have to arrive before
your marshal time).

Regards,
Derek O'Brien

Dear Captains and Contacts,

Results for CUCBC's University Fours Competition are now online.

Congratulations to:
M4+ Division 1 winners: Queens' M1 and Downing M1 who share the win as the

M4- winners: Lady Margaret M1
W4+ Division 1 winners: Downing W1
W4+ Division 2 winners: Christs W2

Thanks to all colleges for providing marshals which we rely on to make each
competition work.  It may be worth noting for the future that the more
umpires you volunteer in advance, the fewer you will need to ask of you (and
you get to tell us when you are free).

Thanks to each college for being cooperative and understanding throughout
the competition despite set-backs and delays.

Common and even Grassy Corner, where there are now moored vessels.

Start of Fairbairns shots may be convincing for the Jesus Lock stretch
downstream.

Could you very kindly have a look amongst your archives. A photocopy is all
we need. If you could date any photographs that you find, that would be very
helpful

The mooring issue is under discussion. I need your help!

Many thanks,

Dear Captains,


Please could you forward this to your Women's squads if they have not 
already seen it, Thank you.

                                    ******

     Cambridge University Women's Boat Club is holding an informal trial 
session on November 9th, 4pm, at Goldie Boat House.

   This is a relaxed erg session where we take a look at your stroke on the 
ergo and you get a chance to meet us, the coaches and the other triallists, 
and get an idea of whether you think University rowing might be something 
you are interested in now or in the future.

Potential Heavyweights, lightweights and coxes are all welcome. We're not 
looking for ready-made rowers, we're looking for talented and keen 
individuals who enjoy rowing and would like to take it to the next level.

Please contact Sarah Allen (president at cuwbc.org) or Edwina Surtees 
(lightweight-captain at cuwbc.org) if you have any questions.

We look forward to meeting you,

Sarah and Edwina

dear all

given thick fog is forming just outside Cambridge where I live, and the latest forecast, I'd suggest there is a high chance of at least a yellow flag if not red tomorrow morning, so check before heading to the boathouse and, whatever flag status is in force, apply common sense with any crews that are permitted.

Message-ID: <641beeae0911141017g354d6aack9b568a37a2279e5@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains, Contacts, and Coxes,

This is notification that the early morning 2 boat rule (rule 8 of
Restrictions on Use of the river, below) is coming into effect beginning
Monday, 16th November until further notice.  This is due to the high amount
of traffic that the Cam has seen in the past week.  Please see below for a
copy of this rule.

8 a) That the CUCBC Executive Committee shall introduce restrictions on the
number of boats that may be on the water *between Lighting Down and
0830hrs*on Mondays to Fridays in Full Michaelmas and Lent Terms as
necessary. These
restrictions will be enforced by the Early Morning Marshals.

8 b) That on the date from which restrictions are introduced until further
notice, each College Club will only be permitted to have* two boats on the
river at any one time in the restricted period.*

8 c) That this rule will apply to IVs and VIIIs but not to singles, pairs or
tubs and will only apply during the hours stated above.

8 d) That fines for a breach of this rule will accrue to the Club, rather
than the crew concerned and that any Club in breach of this rule will be
fined ?50 for a first offence, ?100 for a second offence, a training ban of
one week for the whole Club for a third offence and disqualification from
all events organised or insured by CUCBC (including the Lent Bumping Races)
in that Term for any subsequent offence.

8 e) That the normal appeal procedures will apply to penalties incurred as a
result of breaching these rules.

Regards,
Derek O'Brien

Dear Captains,

this is a reminder that the entries for CNR 2009 close at midnight tomorrow 
(Saturday 14th). If you wish to enter boats after this time, they will be 
subjected to the increased entry fee of ?50 and at the organisers' discretion. 

I appreciate that we've had some minor problems with the login details for the 
online entry  system, but I believe that these have all been ironed out. If 
anyone is still experiencing any issues, I'm more than happy to help out.

There are still a few colleges who haven't entered any boats this year, and 
it'd be a shame not to see you all on the river!

Thanks

Message-ID: <A143185E-80FF-4FA6-BF13-C536DF6FDD5E@cucbc.org>

Just a few reminders (especially for novice coxes) now the river is getting busier, particularly on weekend afternoons where crews will be setting out as others are returning from outings.

1) Generally, you should KEEP TO YOUR OWN SIDE (i.e. the cox's right, except after the crossing point), unless you are overtaking (obviously only overtake when it is safe to do so and nothing is coming the other way).

2) Where the river is narrow and two crews cannot row past each other in opposite directions (or if one crew is too far out in the middle of the river), CREWS ROWING DOWNSTREAM SHOULD GIVE WAY TO THOSE ROWING UPSTREAM. This may mean pulling your blades in.

This is particularly important in the run up to the term's racing in a few weeks now crews will want to be practicing race pieces. Obviously practicing a piece does not give you a licence to plow through any traffic that may be on the river - you will still need to stop if it is not safe for you to continue.

Above all...USE YOUR COMMON SENSE and THINK if it is SAFE to continue.

All the best for the upcoming races!

Message-ID: <641beeae0911180459n7f987698h56ce52efca13a5e7@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Coxes and Captains,

There are extreme winds on the cam at the moment, and forecast for tomorrow
as well.  If your crew is permitted to boat under the current flag colour,
then please remember that it is each crew's decision whether or not that
crew should be on the water.  The flag colours are rough guidelines which
generalise the standard of crews, but each crew individually knows best
whether an outing in those conditions would be productive.  Please take this
into account when deciding whether or not it is appropriate to boat.  Only
very experienced coxes should boat in this kind of wind (excess of 50 mph at
times).  It is worth asking yourself whether an outing in this kind of wind
(highly likely to be less productive) is worth the potential risk it poses
to your crew and equipment.

Coxes, please bear in mind that the final decision to boat lies with you.
If you do not feel confident that you can steer a boat in these conditions,
then the outing should not go ahead.

Regards,
Derek O'Brien

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] some common sense and a warning
Message-ID: <515112.79357.qm@web86402.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

Dear all

I'm sure everyone is aware that the river is now getting busier, as we get both shorter daylight hours and this term's novices get further in their outings.

On the river, this has led to a number of incidents over the last few days. Some of these inevitably have been in the 'grey' area where both crews involved can be seen to be partially at fault, others are more clearly the responsibility of one of the crews involved, and these are being dealt with individually. However, what is clear from most if not all of these incidents is that they involve an element of lack of suitable awareness or forethought from both the crews and coaches involved, combined with the temptation or desire to 'push the limits' a bit in order to get on a bit quicker.

In reality, this is a failure to take responsibility for these crews' actions - arguably coxes and coaches are in the best position to recognise and avoid these incidents before they happen, but the entire crew also contributes to this through their own attitude to safety. It is very easy to ignore such incidents as 'an inevitable consequence of a busy river', but I am afraid that this misses a fundamental point. If this lack of awareness and responsibility continues amongst coxes, coaches and crews, then it is inevitable that a major accident rather than a minor obstruction will occur. The direct consequences of this in terms of potential injury and long-term impact on individuals are serious enough, as are the implications of large insurance claims against clubs (or even individuals if club policies are found wanting), while this is yet another area where failure to control actions at the club, crew and individual level has the potential to lead to
 very restrictive action from other local authorities (e.g. Conservancy).

Separately, there have also been a number of incidents in recent days involving coaches and members of the public on the towpath. Again, some of these have no clear fault and have been dealt with by appropriate attitudes and actions at the time. Others have been more serious and are again being dealt with individually under our rules or by other authorities. Again, I cannot emphasise too strongly the potentially serious wider consequences of one stupid or arrogant act by an individual coach, and that clubs are responsible for the behaviour of their coaches.

Thus, this e-mail is (another) plea for the application of common sense and consideration. When we are made aware of individual incidents, along with supporting evidence, we will deal with these within our rules. But it is far more sensible to avoid them in the first place, and to do that, each club, its officers, members, coaches etc must recognise the importance of these issues and take responsibility for being in control of their own actions - this has to happen within your club, it is not something that CUCBC can do for you!

Thanks
Pete

Only a couple of changes in the 3rd and 4th divisions.
We've now got 64 boats and so I can't accept anymore entries.
Early bribes for stressed out race organisers will be heavily rewarded.

Dear All,

Final few points, please please read them all:

We've set up a twitter feed so we can update it tomorrow, especially 
about possible cancellations due to weather.  Look at 
twitter.com/emmasprints09
The forecast is looking very windy in which case we may have to call off 
the regatta, so check the feed before boating.  Also please ensure that 
everyone is dressed appropriately (both warmly and fancily).

Please make sure the coxes especially are aware of how to cope with the 
wind, and that everyone is careful when marshalling and spinning.  At 
all times listen to the marshalls.  Especially at the starts, it is the 
marshalls (not the coxes or bankparties) who are in charge of directing 
crews, lining them up, and starting them as quickly as possible.

Also please be especially careful when spinning to race back in plough 
reach.  Please do nothing to offend RUMBLE and take a lot of care when 
spinning and rowing nearby.  Be polite and don't rise to any bait.

Above all, remember the spirit of the event is FUN.  Don't blow small 
things out of proportion.  All the marshalls will be under a lot of 
pressure to be as fair as possible and to get through a lot of races in 
not very much time.  Please be as helpful as possible, and don't forget 
that chocolate always helps make your point more persuasive.

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow, and please be prompt for 
marshalling!
Adam

Extremely sorry, but we've had to cancel emma sprints due to dangerous 
weather conditions.
I am gutted to have to do this (not least because the regatta was 
actually running well and ahead of schedule), but it got to the point 
where it was far too windy for races, marshalling and spinning to happen 
safely.  There were several crashes into crews and banks, and the risk 
of a serious accident was too high to continue.

We will not cash the cheques for boats in divisions 2, 3 and 4.

Cocktails is still on tonight in Emma, Upper Hall at 8pm.  There will be 
tickets available on the door.  Unlimited cocktails and entry into a 
prize charity raffle.

Dear Captains,
I have already emailed all LBCs individually, but in case this hasn't got 
through to anyone, I need to point out a typo that we made on the timetable we 
handed out on sunday evening:

Division 2 on Thursday is marshalling at 14:10 and racing at 14:50 and NOT 
marshalling at 15:00 as it said on the timetable: this affects everyone in the 
women's plate competition. 

The information on our website is now all correct.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Dangerous Coxing Complains
Message-ID: <641beeae0911291127j186ea1dej8a848128b5bf7eb3@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains, Contacts, and Coxes,

Please ensure that this message reaches the appropriate members of your
club.

There have been several incidents and reports in the past weeks involving
dangerous coxing on the part of college crews.  I must emphasise the
importance of both the CUCBC regulations and common sense on the part of
coxes and coaches.  The result of a collision can be very serious, and very
easily result in several people becoming severely injured and requiring
hospitalisation, not to mention the damage to the boats this can cause.

The relevant rules from the "Rules of the River" handbook state:
*Rule 18*: That if there be any danger of collision, the boat going
downstream give way to the boat coming upstream.
*Rule 20*: That no boat has any rights of way when on the wrong side of the
river.
More rules for rights of way can be found here: <
http://www.cucbc.org/handbook/rules/rights_of_way>

In particular, if you are travelling downstream and wish to overtake a
slower crew, you must wait until you are absolutely sure no other boats are
coming in the opposite direction.  This can be seen if you are travelling on
a long straight section of the river, or by using a bank party to ensure the
way is clear.  It is *not acceptable* to force a crew heading upstream to
easy and allow you to overtake a slower crew.  This kind of action should
certainly not become a consistent problem on the river, as it seems to be
doing at the moment.  If you are at all unsure about the safety of the
overtake, and whether or not another crew is coming in the opposite
direction, then you should not attempt to overtake.  You should never
overtake on a blind corner when you cannot see that it is safe to do so
(Rule 22b).  On top of this, if you are a crew coming upstream, you do not
have a right to overtake another crew coming upstream if it forces you onto
the wrong side of the river while another crew is heading downstream.

There has also been reports of careless overtaking of barges.  This is
particularly important as if there is a collision with a barge, then the
rowers are far more likely to get injured than the barge.  Narrowboats have
much more difficulty changing speed or direction, and so you should take
caution when overtaking them.  An example of an incident which happened
recently:  A college crew heading downstream overtook a barge heading
downstream just below ditton corner (at the crossover point opposite the
plough).  This forced the barge to continue travelling on the wrong side of
the river towards an oncoming crew.  This is careless action on the part of
the overtaking crew, and should be avoided.

Crews travelling with a bank party or coach have no excuse for incidents
like these.  Your bank party should be able to see (or cycle on to see)
crews coming in the opposite direction.  Crews without a bank party or coach
should not attempt to overtake if they cannot see if there are oncoming
crews.  It is important that this kind of behaviour does not become a
regular occurrence on the Cam.

It is important that for the last few days of term these rules are carefully
followed, as the river gets very busy leading up to the Fairbairn Cup Races.

Regards,
Derek O'Brien

Message-ID: <641beeae0911301103k48460761ma87e07645c578b0b@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains,

It is important that crews report any incidents they experience immediately
to CUCBC either by e-mailing cucbc at cucbc.org, or by using the contact form
on the CUCBC website.  Incidents like the one below need to be passed on to
us as soon as possible to avoid similar events happening in the future.  Do
not assume that another crew has sent in a report.  The more reports we
receive of an incident, the more credible our case is.

I received the following report of an incident with a barge at around 3pm on
Sunday, near Baitsbite lock.  If your crew was involved, or you can give us
any description of the barge (ideally boat reg. number, but not necessarily)
or of the incident, then please contact me as soon as possible with details.

Incedent Report:
"A Wolfson VIII was spinning and I think it was a Caius IV+ sat waiting for
them to finish.  A barge drove at full speed from the lock with considerable
wash at the spinning VIII and stationary IV+ (which had nowhere to go),
continually blasting its horn.  At the point when the barge made itself
known the VIII was virtually halfway through spinning, and had no option but
to continue.  The VIII only just managed to complete it's turn and get out
of the way."

Derek O'Brien
