[CUCBC Captains] Captains' Meeting, 5th Nov

[Derek O'Brien]

Dear all,

Please be reminded of the rules of the river with regard to early morning noise restrictions (extract from handbook 
below). This message has been repeated several times already at captains meetings / Pete's email on Friday - please take 
it on.

This morning some local residents were quite annoyed about the noise - we've got to avoid any cause for people to make 
complaints.

Fines (£20 - £50) will be issued if any specific crews (including bank parties) are seen being noisy.

The handbook states:

32. All crews must ensure that they do not create unnecessary noise anywhere on the river before 7.30am.
33. In particular, loud hailers may not be used anywhere on the towpath, and the use of cox-boxes, and coaching from the 
bank should be kept to a minimum before 7.30am. Coaching from the bank above the railway bridge is not permitted at all 
before this time. CUCBC may stop coaches from accompanying crews from the boathouses to the Penny Ferry for breaching 
this rule.
34. a. That the rules of the river, and especially Rules 32 and 33 will be enforced by a system of early morning 
marshals. The system shall operated by the Executive Committee and the College Boat Clubs will be required to provide 
marshals according to a rota. Crews violating Rules 32 and 33 will be fined and may be banned from the river. Guidelines 
for early morning marshals can be found in Appendix B.
     b. That the marshals shall also enforce the early morning traffic restrictions described in Rule 8.
