We still need a few more umpires to volunteer to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you are able to help with any of the divisions, please sign up at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup. All we ask is that you have competed in at least two sets of Bumps races in the past. Don't worry if you have not umpired before - we will teach you everything you need to know! Captains, please pass this on to anyone in your club who may be interested (providing umpires will reduce the number of marshals you need to provide). Many thanks, Dan -- With not long to go before the Lent Bumps (23rd-27th February), we're looking to find umpires for this year's races. Umpiring is a really fun way to get involved in the Bumps - you get to see and be involved in the action from up close on the towpath, either cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire at key points on the course. In addition to this, you will get a free dinner, probably the week after Bumps and umpiring will reduce the number of marshals that your club needs to provide. To help out, you don't need to have umpired before although we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of Bumps in the past. There will be a meeting for all umpires where we will explain everything and those that have not umpired before will be paired with a 'senior' during the races. If you would like to help out, please sign up at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup indicating which divisions you are available for (the times of the divisions are listed at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/times). You can both compete and umpire (although obviously don't sign up to umpire a division you're competing in!) If you have any questions, please get in touch.

The undertaking is designed to prevent incompetent crews taking part in the racing and creating a danger to all other crews. The term "10 outings" refers to the whole crew and the cox, and the outings must have been in the present term. It also refers to the average of individual members experience, but a member cannot be accepted if they have done less than eight. For example, if a member has only done 8 outings in this crew this term, then that could be compensated by someone having done 12, but if he or she has only done 7, then his/her outings do not count at all, and he/she should not be in the crew. Rowing done on any occasion before this term does not count, nor does rowing in another crew. Do not forget the cox. Further more I will require a statement from your club safety officer to the effect that all crews entered have completed the required outings. Any club failing to provide these is not allowed to compete, AND should any subsequently be found to be deliberately inaccurate, ALL crews in that club are barred from any subsequent races!

With thanks, Holly -- Dr Holly Hedgeland CUCBC Senior Treasurer Robinson College Cambridge, CB3 9AN The Snowdon Rowing Challenge: a fundraising event for the Snowdon Award Scheme in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of Lord Snowdon coxing Cambridge to victory in the 1950 Boat Race. The Snowdon Award Scheme is a registered charity founded by Lord Snowdon in 1981. The charity provides grants to students with a physical or sensory disability, to help them complete further or higher education or training (www.snowdonawardscheme.org.uk). The Snowdon Rowing Challenge will take place in London on Friday 5th March. It will be the finale of a major event celebrating Lord Snowdon's eightieth Birthday, 29 years of his charity's work, and the launch of the Snowdon Award Scheme Alumni. The top six university boat clubs (Cambridge, Imperial College London, Oxford, Oxford Brookes, Reading and University of London) have all enthusiastically agreed to take part in the challenge. Each boat club has agreed to provide a team of eight oarsmen. Half will be current students and half prestigious alumni. In view of the profile of the event and the highly competitive nature of the sport, each club is looking to provide the best possible team and a number of Olympic and World Champions have already volunteered to take part, including Tom James (Cambridge), Sir Matthew Pinsent, Andy Hodge and Jonny Searle (Oxford). Each team will have an ergo on which they will race as a relay team. The race will last for 20 minutes 15 seconds, which was Cambridge's winning time in the 1950 race. The race will be fun, noisy and highly competitive: a great spectacle. The winning team will be presented with a glass challenge trophy in the form of a rowing blade. Please sponsor the Cambridge team (http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/snowdoncubc). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Late crews will not be allowed to compete. Due to crews scratching, some crews have automatically regained their permanent place - these clubs should know this already. The course is from the Little Bridge to the post downstream of the Railway Bridge, with a rolling start and timed from the bow ball crossing the line. If your crew is inexperienced (as are most in the GoR), please do not assume that they know this! The Conservators are happy for any competitors to use their toilet at Baitsbite if required. Please take them up on this rather than exposing yourself to passers-by. If you have any questions or problems, please ask one of the umpires on the course.

Tomorrow, I will finish delivering the rest of the programs to: Darwin, Pembroke, Peterhouse, and Queens tomorrow afternoon. I tried to deliver the bumps programs to the porters lodge at St. John's (which they had previously agreed to take by e-mail), and the porter refused to take them! I have no idea why, he just seemed to be quite rude about it. On the other hand, the Trinity, Trinity Hall, and Caius porters were all exceptionally kind and helpful. Can the John's captain contact me to arrange a time to pick up the bumps programs and give them to the porter's lodge at John's? There will also be programs available at the control desk during bumps, and at the plough. Bumps programs are 2.50 each, and should be on sale at all of the above porters lodges. ** I have delivered 2 posters advertising the availability of the bumps programs to each porters lodge. So can the captains of each club (or other suitable representative) please go to your porter's lodge and pick up the posters (as some porters seemed particularly keen to get rid of them) and post them somewhere people will be able to see (close to the porters lodge preferably). ** Good luck in bumps!

In particular, if you are able to help out on Thursday with the W2 division (14:40 start) or Friday W2 or M2 (14:40 and 15:20), please get in touch. You do not need to have umpired before - we will give you full instructions. All we ask is that you have previously competed in at least 2 sets of Bumps races. Umpiring is a really fun and rewarding way to get involved with the Bumps and as a thank you, we will provide all umpires with a free dinner. There will be a meeting for all umpires tomorrow (Sunday) at 17:00 in the Cripps Lecture Theatre at Magdalene College Cripps Court (on Chesterton Road - there is a link to a map on the CUCBC homepage).

Full information about the Lent Bumps is available on the website at http://www.cucbc.org/lents ----- DIVISION TIMES AND MARSHALLING The division times are available at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/times - DO NOT BE LATE. The first division of the day (M4 or W3 on Friday) marshals 10 minutes before the start on their station at the start. W3 and M3 (W2 on Thursday) marshal 40 minutes before the start at the Railings (Meadow side of the Long Reach). All others marshal 40 minutes before the start at Chesterton. If you have an equipment failure at the start, it may be possible to delay the start - please speak to the umpires. There will be no delay after the 1 minute gun, except in an emergency, ----- BANK PARTIES There must be no more than 4 cyclists with each crew. This includes the boatman, senior treasurer and any VIPs. Crews will be heavily penalised for excessive bank parties. All cyclists must carry a bank pass appropriate for the division - there are required to cycle beyond the Railway Bridge - these were distributed at this evening's Captains' meeting. If you have any VIPs such as College masters accompanying crews, they may collect a VIP pass valid for the day from the Control Desk at Peter's Posts. ----- BUMPING As soon as you bump, you must HOLD IT UP straight away. If you get bumped, keep rowing. Clear the river straight away and get pulled in to the bank ASAP. Do not celebrate before clearing the river. ----- DISPUTES Any disputes should be reported to the control desk at Peter's Posts within 15 minutes of the division. Disputes and contentious situations will be referred to the Chief Umpire or Deputies, whose decisions are final. Abusive or aggressive behaviour towards the umpires will not be tolerated. Above all, Bumps is fun - keep it sporting!! The chief umpire is Pete Convey and his deputies are John Durack, Chris Balmer, Holly Hedgeland and Dan Wilkins. ----- LITTER etc. Please take your litter with you - do not leave water bottles etc. on First Post Reach. There will be toilets at Baitsbite and Stourbridge Common (Chesterton marshalling area). Please don't relieve yourselves in public as in the past members of the public have complained. If we receive complaints, we will have no choice but to fine clubs. ----- KIT The weather forecast for next week is cold and wet. As such, crews should ensure they have adequate kit to wear while marshalling and waiting before/after racing. All boats must have a bow ball and correctly fitted heel restraints. Coxes must wear lifejackets. Without these, crews will not be allowed to race. All the best to competing crews and I hope you all have an enjoyable week. See you at the river...

Results from Tuesday's races are now available on the website: http://www.cucbc.org/lents/results I attach tomorrow's start order. PLEASE NOTE a change to marshalling arrangements. Tomorrow, M3 will marshal at Chesterton (not on the Reach). All other divisions as normal (i.e. M4 at the start, W3 on the Reach and others at Chesterton). NOTES FROM THE UMPIRES You may have gathered today it is going to be cold and potentially very wet. Please ensure that all crews have adequate kit to keep them warm while marshalling and waiting to row home. It is not the umpires' responsibility to provide you with extra kit! Please bring bank parties while marshalling. It is important we get crews marshalled quickly without messing around - bank parties can help you pull in if it is windy. If we are running late, we will cancel one or both of the practice starts - please do not do practice standing starts if instructed not to (you can still wind it up while rowing down and do a rolling start). LOST PROPERTY A silver ring was found - if it is yours, you will be able to pick it up from the control desk.

PLEASE NOTE There will be 1 minute silence for Ian Thompson before both the W1 and M1 divisions tomorrow. This will be just before the 1 minute gun.

Please ensure all crews and bank parties in these divisions are aware of this. NOTES FROM THE UMPIRES In the case of high stream/wind, please try to pull over to the towpath side where possible to save your boat drifting. This may however, not be possible if crews are racing close behind your bump. It is a good idea to bring bank parties to assist with marshalling if the wind/stream is high.

Thank you! This year Cardinals fancy dress Regatta takes place on the 9th Thursday of Lent term, the day after lectures end for most people. This is 11th March, 2010. The race course is short - approximately 500m long from the bottom of the Reach to the Pink House. The regatta will be run as a knockout competition with crews racing alongside each other at each stage. It should, however, be kept in mind that Cardinals is not about rowing fast, it is about fun. There will be two classes to enter: fun VIII's and fun VI's. Wherever possible, crews should be half male and half female. Everyone is welcome - colleges, departments, societies or town crews - there are no restrictions. You do not have to have much rowing experience, everyone who has at least noviced is welcome to participate. The winner of the fun VIII's will win the Cardinals? trophy. In addition to prizes for rowing fast, the best prize will go to the best fancy dress and any fully dressed up crew will get a head start in their races! The more insane your costume the better! This race is not about rowing seriously, it is about fun, so any crew turning up in lycra will be at a disadvantage. A very important part of Cardinals? is bribery. If you've done well in other races because of your superb rowing technique and hours of training, it may be time to rethink your strategy. The more marshals you bribe, the more likely you are to get a head start... All in all, Cardinals? is a great chance to dress up, bribe people and row for fun in the same boat as members of the opposite sex! (Though we do recommend equal numbers of male and female bow and stroke-siders otherwise there might be a few problems with straight lines.) Spectators are more than welcome and you'll be able to get a good view from either side of the reach. For further information, please contact Sophie Eastwood (sebe2), the regatta?s organiser. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
