[CUCBC Captains] Start of Term

[Derek O'Brien]

Dear Captains,

Weekend restrictions for Lent Term are as per Michaelmas Term.  Weekend
rowing is permitted on Saturday and Sunday after 11am only.  The two boat
rule is NOT in effect, but may be brought into effect later in term if
needed, as decided by the executive committee.

River closures for the Lent Term have been posted on the front page of the
CUCBC website.  Please check this list when planning outings.  Pembroke
Regatta has not yet been added to this list, but a preliminary date for this
regatta is Saturday, 13th February.  Please note that on Saturday, 16th
January and on Saturday, 20th February there will be no weekend restrictions
to allow for the winter league on the following day.  (i.e. boating will be
allowed before 11am).

The early morning marshals rota is posted on the CUCBC website, and the
first marshals should appear on Tuesday, 12th January (tomorrow).
Information about the next Captains' Meeting will be e-mailed around
shortly.

This may sound like an unnecessary reminder, but it would be wise to remind
all your crews (or have crew captains remind their crews) that it is
especially cold this winter, and that everyone should dress appropriately.
If the outside temperature is very cold (usually below 0 degrees celsius),
then slower wind speeds than normal may call for a yellow flag.  It is also
important to be aware that the river can freeze if temperatures become very
cold.  The tow path can also get very icy, so it is important to be careful
while cycling to watch where you are going and be prepared.

Can all clubs please also update their insurance summary on the CUCBC
website if your insurance form is out of date.

Happy New Year,
Derek O'Brien
