The course for new LBCs will be held on: Tuesday 5th October from 4 - 6pm in the Auditorium at Magdalene Cripps on Chesterton Road. All new LBCs are expected to attend the course. The session 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. If a lower boats captain is unable to attend, please inform us by email (to seniortreasurer at cucbc.org) in order that we can provide you with a copy of the handout, to ensure that you are not in breach of the article below. 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."

The roles represent an opportunity to get involved in the running of CUCBC and the organisation of our events: a reasonable level of commitment will be required but gaining experience in the organisation of events with 2000 participants is good cv-worthy stuff! Detailed descriptions of the roles are given below, and we are looking for students with a background in rowing on the Cam, with other relevant organisational experience also welcome. The vacancies are compatible with rowing this year and competing in Fairbairns/Lents/Mays. If you are interested in either post, please send a brief resume of relevant experience to seniortreasurer at cucbc.org by the end of Tuesday 5th October. Selected applicants will be invited to the start of term Executive Committee meeting and presented to the first Captains' Meeting of term (Tuesday 12th October) for approval.

You can do this by signing in to your account at cucbc.org. Regulation 4a states that your club cannot boat if insurance details are not up to date by 5th October (the start of Michaelmas full term), so please make sure they are there in good time.
