For seniors, pushing off at lighting up does not mean you are the first crew on the water. University crews, town clubs, and small boats thereof are very often out before you. You must obey navigational rules for your entire outing, not just when you start encountering others. You do not know what is around the next corner or if they're aware of you. There have been two separate mentions of this by users of the river so far. For novices (particularly coxes); be patient and plan ahead. If a corner or maneuver is going wrong then stop the boat immediately and correct, rather than letting it happen and fixing it after the fact. Other crews will thank you for not blocking both sides of the river, and in the long run your own will thank you too (e.g. for not being involved in the multi boat, multi direction pileup under Chesterton footbridge this morning). The river is getting steadily busier, and this is by far and away the worst time as people learn the ropes. Be patient, be courteous, and plan your outings away from early mornings if possible. Best, Mat. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Entries are now open until 16th November. Forms and additional information are attached and will be available here: http://ebc.soc.srcf.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=65&Itemid=56 Get keen as this is the first race of the Novice calendar and a great introduction to racing. Cocktails in the evening also provides a great social occasion where all are welcome, and at only ?8 to book a ticket is a great value evening (purchase tickets from mn359 or with race applications). This year we hope to manage better in difficult conditions with some minor amendments to the rules, we anticipate a good turnout and with the standard fancy dress, doughnuts, and exciting racing, this event is not to be missed! Division winners will receive free tickets to the Emma cocktails. I'll be getting the draw on the website as soon as possible after the deadline, where results will also be updated live as the event unfolds. Standard safety rules apply: heel restraints in place, life jackets for coxes, and correctly fitted bow balls, and we reserve the right to turn away any crew we deem 'unsafe'. If anyone would like any further information, or would like to organise a senior row through please contact me on mn359 at cam.ac.uk. Row throughs are limited as we will be quite tight on time and will be offered on a first come first serve basis.

Fortunately, we are continuing last year's practice and providing row-throughs. We will be allowing up to 4 boats to row downstream with each division by prior arrangement. Any boats coming back upstream will simply have to wait for the end of the current division before following the last race up. To arrange a row-through: 1) Decide approximately what time during the regatta (14:00 to 16:00 Thursday and Friday, 07:30 to 16:30 Saturday) you want to pass Chesterton 2) Email me at this address telling me your college, what boat will be rowing-through and the time 3) I will allocate the slots for each division on a first come, first served basis 4) Once the timetable for racing is finalised (expected to be a week before the Regatta) I will email all concerned to confirm the exact time of the row-through I have already had several requests so don't delay. Please stick to the timings we agree and follow the marshal's instructions. If you are more than 10 minutes late or have not arranged a row-through we will try to fit you in but reserve the right to refuse you passage.

The link to the entry form is in the forwarded email below. Secondly, I wanted to draw your attention to the annual Emma Cocktails which will be held on Sunday (20th) evening in Emmanuel College Upper Hall from 7-11pm. The event is advertised on the entry forms for the novice Emma Sprints race but the invite is also intended for senior crews as well. It is a great social occasion with a live Jazz band and unlimited cocktails - a great way to celebrate success in Winter Head, share in the success of your Novice crews that are racing on Sunday or simply pre-drink before a crew night out to Life! The past couple of years have been really good fun. Tickets are limited and can be reserved by emailing Matt Naish on mn359 at cam.ac.uk and the cost of tickets is ?8 - cheques to "Emmanuel Boat Club" should be placed in Matt Naish's pigeon hole at Emma. Dress is smart casual and Blazers may be worn.

This is not optional. There have been too many crews lately barging their way through, leading to blade clashes and hold-ups on the river. Lights are on your boat for a reason. If, as on Tuesday morning, you are boating in fog, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are visible to other river users. If the batteries in your lights are so weak that the light is pathetically dim, you are essentially unlit. This means that there is very little to stop another crew from rowing at pressure into your stern! Of course, in such conditions you may decide that boating with or without lights is unsafe, or that the outing should be cut short if conditions worsen. 'Half crew, half slide' is an incredibly simple concept. Why does it prove so elusive, and why did I see this morning an VIII rowing with arms and bodies around Chesterton corner? It causes queues, and also leads to people trying to overtake when they are less than certain that the river is clear. Please remember to have at least half of your crew rowing half slide or more (I don't care which half) until you are below Chesterton. I hope that no further reminders about courteous and safe use of the river are necessary this term...

Live results will also be posted here on race day.

Please be aware that unless outstanding money for race entries or Emma cocktails is paid before tomorrow (to Matthew Naish's pigeon hole in Emma) or handed in on the day you will not be able to collect race numbers/tickets. Cheques will be cashed upon completion of the event. In the event of a race cancellation within the first division cheques will not be cashed. In the event of cancellation within a later division cheques will be cashed for clubs that have raced and refunds issued for boats that have not raced. Please check the website for the status of the race before boating. It is also highly recommended that at least one person from each crew (preferably cox and coach) has read the race regulations and instructions before boating (attached).

Please use common sense, and if in doubt, ask a start marshal.

There will be an inevitable wait at the finish before you can row back - it can get extremely cold after the race. > 3 - ALL novice boats must be accompanied by a bank party. Boats without a bank party will not be allowed to start. > > ***CAPTAINS / LBCs / ORGANISERS*** > 1 - In the even of a Red or Yellow flag on either of the race days, a decision will be made as to whether the races will continue or not. Whatever the decision made by the organisers, it is the responsibility of your club captains/coaches/LBCs to assess whether your crews can cope with the conditions. Be realistic. If they cannot cope with the conditions, do not let them race. Crews racing in conditions that are beyond them will cause chaos on the river, and greatly increase the chance of injuries, so this decision should not be made lightly. > 2 - Please make sure all your coxes are well briefed on the race course (especially novices!) > > ***COXES*** > 1 - Make sure you are familiar with the coxes notes (http://jcbc.jesus.cam.ac.uk/Fairbairns/docs/FairbairnsCoxesNotes.pdf). > 2 - If you need to overtake a slower crew, you may only do so AFTER Chesterton footbridge. > 3 - If you are being overtaken, CONCEDE THE RACING LINE. Crews failing to concede the line will be penalised. > > Fingers crossed for a smooth race! > > Best, > > Oscar. > > -------------------------------------- > Oscar Branson > JCBC Secretary > > jcbc-secretary at jesus.cam.ac.uk > +44 7825 225619 > > > > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
