The results have now been updated on the website. Congratulations to Caius for their victory in the M4- category. Please ensure you marshal on time tomorrow.

Navigators making passage along these reaches are asked to keep a look-out for rods with lines/poles and to keep speed and wash down to a minimum when passing competitors. It has been reported that last weekend's League Match was heavily disrupted by inconsiderate rowing crews and bank parties using the towpath without due regard. The towpath is a public right of way for young and old. Please respect others' right to enjoy the river. Monday 5 November A suspension (closure) of navigation will be in effect on the River Cam, as advertised in the Cambridge News and as displayed on the Conservators notice boards and web-site: The suspension will affect those reaches adjacent to Midsummer Common (Fort St George public house to Cutter Ferry Bridge), 7pm to 8pm, during the annual fireworks display. Mooring Permit holders have been requested to vacate their berths at Midsummer Common before this suspension takes effect. River users must observe the safety marshals' instructions. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Pip Noon River Manager Conservators of the River Cam www.camconservators.co.uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As warned last week, I'm afraid there is no option but to close the river to college crews on Sunday. The closure will be all day. I send my sincere apologies for the short-notice of the this closure but I have only just been contacted about this matter; particular apologies to those of you who have arranged external or alumni coaches for Sunday afternoon. I'm afraid the behaviour of some of those out last week on the river, and on the towpath, was completely innapropriate, with swearing at anglers reported as well as a lack of consideration of the event in progress, hence we are obliged to resort to the closure this weekend. With best wishes, Holly -- Dr Holly Hedgeland Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs From njsc2 at cam.ac.uk Sat Nov 3 17:13:25 2012 From: njsc2 at cam.ac.uk (N.J.S.

Over the last week we have received a number of complaints from residents along the river and users of the towpath: 1) Moored boats Crews should take every care in pushing off against moored boats. If you do crash or steer incorrectly please push off against the fenders. These are the bits of rope/plastic/rubber hanging along the side of the boat and they are there to stop the side of the boat getting scratched. You should take every effort to avoid scraping your blades along the paintwork and hull of a moored vessel, especially below the waterline as this damage is very difficult and expensive for the owners to repair. Also moored boats are private property. We have had reports of coaches jumping onto people's boats to try and reach their crews. This is completely out of order and if we hear of any more reports of this we will take the matter very seriously with the clubs and individuals concerned. 2) Coaching on the towpath The towpath is a public right of way. People use it every day to get to work etc. Please keep your bicycles clear of the path if you are coaching and stand to the side if you are stationary. Also keep your boat's blades off the towpath if you are pulled in to chat. Please also remember the rules about early morning noise. No coaching from the bank before 07:30 and definitely no megaphones in the morning! We need everyone to take some care and respect around other users of the river. The actions of just a few individuals can cast a bad impression of the entire community of college rowing. Above all else if something goes wrong be polite and apologise. Admit you made a mistake and this will hopefully defuse most situations. We will be dealing very strictly with any future reported incidents.

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 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.

Any crew that has not been given their preferred division should have already been emailed highlighting this. The race information document on the website contains a map with marshalling zones with crew 1 closest to the railway bridge and crew 16 closest to the P and E (race numbers are on the draw). *****ON RACE DAY****** A member of each college must come to Emma Boat house between 8.30 and 9.30am to collect race numbers and doughnuts :) Make sure crews have enough warm clothing - we're expecting good weather but it will be quite cold and there is always a risk crews may have to sit stationary for long periods of time should there be a delay. Check the flag on the EMMA website if there is bad weather and this will indicate if the event is happening and in what format (refer to the information document on the website for further details). *****FORWARD ATTACHED DOCUMENT TO ALL COXES***** Please forward this email to the coxes participating. In order for the event to run smoothly all coxes must understand how the event runs (not just the LBCSs). To that effect please ensure they read the race information document on the website and the attached document that takes them through how the event runs step by step. *****GET EXCITED******* This race is always one of the more fun events in the racing calender - and what better way to introduce novices to racing! I hope that your costumes are all ready to go, ingredients for bribes have been bought and that Party Mania have been bought out of face paint. *********************** Any questions please do not hesitate to email and (on the day) phone me - 07919272684 - with any problems. Captains please forward to all LBCs and Coxes. I look forward to seeing you all on sunday! Nick Chilvers EBC Vice Captain -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Also the number of incidents of dangerous behaviour and inconsiderate coxing that could easily lead to a serious accident has increased massively too. Please read the following and heed this warning as there will be no tolerance for stupid behaviour for the rest of this term. *1) Lights* All crews out in the 15 minutes after lighting down in the morning and in the 15 minutes before lighting up need to have lights on their boats. Marshals watch for this in the morning ad you will be fined for not having lights that are sufficiently visible. The only acceptable type of light is a *BRIGHT, WHITE light* on both bow and stern. If it is faint, buy some batteries! Also, saying the river was really busy and you didn't have time to stop to put lights on your boat is not a valid excuse. If you have an outing late in the afternoon you should be aware of when it gets dark and plan accordingly. *2) Spinning* The *ONLY* places where you may spin are at Jesus and Baitsbite Locks at either end of the river and at the P&E (alongside the small car park at the start of the towpath) and between the posts at the bottom of the Long Reach. Spinning elsewhere because you can't be bothereed to wait is unacceptable. When you want to spin you MUST ensure that the river is clear and that you will not impede anyone coming the other way. When you are able to find a safe place to spin please only spin 1 boat at a time. If you are behind, *WAIT YOUR TURN*. Once you finish spinning, clear the area as quickly as possible and THEN pull in. All crews should get out of the spinning areas as quickly as possible and you definitely should not be stopping and doing exercises as this blocks the river for everyone else. *3) Overtaking queues and on corners* It is an unfortunate reality that there is a massive queue in the mornings of boats trying to clear around the P&E and at Ditton to spin. If everyone used some more sense while trying to spin this would help matters (see previous section). If there is a solid queue of boats all the way ahead of you, *DO NOT OVERTAKE*. We have had innumerable incidences of crews pushing their way in front and they end up impeding a boat coming the other way. This usually ends up with all 3 boats getting tangled and it now takes 10 times as long for them to get out of the way making everyone sit around in a a queue for longer. No crew may overtake unless they ask permission to come by and can see it is safe. A massive queue in front *IS NOT CLEAR OR SAFE.* The cox being asked for permission to overtake also has a responsibility to respond even if it is a negative. This also goes for corners where you can't see around the bend, you should only overtake where you have a large clear space ahead of you that you can see. Not even University crews should be forcing their way through queues of boats without making sure it is safe and clear, although college crews are asked to give them priority where it is reasonable to do so. This is just a request, they do not have a right of way over others, but we all want to see them steaming past Oxford next year. *4) Crossover points* Pleas heed the massive signs at the crossover points! If you are going downstream (from the boathouses to Baitsbite Lock) you *MUST GIVE WAY TO UPSTREAM CREWS*. Be patient and do not push your luck trying to quickly nip across. Some of the worst accidents we've had have been a result of crews crossing over into others. It takes longer than you think for an VIII to get across the river and out of the way again. If you can see a crew coming ahead upstream you should probably sit and wait for them to go by. Upstream crews you do have priority but also have a responsibility to not cause an accident so *BE SAFE* and stop if you have to! *5) Holding up other crews with slow exercises* The stretch between the boathouses and Chesterton is narrow and windy and almost impossible to overtake on. In order to keep the flow of boats moving along here we ask that everyone keep to a minimum of half crew, half slide so that people don't end up stuck stationary when it is cold. If you have a clear river in front of you, *DO NOT SIT THERE DOING ARMS ONLY * while a massive queue of boats are stuck behind unable to overtake. Your coaches must plan for this and should only do slow exercises where there is space and should adapt their outing plan accordingly. If they can't they're a crap coach and I strongly recommend you get a new one. If there is nothing behind you, fine do it. If people are waiting, pull in and let them through or get your boat moving and let everyone have a chance at a decent outing! Now you've read all that I expect everyone on the river to now be completely safe and to do everything perfectly for the rest of term.... Please be patient and please be considerate of others it will help a lot. Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Between Lighting Down and 08:30hrs on Monday to Friday each college club will only be permitted to have two boats on the river at any one time. This rule applies to IVs and VIIIs but not to singles, pairs or tub pairs. Further details on this rule and penalties can be found on the CUCBC website . Hopefully this will be sufficient notice for all clubs so that you can plan your outings around this accordingly.

All women's cup races will now take place on Sat, please look closely at the draw as your opposition may have changed slightly. I would like to point out that I was only able to make such changes due to this years cup not being full to capacity. The draw has been out for almost a week and the provisional timetable of racing for at least a year! It really is not acceptable to be asking for rearrangements so close to the day of racing. Please bare this in mind for next year (and thanks to those who warned me well in advance). Changes to note are: - All women's cup races on Sat - As div 9 will now be overcrowded we ask that you turn up promptly and expect some overlap whilst marshalling - Women's plate round 2 will now marshal *on the reach at 14:30* on Thurs - Can all captains make sure their lbcs are aware of the above please Kind regards, Jordan Ward-Williams CNR Senior Umpire -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This has apparently convinced some colleges that they can deliberately impede university crews. This is not the case! *If you are rowing or paddling and it is safe to do so all college crews should take every effort to allow a University crew to overtake.* This applies to any time you are being followed by a faster crew, if you are holding them up it is your responsibiltiy to let them by when it is safe. *Rule 23: That a slower boat being overtaken must give way (pulling in if necessary) to allow a faster boat to pass.* *If someone asks to overtake and it is safe just stop for a few strokes*, let them get round you easily and then continue paddling. It costs you 10 seconds and the whole river will be a lot easier to navigate. If you keep rowing it takes a lot longer for them to overtake and there are innumerable cases of where such actions have led to serious accidents and injury. Any incidences of deliberately impeding a University crew or any other crew for that matter when there is clearly an opportunity to let them by are against the rules and will be dealt with as such. The circumstances I was discussing before are *ONLY RELEVANT TO OVERTAKING QUEUES* hence the very clear section headers around each point. This is a clarifcation of common sense which apparently a lot of people lack. *Rule 22.b That no boat may overtake on a corner or when it cannot see that it is safe to do so.* If you're in a queue *NO ONE* should be overtaking as you cannot see that it is safe. Pushing through a load of stationary boats invariably makes it worse and makes everyone wait even longer.

As above, we request that navigators refer to the race marshals in attendance to seek passage between race divisions. The Halingway towpath is a public right of way. Cyclists must give priority to pedestrians at all times. Thank you for your attention and cooperation.

Marshaling will be slightly different. All boat clubs boating upstream of Jesus boathouse will head directly to the start, rather than follow the circulation pattern. All crews boating from downstream of Jesus will follow the circulation pattern as planned. For all those taking part, I hope you have a good race. See you on the river, -- Sam Bray Fairbairns Secretary 2012 JCBC
