*<<Captains could you please pass this message from Sunday's Captains'
meeting around your clubs to anyone who may be interested>>*

Dear all

CUCBC are looking to recruit people for the last few roles on this year's
Committee. There are 2 open positions, which are open to *any* member of
the College boat clubs. If you have enjoyed College rowing and competing,
this is a brilliant way of helping make it a great success in Cambridge.
The bumps and many of the other races throughout the year could not run
without the enthusiasm and organisation behind the scenes.

Getting involved with CUCBC is not the massive commitment some think it is
and many of the jobs fit in very nicely with a typical college rowing
schedule and races you would be involved in anyway. In no way will it stop
you from being able to compete in Bumps or any other race.

While the jobs listed below are quite specific roles, there is the
opportunity to help with all of the CUCBC races throughout the year. These
responsibilities are shared between all the committee members, so you won't
be swamped by a massive job on your own!

If you would like to run for any of the positions listed below, please just
get in touch (tom at cucbc.org).

Also if you would like to know more about any of the jobs, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Junior Treasurer

The Junior Treasurer takes responsibility for the day-to-day running of
CUCBC's finances, including drawing up and distributing bills to the
College Boat Clubs and preparing the budget with the Senior Treasurer. They
also have a key role in organising entries to CUCBC races.
Events Secretary

The events secretary helps with the organisation and running of CUCBC
races. While overall responsibility for the CUCBC events will be divided
between committee members (so you will not have to do everything!), the
events secretary helps out with arranging umpires and organising and
distributing umpiring kit. You will also liaise with the producers of the
Bumps programmes and arrange the presentations and upkeep of the University
medals and trophies. A fun job if you want to get involved with running
races on the Cam!


Both of these positions can be co-opted by the current Executive Committee.

There is also an open position for the Honorary Secretary of CUBC, which is
elected separately. If you are interested please contact us for more
information.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Dear College Captains,

The CUWBC started its Boat Race campaign a week and a half ago, we have
some strong returning athletes and generally a good squad, the athletes
have been training hard and are determined to produce three boats that will
beat Oxford on the 24th of March 2013.

We are however a bit short on numbers and competition for places needs to
be greater, if you have any athletes who are capable of 8:00 on a 2k or
under we would very much like to have a look at them. It would be my hope
that having athletes representing your college and boat club is something
that you all aspire to and only makes your boat club a better club to be
around. I also hope that the athletes who don't make boats are able to come
back with a positive experience and add to your college crews.

Please give me a call or email if you have anyone who may be interested or
perhaps hasn't thought about trialling but has the potential.

Kind regards,

Rob Baker
CUWBC Chief Coach

Message-ID: <CAOK3EhBHVrv20NbLKES8GAMv13mFRafPEqMV9zF1zoqTgK9k+g@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains

The turnout for early morning marshals was very poor last week. This is one
final plea to make sure that you find people to fill your club's allocated
slots.

You can find the rota here: http://www.cucbc.org/marshals

Marshals can collect the equipment (bib and clipboard) from on top of the
pigeon holes at the back of Goldie boathouse and should then be in position
at their station promptly just before lighting down and stay until 08:30.
Full instructions can be found here:
http://www.cucbc.org/marshals/instructions. If you find any
of the equipment is missing please tell us and we will go and check it.

We will be collecting in and checking the report sheets and clubs will be
fined for failing to provide marshals.

It is really important that we have marshals to control noise otherwise we
may risk losing access to the river in the early morning. It also follows
that you should make sure your crews are quiet before 07:30.

Thankyou

Tom Grimble
CUCBC Honorary Secretary

looking for something with an average crew weight of 80-85 kg.

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Early Morning Rules - Reminder
Message-ID: <507DE159.2050204@cucbc.org>

Captains,

If you are a patient sort, and can afford 10 minutes of irreverence, 
read on. If, however, you are a busy soul, skip to the end and do as I say.

The last couple of weeks have reminded me why I love the summer. I had 
an abundance of daylight, I could go rowing in a unisuit without 
freezing certain unmentionable parts of my anatomy off, and best of all 
I could go sculling in the evenings. Oh, and did I mention that the 
river was damn near deserted most of the time? Sadly, those halcyon days 
now feel far behind me, and it seems almost impossible to imagine that 
they may once again come to pass.

So, that leaves me (and, conincidentally, you lot) stuck with the 
cattle-market that is early morning outings. Rather than mooing a lot 
and tramping around in our own unmentionables of a different sort 
though, I've got a few novel ideas as to how we can make our mornings 
the sleekest, smoothest, least sh*tty cattle market for miles around.

Chapter the first - on 'lighting down'
Lighting down is the sanctioned time at which colleges may boat. By 
'boat', I do of course mean 'push off the hard, and start rowing down 
the river'. By 'time', I should also like to highlight that the point at 
which 'boating' is permitted is a fixed point each day. A certain 'St 
Swithin's' College (not their real name, obviously, though casual 
observers may find amusement in guessing to whom I am referring) might 
care to note that this is a fixed time, not some sort of bastardised 
variant on the one popular 'price drop TV' format. You can't really have 
0.5ct of 'pure diamondium' for ?4.76, nor can you legitimately boat 
earlier than that time listed on the CUCBC website. At least, not 
without incurring some rather steep 'P&P charges' thinly veiled as a 
financial penalty on those incapable of telling the time or abiding by 
the established rules.

On the topic of 'lighting down', I'm sure that our gentle reader will 
indulge me in a slightly off-topic (though, I feel, useful) diversion 
into the intricacies of 'lighting'. (Don't worry - this won't become a 
Moby Dick-esque trawl through an irrelevant and dull amount of technical 
baggage weighing down the rather depressing hunt for the great white 
whale - besides, that sort of New Hall girl hasn't been spotted on the 
Cam in years anyway). Lighting down is, of recent years, something of a 
misnomer. Lights are still required at lighting down (no matter how St 
Swithin's feel on the matter). All boats must therefore take care that a 
steady, bright, white light is clearly displayed at either end. If you 
really (really) want, you may also display a steady red light on your 
stern, to indicate the rear of your boat. However, please do not boat 
with a red light on your bows - you will (as did our third honourable 
Swithinses yesterday morning) give a misleading and potentially 
dangerous idea to other boats as to which way you're going. Though in 
their case, they may well have been faster backing it down, and so I'll 
forgive them this once.

Perhaps our gentle reader would here benefit from a brief extolment of 
the virtues of lighting. When the morning is overcast and dim, or when 
mists swirl romantically over the reach, obscuring all clear view and 
judgement of the potential formal swap (/boat) ahead of you, a light 
will guide you. It will tell your cox when to easy (and, if you're very 
lucky, when to play hard-to-get, should you come across our mystical 
fourth St Swithin's boat of veritable sirens). Even a faint glow in the 
distance is enough to cry out 'here goes a boat - be on your guard!' 
(lest they drag you to your collective ruin in Cindies). No glow 
whatsoever, however, gives out the message of 'you may be able to see a 
dim whitish grey pointy thing in the mists - here goes the snout of an 
unfortunate badger who met with a watery end'. (The snout of a badger, 
of course, resembling closely enough the shape of most boat sterns. 
However, badgers are generally less appealing guests at formal). A 
little bow-on-snout contact is almost inevitable, though bow-on-stern 
should be saved for bumps.

Chapter the second - on the rest of the outing
Sadly I'm running out of steam on my allegorical trip from boathouse to 
lock. There are a few points though that I'd like you all to note:
1) When paddling away from the boathouses, the rule is 'half crew, half 
slide' unless you're being held up by a crew. This applies to everyone, 
no matter how much practice you think you need at pulling with the arms.
2) When spinning at the lock, please wait your turn. If all boats spin 
one at a time, it really does make things easy. Just look at the 
Head-to-Head marshalling pattern. (Please, whatever you do though, don't 
refer to the Winter Head model. Just don't. Our mornings are already 
busy enough without trying to cram an extra 869 boats into the 
marshalling zone).
3) Having spun, please paddle out of the spinning zone before pulling in 
to coach. This ensures that other boats will be able to spin quickly 
without worrying about harpooning your 5-seat with their bows (Moby Dick 
still far too much in mind, it seems...)

Here ends my lengthy diatribe - though for once I've managed to get 
through it without making unfavourable comparisons to any boot-shaped 
European countries. Seeing though as Berlusconi always made me think 
more of a mole than of our unfortunate consumptive badger, this isn't 
too surprising.

BUSY PEOPLE - START READING HERE

So, you couldn't face my round-about rambling? Or you just didn't 
understand? In either case, here's the bullet point summary:

1) Don't boat before lighting down - it's not playing fair, and you'll 
be fined
2) Be suitably lit, with a bright, steady, white light visible on both 
ends of your boat. Anything else (especially red) is misleading and 
potentially dangerous, and you'll be fined.
3) Warm up using at least half-crew, half-slide, unless obstructed by 
traffic ahead. Otherwise people will think uncharitably of you, and 
(guess what), you'll be fined for being a nuisance.
4) Spin in order at the lock - it's a lot quicker if everyone waits 
their turn
5) Paddle out of the spinning zone before pulling in to coach. It makes 
it a lot easier for others to spin.

And finally, play nicely.

Regards,

Mark Jacobs

A gentle reminder that entries for Uni IVs have to be in by the end of
tomorrow. The entry system will close at 23:45.

This is also the deadline for the entry fees (?25 per crew) and for payment
of last term's bills.

Cheques should be payable to Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs and
then sent to me at Robinson College. If you're going to UMS them please
send them today!

I hope to have a pigeon hole full of cheques when I get home from the lab
tomorrow plus I really don't want to have to spend this weekend chasing you

Attached is the 2012 Water Safety Statement, to be filled in and 
returned by your club's Safety Officer. The deadline for return is the 
end of Week 4, i.e. 31 October if my diary is correctly sync'ed with 
that of the University. Please note that phyiscal signatures are 
unnecessary - it is enough that the response originates from the email 
address of your Safety Officer.

There should be nothing new to you this year, aside from a request from 
British Rowing that we aid them in tracking local participation in the 
sport. However, should you have any questions or would like to discuss 
any points further, please contact me.

Further to my email about the Uni IVs deadline tomorrow, please could you
also get your scheduling constraints to us asap. The races run 2pm-4pm each
day during the week so please don't ask for times outside this.

Email your constraints to committee at cucbc.org.

Please try and get your requests in ASAP. We are looking top get the draw
and schedule done at the weekend so if you send us anything after Saturday
midday it may not be considered! It's a lot harder to change things after
the first run through so email us now rather than later!!!

Dear Captains

The Uni IVs draw and timetable has been published on the CUCBC website.
Please check it very very carefully and observe marshalling times AND
locations, which do change quite a bit from day to day.

We have tried very hard to accommodate many of your requests but have not
been able to make everyone happy.

Full refunds will be accepted until 5pm on Wednesday and half refudns until
5pm on Thursday for any scratches. Anyone who has already informed us of a
scratch will be given a refund.

Just to remind you about the rules for substitutions. You may change your
crew provided all members are eligible under CUCBC rules up until your
first race. Once you race with a crew any crew substitutions *MUST* be
referred to the CUCBC committee and permission is generally only given in
the case of accident or illness.

If you are unsure about any of the rules or you think there may be an error
or problem with your timetable please get in touch ASAP!

All the best

Dear all

University Fours is running next week (Monday 29th Oct - Friday 2nd Nov)
and we are looking for umpires to help with the smooth running of the races.

The draw and timetable have now been published and based on this we require
umpires from *1:30pm* until *3:30pm* on each day and perhaps a little bit
later on Friday. We will be meeting at the P&E at 1:30pm each day to
prepare for the races.

Umpiring is a really fun way to get much more involved in college rowing
and is almost certainly the best way to watch a race!

Please contact me if you are interested in helping on any of the days next
week.

Many thanks

Dear Captains

So far I have had very few umpires come forward for uni IVs.

If your club is competing I would strongly hope you were planning to spare
sone of your members for a few of the days.

I need people between 13:30 and 15:30 each day next week (29th - 2nd).
Umpires should be senior members of your boat club ideally with experience
of a regatta.

If by tomorrow evening I still do not have enough people I will draw up a
fixed rota based on your number of entries and give you fixed days to fill
like we do for bumps. Failure to do so will mean the races cannot run and
everyone will be disappointed.

Many thanks

Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Uni IVs Schedule Change - Men's Finals - 2nd
	November
Message-ID: <CAOK3EhDMYmfxgqNKBYXBZ7V94r=wX21yxg1rDAr8RDBgJbreHQ@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains

Due to a significant number of scratches I've had to shuffle the smaller
divisions about earlier in the week to ensure people don't race more times
in the same day than their opponents.

The only other races affected have been W2 and M4- ones.

The major result of this is that the men's finals and semi-finals (m1 and
m2 divisions) are now starting about half an hour earlier at 2pm rather
than marshalling at 2:30pm. This gives us a lot more flexibility rather
than trying to run 3 sets of finals in a single day.

Again please check your race times carefully!

Many thanks for bearing with us through this scheduling nightmare =)

Dear all,

On Sundays 28th October and 4th November Cambridge Fish Preservation &
Angling Society is holding a Club Match on the River Cam between the
Penny Ferry public house, Chesterton and Clayhithe Bridge (ie all the
way beyond Baits Bite Lock).

Boats making passage along these reaches are asked to keep a look-out
for rods with lines/poles and to keep speed down to a minimum when
passing competitors.

Please be considerate towards competitors this weekend, and make sure
that the message is passed on to lower boats etc as well. This is not
a full closure to college crews, but if I do receive reports of
inconsiderate behaviour or uncontrolled novices bumping into lines
then I'm afraid one will be imposed for the 4th.

Thanks,
Holly

This is one final plea for more umpires for Uni IVs next week.

We are still very short of people and do not yet have anywhere near enough
people to run the races.

I am currently drawing up a rota to fill the other roles and colleges will
be required to provide people for their assigned slots or face penalties.
However if you get people to sign up before I publish the rota you will be
able to choose which days you marshal.

Also please remember that marshals should be experienced members of clubs
who have raced before on the Cam.

Many thanks!

Message-ID: <CAOK3EhBjex9xtuMxPwADO6=7PHGmzLXc_OSx33ODujTNBTanaA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains

I've had a few more offers of assistance to help run the races smoothly
next week.

I have now made a rota based on the number of entries from each college
plus subtractions for marshals already signed up.

If we don't have enough marshals the races either cannot run or will run
very slowly because we need a marshal with each racing pair.

The rota for each day is as follows:

*Monday*

   - Christs
   - Clare
   - Downing
   - Jesus
   - St Catherine's


*Tuesday*

   - Caius
   - Christs
   - Emmanuel
   - Jesus
   - Kings


*Wednesday*

   - Clare
   - Kings
   - Emmanuel
   - Queens'


*Thursday*

   - Girton
   - Homerton


*Friday*

   - LMBC

Please send me names and CRSids of the people you find to fill these slots
and I will add them to my marshals list then forward instructions later in
the weekend. Marshals are required between 13:30 and 15:30 each day
approximately and on many days we should finish quite early. Deadline for
getting names to me is 3pm tomorrow so I can distribute instructions that
evening!

Many thanks in advance for helping us get these races running.

It will be a head race for first year rowers who are looking to race and
have a go racing.****

Would you be able to pass around your clubs and see if there is any
interest. It is for University clubs only.****

The closing date for entries is Friday 1st November next week. However, all
you have to do is email crews by this date and then follow this with a
