Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action either cycling with crews or acting as a static umpire along the course. As a thankyou for your time, all umpires will be offred a free dinner (probably the week after bumps). Also umpires count towards their college's marshal allocation. To help you don't need to have umpired before, but we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before so that you are aware of how the races work. There will be a meeting for all umpires ahead of racing where we all explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' during racing. The umpires meeting is currently scheduled for Sunday 24th February @ 17:30 in Robinson College Umney Theatre and should last about half an hour. If you would like to help out please sign up at: http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup Please indicate which divisions you are available for. You can both compete and umpire but please don't sign up for a division that you are competing in (as a guide leave 1 division either side as well to let you get to/from the boathouses). Division times are available here . If you have any questions, please do get in touch with me. We wouldn't be able to run the bumps without the help of umpires so many thanks in advance!

While considerably better from an administrative point of view than its predecessor, I'm sure there will be some teethign problems. If, having used the system, you have any comments or suggestions please let me know and I will ensure they are passed onto the relevant people. I understand that the new system makes reporting a capsize incident quicker and easier than previously. While I would encourage the use of this option for singles, doubles and pairs that capsize with no outside interference, I would still be inclined to treat capsizes of fours and eights as justifying the more detailed procedure. Regards, Mark Jacobs CUCBC Safety Advisor From tom at cucbc.org Mon Feb 11 10:51:43 2013 From: tom at cucbc.org (Tom Grimble) Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:51:43 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Lent Bumps 2013 Getting-On Race Message-ID: Dear Captains **Please ensure the following information is passed on to all crews competing in the Getting-On Race** The Getting-On Race for the Lent Bumps 2013 will take place on Friday 22th February and will be run in two divisions for men's and women's crews. All men's crews *must be marshalled by 13:45*. The first 20 crews will marshal in starting order on the towpath side between the Railway Bridge and The P&E with the crew number 1 furthest downstream. Crews 21 and above will marshal at Chesterton on meadow side (Stourbridge Common) in racing order with crew 21 furthest downstream opposite the P&E. The marshals will then instruct all crews to proceed to the start together, keeping in racing order. The first 20 crews will spin in order 1 at a time and pull in downstream of the start. Crews 21 and above will remain on the meadow side of the river and spin one at a time as space becomes available as the first crews start to race. All women's crews will marshal *by 14:30* in the same positions above the Railway Bridge with the first 20 on towpath side between Railway Bridge and the P&E and 21 and above along Stourbridge Common. Once all men's crews have finished racing the women's crews will be instructed to proceed to the start and will follow the same spinning pattern before racing. Due to the very large number of crews racing please make sure you are marshalled early. Please check the crew lists at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/gor very carefully before the day of the race as it will likely change in the days leading up to the race.

Please pass this on to coaches etc in your club if they are not on the coxes list. *Crossover Points* Crews travelling *UPSTREAM* have priority at both crossing points. Upstream means going from Baitsbite lock back towards the boathouses. If in doubt throw a twig in the river and watch which way it goes (small twigs only please - before someone throws a tree stump in on CUCBC recommendations!) If you are going downstream and see another crew coming, STOP and WAIT. There have a been a lot of incidents of crews attempting a quick crossover ahead of an upstream crew as soon as they see them coming. This normally ends in both crews crossing to the same side and they end up on a collision course. Hence cue a few minutes of disentangling blades with lots of people waiting.... When you crossover you should do so quickly and you should also make your manoeuvre at the position of the signs that mark the points, not 50+ metres early as you come out of a corner as this is also likely to lead to collisions and confusion for concoming crews. *Spinning Points* Crews should queue on the correct side of the river and spin 1 at a time once it is clear. Please make sure that when you spin, you spin quickly, especially on busy mornings like today and get moving to clear the way for the next crew as quickly as possible. Please do not pull in to the bank in the spinning areas and especially do not sit in the middle of the river to have a chat with your coach for a few minutes. When you are queueing to spin please keep control of your boat and stay tucked into one side of the river. By all means do exercises to keep warm, but not ones that involve your boat moving around while waiting. If you are skewed or on the wrong side of the river (2 or 3 cases I saw this morning) boats cannot get clear to allow others to spin. Therefore you are going to be sitting in the cold for longer. Rowing VIIIs are not that compressible, you have to let some out before you can fit more in to spin! An even more heinous crime is to suddenly decide your crew doesn't have to wait in the queue and then spin in front of and block everyone trying to ecape the spinning carnage. I would class this in the same category as people who steal your food from college kitchens and those who tell you who got fired in the Apprentice as you're about to watch it on iplayer... basically the worst kind of people. Don't be that person! Please let's try and make mornings more bearable as its only going to get worse in the run up to bumps. *Racing Starts (and slow exercises)* It's the time of the year that everyone is practising their first few strokes of bumps starts. If you're just doing the first 1-3 strokes, stopping then doing it again it would be helpful to confine this practise to the long reach. The section of river up to Baitsbite lock is narrower and it is sometimes practically impossible for people to overtake due to lots of traffic. This is basically the recommendation of adapting your outing plan to fit how busy the river is and considering that other crews might want to do do a race piece rather than matching your stop start rowing. If the river is empty behind you by all means do stop-starts to your heart's content. If you're holding up any number of cold, miserable and tired crews who just want to get moving please let them pass or get moving yourself. You've almost all certainly been in that position yourselves so please think of things from other's perspective. In summary... Please play nice with others!

Hello, I am writing on behalf of Dundee University Boat Club. We are planning to come to BUCS in Boston this weekend, though unfortunately we are in a bit of a situation with boats due to the change of location. We have entered two crews, one into the Fresher Boys category on the Saturday, and one into the Intermediate girls category on the Sunday. Coming from Dundee we are unable to bring down any of our own boats. We were kindly wondering if you have a lightweight coxed 4 available for the Sunday, for us to borrow? We are struggling to find boats at the moment and obviously we are really hoping to be able to compete after having trained hard as I'm sure you can understand! Please could you advise me as soon as possible whether you would be able to help out? Looking forward to hearing from you.

We currently only have about half of the necessary people signed up to run the races so if you've been considering umpiring please sign up asap here: http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup You don't need to have umpired before but we do ask that you have competed in bumps at least twice before so you know what is going on. I will shortly be putting together the marshals rota for bumps and if people sign up before that is ready your umpiring availability will count towards your college's marshal quota. If you wait until after this to sign up then it will not count. Please remember we cannot run bumps without people signing up to umpire so it is very important that we get people for all the jobs.

Yesterday we discovered that a club competing completely disregarded a decision made by CUCBC and used an illegal crew member in the Getting-on Race with full knowledge that this was not permitted. They had been in discussions with us about this crew member and we had been incredibly clear in our decision. To make matters far worse their club officers tried to lie and cover up that this breach of the rules had taken place. However we had significant photographic evidence available, which allowed us to discover this. It is for these actions of breaking the rules and most importantly attempting to conceal this fact, that the crew in question has been disqualified from racing this week. These actions very nearly caused their entire club to be disqualified from racing in the Lents. This is a warning to you all that unsporting behaviour and dishonesty* will not be tolerated* in the slightest by CUCBC and the Chief Umpires for this Bumps and any future Bumps. The penalties for false declarations will be swift and severe no matter what stage of the week's racing we are at.

Fifty-five BR members responded to an article in Regatta and a small group has been established reporting into BR. (http://www.britishrowing.org/news/2012/november/5/new-forum-panel-young-rowers) We have now been advised that the Eastern Region needs its own Youth Panel and it has been suggested that there should be a representative on the Regional Council to represent the age group, who could then be put forward to the national body. Rebecca Goyder-Smith and Tim Orme from the University of Hertfordshire have agreed to see what interest there is in the region for forming such a group. I would be grateful if you could circulate this to your clubs so that those who are interested can contact Rebecca and Tim who I have copied in above.
