Described as "what Emma Sprints wants to be", Cardinals promises to be the the most fun college regatta of the year. Starting at 11:00am Cardinals will be as ever a fancy dress, high-intensity event, where FIFA sized bribes are mandatory if you want any chance of victory. The boats are to be mixed crews (possible exceptions made for particularly commendable attempts at cross-dressing), or in the case of the tub pairs both genders must be represented in the boat, but not necessarily in the rowers. The classes this year will be: Mixed IVs + Mixed VIIIs + Tubs +(++ encouraged) With additional "best dressed categories" The finals promise to be as exciting as ever; with the two counterparts racing down the reach in opposite directions, spinning at their respective ends, and then rowing full pelt towards each other to the finish line in the middle of the reach. Further ingenious races may also feature in the semi finals. Following the day's gruelling test of sportsmanship at its highest level, we invite you back to Catz Bar at 9:30pm for prizes and mandatory fire engines, followed by our very own Catz Cardinals After Party at Life where all rowers, non rowers, coxes, and anyone attached to CUCBC, and everyone else are invited. Guestlist at only ?2 before midnight! More news on this to follow! There will be a photographer on site all day to capture your boats looking at their best. We receive entries from many interested boats and know it will be a great event this year. Please see the SCCBC website, and the event page for more details( http://www.boatclub.caths.cam.ac.uk/content/cardinals-regatta-2013, https://www.facebook.com/events/220596234746850/), and address all questions and entry forms to the Cardinal's Regatta Entries Secretary Scott Warin(sw629). Attached are the rules, and the entry form for the competition this year. We hope to see you soon, Catz Cardinals Committee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am getting concerned that there isn't going to be a happy ending here: at a meeting with the City Council on the 22nd Feb, residents with complaints were encouraged to contact the Council directly. This resident clearly has detailed enough information to do so, and as there is a by-law against amplified noise on the river, there may be little I can do to help those named, or more widely, even morning rowing as a whole. *Please be quiet: we risk losing earlies.* Thanks, Holly -- Dr Holly Hedgeland Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 7:42 AM Subject: Early Morning Noise To: Holly Hedgeland Dear Holly, A lovely quiet few days after bumps, but now some short memories, I'm afraid. Queens ladies, 6.55am, amplified non-essential instructions. Murray Edwards ladies, 6.53, amplified non-essential instructions. Magdalen men, 6.59, cox just chatting and joking with the crew, amplified. Queens ladies going upstream, returning(?) 7.10: Amplified, constant instructions. Caius women 7.10, amplified. Queens men, going upstream, 7.11: amplified. Very loud shouting and music from Goldie boathouse, 7.15. We want to be able to solve these problems without a lot of hassle, but, as we've said to Dick Pryce Jones in the past with regard to Goldie, we and others (both on boats and in houses) feel this is an important issue and one we will pursue further if the clubs themselves can't find a solution. We appreciate all your help so far - there was a marked improvement before bumps, and some clubs are perfectly behaved. St John's ladies, for example, went by in absolute silence. I wouldn't even have known their blades were going into the water if I'd not been looking out!

If you are a college crew training for the May Bumps then this is the perfect opportunity to practise those racing starts and size up the opposition. If you are a town rower, why not get a crew together and show them how it's done? This year we have a category for college alumni rowers too. The regatta is a plate competition, so those who lose their first heat get to row again against other crews in the same position for a 'second place' prize. Everyone gets to race at least twice (if not more) and all of your races should be compete in under 90 min. All winning crews will get glass tankards. The club with the most winning crews wins a bonus prize of a slab of beer! The bar at the Cambridge '99 RC boathouse will be open after racing for prizes, and burgers and a BBQ will also be on offer. More details and a poster are available on the Cambridge '99 RC website at nines.rowing.org.uk. Entries via email to regatta at nines.rowing.org.uk by Tuesday 14 May 2013.

The races will start at 11.00am from the Cambridge Canoe Club clubhouse on Sheep's Green, Newnham. Participants will race down the College Backs between 11.05 and 11.45am and proceed onto the lower river, returning up the Backs between 12 15am and 1.00pm. Racing will also take place on the upper river between Sheep's Green and Grantchester. There will be marker buoys in the river for competitors to use as turning points at Chesterton and immediately upstream of Baits Bite Lock. These will be in place by 10am and they will be removed after the last competitor has left the course. Temporary marker buoys will also be deployed on the upper river. We should be grateful if all navigators could keep the river channel clear for competitors during this national event. The organisers would also be most grateful for your cooperation.
