[CUCBC Captains] Commemorative race - Friday 9th January

[Conor Burgess]

Dear Captains,

For anyone planning outings tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, please be aware that KCBC will be running two commemorative races with Queen Mary University London Boat Club to remember the years during WWII when King’s College hosted QMUL and and when we shared our equipment and boathouse with them. 

We have secured a river closure between 1pm and 3pm from Cam Conservancy to enable us to run the race, but the races are actually due to run at 2:30 and 2:35 tomorrow. KCBC will have a marshal at the P&E from 2:15 to liaise with crews heading towards the course (the Uni IVs course from below the motorway bridge to just below the railway bridge), but we don't plan to ask crews to stop except for just before and during the races, which shouldn't be longer than around 20 minutes. 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,

Conor Burgess
(On behalf of KCBC)
