At the weekend sculling sessions we'll be handing out kit order forms for anyone attending development squad. Sessions at the weekend will be held at *9.30am on Sat & Sun.* If you can't make the weekend sessions please message me so you can collect a form at another time. We'll need to collect all forms by *Tuesday 7th June*. I've attached the plan for the training sessions in May Week. The main development camp itself will run from the *20th June to 5th July*. We'll look to include anyone looking to race HRR and envisage anyone not qualifying will be able to join the squad. There will also be educational and technical land & water sessions which we'd hope people racing HRR can attend. If you're aware of anyone interested in trialling in 2015/16 that hasn't yet signed up on our website, please encourage them to send me a message.

It was appreciated that Megan had tried to word the proposal carefully to avoid the kind of 'free for all' situation with exceptionals that the SC fears, but it was noted that even from the limited number of individual college situations know personally by the SC members, it would be very easy to circumvent the spirit of the rule within its current wording. After a lengthy discussion between the SC members, we concluded that in order to address this issue fully, we should ideally be in possession of a complete set of facts relating to the relevant college membership categories. If the motion is passed, we will therefore request that each Captain returns a report of the relevant categories of membership at their particular college (covering the affiliations possible to PDRAs and other relevant categories of senior membership for example bye-fellowship and college lecturer status). It would be useful to know the titles used, the requirements of the posts and their level of formality (i.e. by which bodies within the college the membership is approved or elected) as well as the number of people involved in each. >From the exceptionals already requested for this Mays, we understand that this matter does need a conclusion in advance of next Lent Term, so will ask for this information to be submitted as soon as feasible in order that there is enough time to return with the captains to the matter on this time scale. As one final comment, it was noted that the currently proposed wording for the rule change would prevent fellows' VIIIs, which we are keen to avoid explicitly preventing from entering, and hence careful wording on this point will be needed in the final drafting of changes resulting from this process." Further proposals for vote will be circulated later today. Best, Wilf. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please see point 1c. and in particular the sentence as copied below: 'That no more than two such other members of the University who are Employees or elected or appointed Members of a college will be allowed to row in any boat.' This therefore does not exclude more than two fellows rowing in any boat. If you have any further questions, please do get in touch.

I'm a little later than usual in sending it out, so the deadline this time is 23.45 on Thursday evening. While complete failure to return the declaration (or falsified declarations) will result in disqualification, I don't think it fair to punish a whole club for an individual's administrative failure, especially at this time of year. Therefore, please note the following: 1) Forms returned after the deadline, but before the start of the GoR, will attract a ?50 fine. 2) Forms returned after the start of the GoR, but before the start of Bumps, will attract a ?50 fine, and any crews entered into the GoR will be racing for time only. 3) Forms not returned by 23.45 on Tuesday 9th will result in complete disqualification of the club. As ever, please make sure that your outing logs are ready to be inspected. I'll ask 5 clubs to submit them. The deadline for these is 23.45 on Tuesday 9th. If any of your crews have not managed the full 10 outings in the required time, please contact me before scratching with full details of any extenuating circumstances. All crews who have already entered will be welcome to race the GoR for time only (if desired). Any queries, let me know.

Please let me know if anyone in your squad has managed fewer than 8 outings this term. While we take a pragmatic view of illness/injury, and can relax the individual requirement for those training with University squads, if half of your novice boat fall below this threshold they're unlikely to be allowed to race.

Some time tonight, I will send out a final draw (the current version can be accessed at the www.cucbc.org/mays/gor - we?re on v1.10 atm) sometime this evening. Race numbers will be available from the 1st & 3rd Trinity Boathouse tomorrow morning between 0845 and 0915. You can also test your luck at 1645 or around 1830 this evening.

Pick up your race numbers from 1st & 3rd Trinity boathouse between 0845 and 0915. For marshalling, things are pretty simple: Crews in div 1 (racing 1845) should marshal at Baitsbite by 1835. Pull in pointing upstream, in race order. Crews in divs 2 & 3 should marshal at Chesterton by 1915 and 2015 respectively. Pull in between The P&E and the railway bridge pointing downstream, in race order i.e. lowest numbered crew nearest the railway bridge. On rowing down to the lock, row down to the spinning sign, and then spin 1 at a time in race order. Expect a queue to form. Keep a good distance between crews. I would also like to remind everybody that there will be a joint evening ?hour? before the river closure starts (details in previous email). To crews doing the Getting on Race - you are reminded that normal river navigation is in place until racing begins. In particular, stay on your side of the river, and give way to upstream travelling crews, especially at the crossing points. Any reports of GoR crews impeding course pieces of evening hour crews will not be looked on kindly. Best Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The results of Thursday's racing can now be found here: http://www.cucbc.org/mays Notes from the Umpires It is the responsibility of the bank parties to catch and pull in crews clearing to the towpath side. The umpire who has watched the bump is likely to be willing to help one of the crews but it is not their responsibility. When crews who have bumped hold it up, it is only necessary to hold it up for long enough to separate the bow and stern. You can then start clearing. It is almost always unnecessary and often unhelpful to completely stop the boat before starting to clear.

We look forward to the final day of the 2015 May Bumps tomorrow. Results from today's racing are now available at www.cucbc.org. Notes from the Umpires - All divisions race 2 hours earlier on Saturday. Please make sure you marshal on time! - Coxes' concessions should be clear and sustained. Keep your arms high until the chasing cox has seen and called the hold-up. -Bank parties are strictly limited to 4 cyclists. This includes the boatman, coaches, college masters, alumni and other VIPs. Excessive bank parties pose a serious safety hazard for all and prevent the umpires from properly doing their jobs. - Be mindful of other towpath users and watch where you are goi at all times. The towpath is likely to be very busy on Saturday with a large number of spectators. - Take all your littler with you. Empty bottles will not slow the boat down. Should you require them, large wheelie bins are positioned on Grassy Corner. - Paddle home sensibly. Saturday's row home is not an opportunity for your 3 man (or anyone else for that matter) to try out coding for the first time. Coxes should keep control of their boats and obey the proper navigation and/or all instructions from the umpires and marshals. Fines Fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dr Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer (seniortreasurer at cucbc.org) within 48 hours of this e-mail. - Caius M2 - Late concession - Warning - Christ's W3 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Churchill M2 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - Clare M4 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - Clare Hall M2 - Failure to hold it up on bumping - ?35 - Corpus Christi W1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Corpus Christi M2 - Failure to hold it up on bumping - ?35 - Emmanuel M3 - Excessive greenery - Attendance of a carbon management course - Emmanuel W3 - Dropped bung (no advantage) - ?15 - First and Third W1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - First and Third M4 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - King's W2 - No life jacket - ?50 - LMBC M2 - Failure to hold it up on bumping, early celebration and then failure to clear - ?50 - LMBC M3 - Public urination - ?80 - LMBC M4 - Late concession - ?25 - LMBC M5 - Late concession - ?25 - LMBC M5 - Easying upon being bumped - ?35 - LMBC M5 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - Pembroke W1 - Slow to clear - Warning - Pembroke M4 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - Queens' M1 - Bank party obstructing umpires - ?25 - Robinson M2 - Dropped bung (no advantage) - ?15 - Robinson M3 - Dropped bung (no advantage) - ?15 - Selwyn M2 - Extremely late to marshalling - ?20 -- Dr Dan Wilkins Senior Treasurer Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs E-mail: dan at cucbc.org Mobile (Canada): +1 (902) 452-7717 Mobile (UK): +44 (07817) 657717 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From michael at cucbc.org Tue Jun 23 15:23:30 2015 From: michael at cucbc.org (Michael Thornton) Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:23:30 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Scullers vs 8+s Message-ID: <37007EC4-D30A-42E8-A458-AAF8989B9AEB@cucbc.org> All I want to re-iterate what I said at the Novice Coxes meeting in Michaelmas regarding scullers. Once again CUL Dev Squad have taken to the water in a flotilla of singles, and I want to pre-empt anything else dangerous happening after today?s little incident with LMBC. If you take one thing away from this email, it should be this: In the event of a collision, right of way is not an excuse. It is the responsibility of both parties to take avoiding action and should a collision occur, both parties will be expected to defend their actions. Yes, the CUL flotilla is a bit annoying - far more so in Michaelmas when the river is also full of Novice 8s. Overtaking 15-20 scullers in one move is impossible on The Cam unless they?re stationary and tucked in somewhere. You might be able to take a few boats here and there if you?re lucky, but ultimately, if you don?t want to get held up, you?re going to have to be smart about what you do. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to row through a group of scullers, smashing through their blades as you go. If you?re looking to do a piece and you?ve seen CUL on the river, have your coach talk to one of the CUL coaches and find out what their intentions are. Tell them what your intentions are as well - I?m sure the dev squad will happily spend an extra 5 minutes doing stationary drills whilst you get spun and have a quick chat before your piece if that means they don?t have to deal with you trying to overtake them at race pace up Plough Reach. If you do have to overtake, or if the dev squad is coming the other way, show some intelligence. If they?re in the middle of the river, it almost certainly isn?t intentional. Give them a nice loud (and early) ?scull, ahead" or ?scull, steering? and they should get out of the way (if you give them enough warning). If it looks like it might get tight should a scull mis-steer (most of the dev squad started sculling this term), give them lots of warning that you are present so that they?re extra-vigilant, and give them as much space as possible. Coxes, you are far more aware of what?s going on than the scullers. Most scullers will be trying to keep to their bank, and checking there?s nothing directly ahead of them. Boats on the other side of the river are probably not relevant to them. A dodgy stroke in Plough Reach however could make you their problem very quickly if they don?t know you?re there. We all have our own goals that we?re working towards on the water. There?s no reason for anybody to not have a productive session but we need to start pre-emptively talking to each other more, and shouting at each other mid-collision less. Best Michael From hughes.women at cucbc.org Fri Jun 26 10:39:33 2015 From: hughes.women at cucbc.org (Hughes Hall Captain) Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 11:39:33 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Rowing over Summer Message-ID: Hi All, I was just wondering whether you could forward this onto your female rowers and coxes (grads in particular): Here over summer? Wanting to carry on rowing or coxing now that term is over? We at Lucy/Hughes are trying to continue rowing over summer. There are currently 10 of us, however we thought it would be a nice idea to get rowers and coxes from other colleges who are here over summer to row with us, as it would be a great way to get to know other grads (or undergrads). It will be pretty chilled, but depending on the responses from rowers, availability, and keen-ness we plan on having combined around 3 outings a week (mostly in the evening), and some of us will be doing land training which you are also welcome to join. We are preferably looking for W1 or W2 rowers, and those who have been coxing for a year or for a higher boat, however there is a possibility we will make exceptions so feel free to email even if you don't meet that criteria, stating the experience you do have. There also may be a small sub which will need to be paid (details have not yet been finalised) to cover insurance, any repairs, and paid coaching if needed (which we are not currently planning on having), however, this will be a lot less money than subs at town clubs. Please email me (Sally - Hughes Boat Club President) at sfrm2 at cam.ac.uk if you are interested stating your experience and I will get back to you with all the details.
