It is that time of the year again: Bumps is over, term is drawing to a close, and everyone is training for the next big competition on the rowing schedule. No it's not WEHoRR/HoRR - you've guessed it, it's Catz Cardinals 2015! The (spring) sun at the end of the wintry tunnel that is Lent Term, Catz Cardinals is what keeps everyone chugging through those last few weeks. Now is the time to put together that mixed crew, choose an outrageous outfit scheme, and ensure you have enough goodies to see your way to the top! The regatta will run through the day on **Thursday March 12th** (around 9.30am start TBC) and will be composed of the following categories: * Mixed 8s * Mixed 4s * Mixed Tubs (depending on sufficient interest) **** ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN! **** For forms and more info go here: http://www.boatclub.caths.cam.ac.uk/content/cardinals-regatta-2015 Deadline for entries: midnight on Sunday March 8th The final will be as demanding a test of fitness as ever, with both crews racing down the river from opposite ends, spinning, and sprinting to the finish line in the middle of the reach. After a day?s hardcore rowing, everyone will be welcomed into the Catz bar for prizes, fire engines and general after-partying at 9.30pm.

And raise money for charity at the same time? Next term a number Cambridge University boat clubs have signed up to take part in The Brain Tumour Charity sponsored erg. And we're still looking for more crews to take part! As part of the initiative, we're offering a new Nielsen-Kellerman cox box to whichever boat club raises the most money per boat. We're aiming for ?50 per crew member, but the higher you go, the better! The exact dates of the event are yet to be confirmed, but will probably happen in the first or second week of May - some crews may want to combine this with the Concept 2 Global Marathon Challenge. For more information on the charity, check it out here: http://www.thebraintumourcharity.org. If you'd like to sign up your boat club or hear more about the initiative, please contact Josh Goodman (jg660). Best regards, Wilf. Genest CUCBC Hon.

Best regards, Wilf. Dear rowers and scullers, This Sunday is the the British Canoe Union Divisional and Eastern Region Hasler Qualifier race and it is happening right here in Cambridge! Have you ever wondered if race kayaking might be good cross-training for rowing? It really is. This sport, like rowing, is powered by the legs but has an interesting twist that can work your leg and upper body muscles in slightly different ways. If you?d like to see some top division action (picture attached was taken at last year?s Chelmsford race by superb local photographer Chris Worrall) then why not watch Divisions 1 through 3 from the bank anywhere along the river from town centre downstream to Baits Bite lock this Sunday? Here?s the plan: -Divisions 1 to 3 are doing a 21 km race downstream to Baits Bite lock and back starting from the CCC clubhouse at Newnham -Divisions 4 to 6 are doing a 14 km race downstream to Penny Ferry and back starting from the CCC clubhouse -Divisions 7 to 9 and juniors in plastic boats are doing a 7 km (slightly shorter for the juniors) race upstream to Grantchester and back starting from the CCC clubhouse Racing begins at 11am. We expect crews to start going through Jesus Lock from about 11:15 am and will be back past the Green Dragon Bridge by 1:30pm or 2pm latest. Balancing a high spec racing kayak is more difficult than balancing a single scull. Last year, a competitor at this event was capsized mid-race by a careless rowing crew. The Cam Marathon is the only official race organised and hosted by your friendly local paddlers, the Cambridge Canoe Club, which takes place downstream from their clubhouse at Newnham. For these three hours, once a year, hundreds of kayakers come to Cambridge to race. You are invited to come and watch, to cheer them on. We?d be very happy and grateful of offers to marshall if anyone wishes to make their time on the bank official. Please, if you really feel you must be on the river during 11 to 2 this Sunday, be considerate of the competitors. Although all are told the rules of the river and not to take racing lines on the bends, for most this will not be their home water and we can all agree that the Cam is not a straightforward or wide river to navigate through town. For some of Sunday?s competitors, this will be their last chance to race before they compete in the famous 125 mile Devizes to Westminster race over Easter weekend. An injury from a collision at Sunday?s race could exclude them from an event they have been training for all winter. Important detail to note: THERE WILL BE BUOYS AT PENNY FERRY AND BAITS BITE TO MARK THE TURNING POINTS FOR COMPETITORS. PLEASE AVOID THESE. Many thanks and all best wishes ?
