From mark at cucbc.org Sun Nov 1 22:02:15 2015 From: mark at cucbc.org (Mark Jacobs) Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2015 22:02:15 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Observation, courtesy and caution Message-ID: <56368BE7.2080608@cucbc.org> Dear All, We're getting to the point in term where lots of novice crews venture further than the P&E, adding to the morning traffic on the lower stretch of the river as well as making the row home something of an obstacle course. So far this term I've seen plenty of low-level incidents resulting from crews either not looking/planning ahead or by making inappropriate choices (e.g. the go/no-go decision when lining up an overtake). Less happily, we have had a couple of incidents that have caused reasonably serious damage to boats (though as yet we have avoided injuries, to the best of my knowledge). I would ask that as the river gets busier, and particularly as the mornings begin to shorten again, that all crews act with courtesy and consideration to other river users. If you see a novice crew skewed across the river and trying to sort themselves out, it's probably better to hang back and give them space to do so than to barge through with blades drawn in at the last minute. Yes, you might get through, but you'll make life harder for the novice cox (as well as delaying the three or four crews behind said novice boat!) Similarly, if you find a crew on the wrong side of the river (particularly at the crossovers), better to easy, even if it's your right of way, than to bullishly press on and risk damage and injury. Play nicely, and you might find that other crews try to make your life easier too. Finally, CUCBC rules require that any boat on the water within 15 minutes of lighting up / down carry a white light on each end. They must also use lights at any time during limited visibility (i.e. fog). I've long given up explaining the difference between red lights and white lights, as it seems too difficult a concept for certain individuals, but if you're going to use a red light please make sure it's on your stern rather than the bows! Please also make sure that you have decent batteries in your lights - if your stern is visible before your stern light, not only is the light useless but you are at risk of getting rear-ended in a queue. You may also be fined, unless you're so invisible that you slip past the early morning marshal completely unnoticed (not a recommended tactic). Captains - the deadline for safety statements is fast approaching. So far I've had about half the number I expect. As ever, let me know if you have any questions.

Can you please check to see if any of your rowers have lost a wallet over the weekend and ask them to get in contact with me on msl49 at cam.ac.uk Regards, Melissa -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The deal is that if you can get together a group of at least six rowers for a trial session, it will be ?8 per person, which is half price so a good offer. This is for 90 minute Bikram hot yoga, which goes through 26 poses and you will understand what each has to offer and how it works. Suitable for beginners through advanced. Here are the times to choose from : Monday 5pm Tuesday 6pm Wednesday 5pm Thursday 6pm Friday 5pm Saturday 10 am Sunday 10 am Will you please spread the word? If someone emails me the names and email addresses of those rowers and coxes interested and which session, I can book them in. It's at ETHOS in central Cambridge and it's awesome. But you won't know if you don't try. All best wishes, Donna -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can find more information and enter your crews here: http://jcbc.jesus.cam.ac.uk/old/fairbairns/ The regatta will be held on 3rd and 4th December 2015, with three novice divisons on Thursday 3rd and three senior divisions on Firday 4th. Please also find attached the rules and regulations for the regatta - these are also available on the website. I am very excited this year to announce a greatly revamped prizes system for the regatta! In previous years winning crews other than the senior 1st boats were awarded only a single Fairbairn Cup shield per crew. This year every single member of every winning crew will be awarded a commemorative winning shield! Furthermore, after many years lost, the original Fairbairn Cup (dating from the very first Fairbairn 'Lock to Lock' regatta in 1928) has been found - please see the photo attached! After undergoing some restorative work, the cup will be presented to both the winning senior 1st women's and men's crews whose names will of course be added to the cup! Sadly for both insurance and sharing (the cup dates to a quasi-medieval time before women were admitted to the university) reasons we are not in a position to allow winning crews to take temporary ownership of the cup for year subsequent to their victory, as might be conventional, however we are looking for ways to solve this problem - watch this space in future years! I hope you will agree that these changes will only enhance the spectacle and prestige of winning at the Fairbairn Cup Races, and thus inspire your rowers to train that little bit harder(!), however I would very much appreciate any feedback you might have on the changes, good or bad. If you have any questions regarding entries or the regatta in general, again, please do not hesitate to contact me at: jcbc-fairbairns at jesus.cam.ac.uk. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you all at the regatta in one months time - work hard in training if you want a lovely wooden shield on your wall!

"It?s gone 0730" is not a good enough reason to be shouting through houseboats. I realise that it is difficult to keep control of your crew as a coach if there is a lot of traffic above Chesterton Footbridge, but we must respect the houseboat owners. Please endeavour to keep your coaches as aware of other river users as possible. Some other housekeeping points: Coaching from the bank above the railway bridge before 0730 is strictly prohibited. Cox-Speak above the railway bridge before 0730 should be kept to minimal commands, and as quiet as possible. If you go out at Lighting Down, you might end up back above the railway bridge before 0730. Repeat early morning noise infractions lead to training bans. Regarding Early Morning Marshalling, as some of you know, we decided to move the EMM kit to Trinity Boathouse and store it outside, to overcome the issue of LMBC ocasionally being locked in the mornings. The other option that came to mind was sending clubs a PDF of the EMM sheets which they could print off as needed, complete, and then hand back to CUCBC. The EMM box has since gone missing, so unless somebody can come up with a sensible alternative (perhaps web-app based with a suggestion of somebody to write it), we?ll be moving to the print-your-own method. If I don?t hear anything by Sunday, I?ll send out the form with further details of how to return it. Once again, can we please get the early morning noise under control.

Li) Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 11:12:43 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Emma Cocktails Message-ID: Dear Captains, I would appreciate it if you could pass this email onto your respective boat clubs. Just a reminder for the details of Emma Cocktails. It starts at 8:30 in upper hall at Emmanuel College. Dress code is smart with blazers welcome. Tickets cost ?10 and the deadline for payment is by the end of tonight. The preferred method of payment is by cheque and bank transfers can be accepted but must be done by 3pm tonight along with a email to the secretary (cs719) confirming payment. The bank account details can also be given with an email to the secretary. The tickets that aren't paid for by the end of today will be sold on the door. Additionally, the tickets given to the winners of their respective divisions will be sold on for ?10 on the door at 9:30pm, so winners must turn up before then. Emma Cocktails is sold out, but those that are still looking to come should turn up at 9:30pm to buy any leftover tickets, with cash or cheque accepted. I would suggest turning up on the dot as tickets tend to be popular and go quickly.

In particular: That the CUCBC Executive Committee shall introduce restrictions on the number of boats that may be on the water between Lighting Down and 0830hrs on Mondays to Fridays in Full Michaelmas and Lent Terms as necessary. These restrictions will be enforced by the Early Morning Marshals. <>That on the date from which restrictions are introduced until further notice, each College Club will only be permitted to have two boats on the river at any one time in the restricted period. <>That this rule will apply to IVs and VIIIs but not to singles, pairs or tubs and will only apply during the hours stated above. <>That fines for a breach of this rule will accrue to the Club, rather than the crew concerned and that any Club in breach of this rule will be fined ?50 for a first offence, ?100 for a second offence, a training ban of one week for the whole Club for a third offence and disqualification from all events organised or insured by CUCBC (including the Lent Bumping Races) in that Term for any subsequent offence. <>That the normal appeal procedures will apply to penalties incurred as a result of breaching these rules.

I've put together a provisional start order a couple of days earlier than I promised. It can be found here: http://jcbc.jesus.cam.ac.uk/old/fairbairns/start_order.php As already mentioned, please please have a good look over this and check that all your crews are where you expected. If you let me know over the next couple of days I've made a silly mistake I'll happily change it. If you let me know on the morning of the regatta I won't, sorry. PAYMENTS: As this list is published before I originally promised, I have generously included on it one or two crews who I've still to receive payment from... You probably know who you are and there's probably a good reason why you haven't paid, but I haven't heard it, so please either pay immediately or let me know why immediately, thank you. PRE-PADDLING: Now, this has become something of a contentious issue... I have told several people who have contacted me that they may not pre-paddle on the morning of either day of the regatta (not even seniors on novice day), as this is clearly set out in the rules and regs. However. After an animated discussion with my own men's captain this morning, I have decided to partially waive this rule for this year only. To be clear: ***Having short outings (pre-paddles) the morning of the regatta day upon which you are due to race (i.e. no seniors on novice day, please, as the novices will be out), so long as you are back at your boathouse by 08:30am at the latest, will now be allowed and will not lead to disqualification. Please bear in mind, however, that both the hours of darkness and the two boat rules are still in effect. Any crews found downstream of the combined boathouses (Cantabs excluded) later than 08:30am will be subject to the same rules as usual.*** If anybody has any queries regarding any of this, please just let me know! Although I'd gently request you to check on the website to see if the information you require is on there (the 'News' section is a good place to look!) before you contact me, please.

In-Reply-To: <88925b1fb068a51ca0afcbaf3ab0ef4c@cam.ac.uk> References: <88925b1fb068a51ca0afcbaf3ab0ef4c@cam.ac.uk> Message-ID: <87f849c0059aab8610ccba6d78ee2eb5@cam.ac.uk> Dear all, Sincere apologies for having to contact you all once again. This email is concerning the section of my previous email setting out the rules regarding pre-paddling for the Fairbairn Cup on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th December. I feel I owe you all an explanation for the barage of emails regarding this and so I have set this out below, however I'm sure most of you will not be interested and so, to cut to the chase; **We are going to have to revert to the interpretation of the rules regarding pre-paddling as enforced in previous years, which means, any crew may boat in the mornings on thursday and friday at any time, so long as they are within the CUCBC rules, etc., before 8:45am** The busy and/or disinterested please stop reading here! The following is an explanation of why you have been receiving contradictory emails about this! The reason I originally wished to rule out all pre-paddles was as follows: I actually believe it is fairer not to allow any pre-paddles. Having a pre-paddle is a benefit (especially for crews in the first division of the day!), so if only certain crews were able to have one and others not then that would be unfair. This is the case for many crews as a direct result of the two boat rule. Particularly for larger colleges with multiple crews it is inevitably the case that some crews will not be able to have a pre-paddle whereas a direct competitor from a smaller college would be able to, simply because they have fewer boats entered. This would be unfair in my eyes. Further, with crews in a single category competing across a range of divisions, again some might be allowed a pre-paddle ahead of others based on their division, which is arbitrary in terms of the results. This was the premise upon which I based my original stance. However. I foolishly partially conceded to the position set out in the email previous to this one, under request, but thus (unintentionally) ruined the logic set out above regarding negating the impact of the two boat rule. Furthermore, the CUCBC committee have quite rightly taken umbrage at my enforcing Fairbairns rules outside of the times of the regatta (although I'd note there is no reason in the rules why entrants cannot be asked to behave in a certain fashion outside of the racing times, in the interest of fairness or any other reason) and, in light of the original benefit of the rule change being ruined, it is obvious that the best course of action is to return to the original interpretation of the rules. Once again, I must take full responsibility for this and I am very sorry for all the inconvenience I have caused you all. I hope everyone is looking forward to taking part in the regatta on thursday and friday! Please continue to send me requests r.e. the start order - I will continue to do my best to accommodate them! Happy paddling! Best wishes, Ben Gallant Fairbairn Cup Secretary 2015 On 2015-11-29 16:13, B.
