[CUCBC Captains] Umpiring Lent Bumps

[Conor Burgess]

Dear all,

Thanks very much to everyone who has signed up already. Unfortunately we're still about 30 umpires short of being able to run Bumps and 40 short of being able to run bumps successfully with people having nice umpiring slots.

Could Captains please urge eligible people in their clubs to sign up. Remember, the more umpires you willingly provide at slots that suit them, the fewer marshals you will berequiredto provide at potentially problematic time slots.

In the spirit of healthy competition, the club signups look something like this:

Caius 2
Churchill 1
Clare 2
Clare Hall 1
Darwin 4
Emmanuel 6
First&Third 1
Girton 1
King's 1
Lady Margaret 2
Magdalene 1
Murray Edwards 1
Newnham 2
Pembroke 3
Peterhouse 2
Queens' 1
Robinson 3
Selwyn 3
Sidney Sussex 6
St Catharine's 1
St Edmunds 1
Trinity Hall 1
Wolfson 1

However, we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before so that you understand how the races work.
