From matthew at cucbc.org Mon Oct 1 17:05:47 2018 From: matthew at cucbc.org (Matthew Temple) Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 18:05:47 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Start of Term Captains' Meeting and Uni 4s Message-ID: Dear Captains, The start of term Captains' meeting will take place on Sunday 7th October at 5pm in the Long Room at Murray Edwards College. The agenda will be circulated in due course, but if you have any items you would like to raise then please let me know in the next few days. The University IVs 2018 will run from Monday 22nd October to Friday 26th October. Entries will open shortly after the Captains' meeting, and will close on Friday 12th October. Entries must be made by college Captains through the CUCBC website. All competing crews will be expected to provide marshals to ensure the safe running of the regatta. This email is being sent to the Contacts list in case any incoming Captains are yet to receive their CUCBC email logins from their predecessors - if this applies to you then please ensure that your email and website logins are handed over ASAP. All Captains should check their CUCBC email regularly, ideally every day. Finally, we have already received complaints of excessive noise from coxes on the river before 07:30 - please ensure your crews and coaches are aware of the usual early morning noise restrictions, and in particular, the need to keep coxboxes turned down to a minimum before 07:30.

Sec. for the coming year. We are accepting nominations for this position up until 48 hours before Sunday?s meeting (so 17:00 on Friday). If you know of anyone who might be interested, please do encourage them to come forwards. Even if they decide not to stand this year, there?s always next year to think of! Please also find attached the CUCBC Captains Consultation on upcoming rule changes (and please accept my apologies for not sending this out over the summer). If you have any thoughts on this you?d like to share before the meeting, feel free to reply to this email (with your choice of CC - I?m happy to take comments directly to put them forward anonymously, or I?d encourage you to CC the two committees if you?re happy to do so. Of course, if you want the other Captains to see your message to give them time to think it over before the meeting, feel free to CC them too). Please note we won?t be proposing any actual rule changes at this meeting; this is just to prompt discussion. The full agenda is therefore: Apologies for absence Election of CUCBC Chair Election of CUCBC Hon Sec.

Because there was so much discussion, please can everyone that was there check that they match your memories of what was said and especially that they are a fair representation of what you said, and let me know of any issues before I upload them to the website. If I have misrepresented you or didn't note down your comments at all, apologies - it was not deliberate, I promise! All clubs should have valid insurance showing on their club information page on the CUCBC website. (Log into the website with your captain's login; there will be a menu on the right hand side of the page, with a heading such as newhall.women; click on 'My Club Information Form'.) All details on this page should be up to date, but in particular at the bottom of the page are details of your club's insurance. If the Renewal Date is in red and shows a date in the past, and is not updated by *the end of this Wednesday 10th October*, *your club will not be allowed to boat* until you are shown as having valid insurance. If you have problems accessing the captains' part of the website, email Dan Wilkins at webmaster at cucbc.org; if you have a legitimate reason for not being able to update your insurance details before Thursday, email Mark Jacobs at mark at cucbc.org.

The deadline for this would usually be the end of week 1 (i.e. yesterday). Having been slow to put out the initial notice though, I'll extend this to Sunday evening. If you've not already done so, you'll need to log in to the CUCBC website and update your club's insurance information. Anyone who has not done this by Sunday will not be permitted to boat until it's done and I've checked it. There'll be other stuff to do later in term too, more on that later... Any questions, let me know. Regards, Mark Jacobs CUCBC Safety Advisor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(And the lights have to be switched on, and they have to have charged batteries...) I appreciate it's early in term, and that many clubs may well have removed their lights since last time they needed them in February, but it does make a significant difference to visibility in the early morning and with the number of crews on the water, it's actually a real help to coxes trying to avoid unnecessary collisions. This is doubly true if (as with this morning) there's a significant amount of fog on the water for the first part of outings. Please do take a few minutes over the next few days to check your equipment is mounted so it can be seen, and that it still works.

All competing clubs are required to provide marshals. Failure to provide your allocated marshals will result in your club not being allowed to compete, as marshals are essential to the safe running of the event. Marshals should be senior rowers or coxes, and will need a bike. They should meet at the Railway Bridge at the start of their slot. If you need to swap your marshalling slot with another club then you must email me, copying in a representative from both crews involved in the swap, to confirm that both parties are happy with the change. Further information about the running of the event is in the attached document - captains please ensure this is forwarded to all competing crews/coxes and their bank parties. Please pay careful attention to your marshalling times and locations - we are running a tight schedule and can't accommodate late crews. Most importantly, all crews should carry lights for the row home on every day of racing.

Entries are now open until 11th November. The entry form and all additional information are available here: http://ebc.soc.srcf.net/sprints/ Get keen as this is the first race of the Novice calendar and a great introduction to racing. Racing this year will be as last year, with every crew having at least two races. We anticipate a good turnout and with the standard fancy dress, mince pies, and exciting racing, this event is not to be missed! Division winners will receive free tickets to Emma Cocktails. I'll be uploading the draw on the website as soon as possible after the deadline, along with live results as the racing unfolds. Standard safety rules apply: heel restraints in place, life jackets for coxes, and correctly fitted bow balls, and we reserve the right to turn away any crew we deem 'unsafe' with no refund of entry fee. Tickets are now on sale for Emma Cocktails that takes place on the evening of Sunday 18th. It's a great way for competitors to relax after a hard day of racing, and a good way for senior rowers to get to know (and hopefully celebrate the victories of) their novice crews. Unlimited alcohol and some live music all for only ?10. Tickets can be purchased via the cocktails page here: http://ebc.soc.srcf.net/sprints/emma-cocktails/. *Row-throughs* Any seniors crews wanting to row through after 11am should let me know through this form: https://goo.gl/forms/CszMn2OtErnSwQR92 (also available on the website), slots are limited and will be offered on a first come first serve basis.

Comments sent to me after the meeting have been incorporated as promised. Secondly, we have had numerous complaints from town clubs recently about boats without adequate lights. If you are boating within 15 minutes of lighting down, or it is foggy (use common sense here, but if it is yellow flagged for fog as it was last week, that is foggy enough to need lights) you must have *bright* lights at both bow and stern. If visibility is poor - as it is shortly after lighting down, or in fog - and you do not have lights visible to other crews on the river, you are posing a danger both to yourselves and to others. Please could you ask your Early Morning Marshals to report all boats without adequate lights - whether lacking them altogether, too dim, or pointing the wrong way - so that we can take appropriate action. On the subject of EMMs, a reminder that sheets should be uploaded via the link on the website or, failing that, emailed to cucbc at cucbc.org by 5pm on the day of the shift. If this isn't possible, I would appreciate a message explaining why the sheets will be delayed, and when we can expect them. Any other problems - including problems with filling your EMM slot - please email in advance. Providing marshals is necessary for the safety of all those on the river and good relations with those who live around us. It is not optional. The instructions for EMMs have been updated and can be found on the website here . The rota for providing EMMs is here . Many thanks to yesterday's marshal for pointing out an inconsistency in the instructions. The major difference is in the locations of the two marshals; those clubs providing marshals this week (Fitzwilliam, Sidney Sussex, Caius, Clare Hall, Trinity Hall and Murray Edwards), please make your marshals aware of the changes and ask them to check the instructions before arriving for their shift. A final note: the clocks go back this weekend, so from next week senior boats will have over an hour on the river before novice boating time. In the meantime, there will be a lot of traffic in the mornings. Please be courteous, respectful and considerate: maintain a sensible distance from other boats, do not overtake if you cannot see that it is safe to do so (e.g. if it will result in you being on the wrong side of the river with nowhere to slot back into the queue), and do not needlessly cause traffic behind you by proceeding slower than you could reasonably do.

Message-ID: Dear all, Christ's College Boat Club are going to have a training day away from the Cam on Sunday 4th November. In order to complete our fleet of boats, we need two more senior rowers (one male and one female) and a cox. In greater detail, we'll be heading to the Peterborough rowing lake to make the most of a quiet, straight stretch of water. We'll benefit from fantastic coaching and a queue-free lake. It promises to be a great day out for the club (and for you!). We leave Cambridge on a coach at 7am and return around 5pm. If you would be interested in joining us, please get in touch!

URL: From izzy at cucbc.org Wed Oct 31 18:04:31 2018 From: izzy at cucbc.org (Isabel Nimmo) Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2018 18:04:31 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Interest in a novice cox meeting? Message-ID: Dear Captains, I've been approached by a few captains/coaches over the last few weeks asking if CUCBC are willing/able to reintroduce our old coxing meeting for novices. As a brief overview, there used to be a CUCBC meeting for interested novice coxes and LBCs on the basics of the coxing role, some tips on coxing an outing and rules of the Cam, and some pointers on how LBCs can more effectively coach novice coxes (since most LBCs are rowers). It lapsed since the role was largely being covered by individual college coxing captains and wasn't terribly popular. However, this is something we're quite happy to run again if there's interest. It would be run on a strictly voluntary basis in terms of attendance, and does not in any way replace the Clare Novices or Fairbairn briefings. But if you feel this would be of use/interest to any of your novices/LBCs, would you be able to drop me a reply with a rough indication of how many (if any!) of your members might be interested? (Or if there are any other topics you feel it would be useful to have addressed). Many thanks, Isabel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
