Message-ID: Hi all, Churchill are looking to buy a pair (somewhere between 70-80kg) and so I was wondering whether any club is currently thinking about selling one over the summer? Thanks!

The aim of the course will be to provide those in the first few years of their coaching careers (e.g. LBCs) with materials and concepts to support them in running safe, effective coaching sessions. There will be a cost involved - but as this is the first time the course is being run, it will be done at cost. At this stage I'd simply ask that you say (not by Reply All, please...) whether you would be interested in signing your coaches up, and to give us an idea of numbers that would attend. At this time there is no fixed number of sessions: we can flex the number of sessions to match interest. We'll look forwards to hearing from you soon, Tom Copeland *Introduction to Coaching:* Aspects covered during this course will include: - Understanding who insures coaches - Running safe sessions - Checking equipment before outings - Assessing risk and modifying outings accordingly - Summoning emergency services while on the river - Setting up an athlete's seat (getting the footplate and stretcher right) - Introducing novices to the basics of technique - Designing and implementing drills - Working with novice coxes - Making the most of our river - navigation, traffic, respect for others - Planning and delivering linked sessions Note: First Aid, Safeguarding and Clean Sport will not be in the scope of the session(s), but an overview of the importance of each will be provided and appropriate training providers will be signposted Duration: Either a full day with coffee/lunch breaks, or two/three evening sessions, to suit the schedules of interested parties Dates: To suit clubs/individuals, but would anticipate scheduling around the start of the Michaelmas term (in the weeks before/after 8th October) Cost: As this is the first time we're looking at running this, the aim will be to cover costs (room hire, resources etc.) and will depend on numbers of interested clubs/individuals - but we'll aim for something like ?10-20 per person. The more people that attend, the more that costs can be spread Disclaimer: This is being run by private individuals with a view to helping local coaches improve their practice. This course is not affiliated with any club. I'd rather not have to start a company and take out insurance for everyone attending, but will investigate the legal position on this and act accordingly - we may have to ask people to sign disclaimers, for example. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As it's part time, there would be plenty of opportunity for the candidate to coach College/town crews alongside this role.

Due to noise restrictions, the planned work will be taking place during "normal working hours", i.e. not at night. The phases of work are dredging (to provide enough depth for their working pontoon), removal of the old jetty, sheet piling, tubular piling (for the new jetty), installation of the new jetty, and the bridge lift. The work will entail restricted navigation and some river closures. The restrictions will be a boomed area at the P&E where they will mobilise plant machinery, and a boomed area around the working zone under the railway bridge which will restrict the navigation to no more than half the width of the river. River closures will be entailed when plant machinery is being moved to and from the working area, and for some operations, for example, installation of the middle section of the jetty. We believe the Council is still negotiating with the Conservancy over the timetable for these works, but they could start from Monday 5th August. We will update Captains before the start of the Michaelmas term with any likely impact on navigation during the University Term, but in the meantime, if any college crews are planning outings during August or September, please be aware of the possibility that the river downstream of the P&E may be closed without notice at times during the day. Best wishes, Matthew -- Matthew Temple CUCBC Exec. Committee
