From izzy at cucbc.org Tue Feb 4 11:59:00 2020 From: izzy at cucbc.org (Isabel Nimmo) Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2020 11:59:00 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] Cox briefings for Lent bumps Message-ID: Dear captains, We are currently in the process of sorting a venue (and thus exact time) but this is a brief heads up that the cox briefings for Lent bumps will be held on the evening of the 23rd of Feb. I'll be sending a message round the cox and contacts lists shortly, but I'm aware that not all of your coxes are likely to be signed up to either of those. If you could let them know of the following (and that novices do need to be available that evening) I'd be very grateful. Novice coxes (defined as those who have not competed *as a cox* in a set of CUCBC* run bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive prior permission to miss it from the CUCBC Safety Officer. Senior coxes (those who have competed before) may be represented by another *senior* cox, provided that representative undertakes to brief them in turn before the start of racing. Members of bank parties and rowers who'd like a bit more insight into what their coxes might be doing are very welcome to attend either (or both!) briefings. Best wishes, Isabel * CUCBC rules are somewhat different to CRA, Torpids, Eights and Oxford town bumps, so I'm afraid they don't count. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please note that we?ve had a very large entry this year, and we are limited to seven divisions by the time the university will let us start the races and daylight hours, so unfortunately there?s going to be a lot of competition for places in the Getting-On Race. The Getting-On Race will be held in the afternoon of Friday 21st February. There will be three divisions. More details will be confirmed soon. Please also note that ARU M1, Addenbrooke?s M1, Clare Hall W1 and ARU W1 are all artificially higher up than they will be in the final start order; crews which were taken off from above them and who successfully regain their place in the Getting-On race will go back on ahead of them. The scratch deadlines are as follows: The deadline for scratching completely for a full refund is Wednesday 19th Feb at 17:00. The deadline for scratching completely for a half refund is Thursday 20th Feb at 17:00. If you would like to switch a crew to racing for time only, you are eligible for a half refund so long as you tell us by Thursday 20th Feb at 17:00. Crews which haven?t scratched and don?t race will still be charged the full entry fee. Finally, please pre-order Bumps Programmes using this form: https://forms.gle/cUDeZ2oYc6TnjPfu7 Pre-ordered programmes will be billed to your next CUCBC bill at ?3.50 each (normal price ?4.00). The deadline to pre-order programmes is 17:00 on Thursday 20th Feb. Best wishes, Conor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action - either by cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire along the course. As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires are offered a free dinner (including drinks) at a pub the week after Bumps. Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring before Saturday 15th February will count towards their college's marshal allocation (if you sign up after this, please drop me an email!). You don't need to have umpired before. There will be a briefing for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' one during racing. 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. Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave two divisions clear before your race and one after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here: https://www.cucbc.org/lents/times The umpires briefing will be on Sunday 23rd February at 18:30 in Emmanuel College. It'll last about forty minutes, and I?ll endeavour to distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting. You can sign up here: http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at conor at cucbc.org Many thanks, Conor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Could I ask you to pass this on to any relevant coxes in your clubs please? The cox safety briefings for Lent Bumps will be held in the QB Lecture Theatre in Emmanuel college on Sunday 23rd. If you show up at the p'lodge a couple of minutes early then it's well signposted from there (or just follow the crowds of small people in boaty stash). The Senior briefing will be held at 19:15, and the Novice briefing will be held at 19:45 (and should be done by 20:30). *Novice coxes* (defined as those who have not competed *as a cox* in a set of CUCBC* run bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive prior permission to miss it from the CUCBC Safety Officer. *Senior coxes* (those who have competed as a cox before) may be represented by another *senior *cox, provided that representative signs in and undertakes to brief them in turn before the start of racing. *Bank party, rowers, coaches* - you're all very welcome to come along too. Many of you have been doing this far longer than I, but if you're new to bumps and want an idea of what your cox is (*or maybe should...*) be doing, it's a big lecture theatre. Feel free to join in! Best wishes, Isabel * CUCBC rules are somewhat different to CRA, Torpids, Eights and Oxford town bumps, so I'm afraid they don't count. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, CUCBC are trying to organise our usual briefing on Steering on Tideway for any clubs planning on putting crews into WEHORR or ManHORR. I have an experienced Tideway cox willing to give a talk on how to get the most out of the stream and conditions, but am on the hunt for a venue. Do any of you have access to a room we could borrow for this purpose? In terms of details, she's available on Tuesday the 3rd March (4 days before WEHoRR), and was suggesting 7:30pm. We'd need a room capable of holding 50+ coxes, and with a projector and screen. Would anyone be able to help out please?

You can however squeeze a quick outing in after the final division (which starts at 14:00)?and should be finished around 15:00?with some contingency), but please liaise with the marshals as you approach the Green Dragon (Chesterton) footbridge to ensure you don?t row onto the course before the final division has actually finished. Alternatively, Jess has some spaces left, particularly in the fourth division, so you could enter the race here. It?s 2.6km upstream from the A14 Bridge, and entries cost ?8 a seat (exc. coxes).

Anyone who signs up in the next two days will count towards their college?s marshalling allocation; i.e. every person you find who?s willing to do an interesting and fun job means roughly one fewer person you have to convince to sit on the bank doing something less interesting and less fun.

Please note: - One form per club - not one per crew, or for your men and women separately. - Only outings in VIIIs count, not IVs or small boats. - No need to print and physically sign, just fill in and return electronically. - Please email the document back, don't send me a link to an online location. All forms must be returned by Thursday, so that we know who is eligible to race and therefore which crews need to take part in the GoR (and which crews retain places automatically). There's no strict requirement that every member of a crew has to have done all 12 sessions, but I expect every qualifying outing to be recognisable as the crew it relates to. Having a pair of M3 rowers subbing into your M2 does not mean it counts as an M3 outing! I would expect all coxes to have done almost all sessions, but for any cox falling under 12 outings with their crew I'm happy to deal with on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances.

If your crew needs to swap divisions, you must find a crew from another division to swap with, as we?re pushing the limits of how many crews we can run in each division. Row throughs by non-competing crews will not be permitted due to the weather forecast, which is for very strong winds. The conditions will likely be very much yellow flag, so coxes will need to be very alert and keep control of their crew at all times. We will be leaving comfortable gaps between crews to account for the conditions.

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. >> >> Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave two divisions clear before your race and one after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here: https://www.cucbc.org/lents/times >> >> The umpires briefing will be on Sunday 23rd February at 18:30 in Emmanuel College. It'll last about forty minutes, and I?ll endeavour to distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting. >> >> You can sign up here: http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup >> >> If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at conor at cucbc.org >> >> Many thanks, >> Conor > -- > Umpires_lents2019 mailing list > Umpires_lents2019 at lists.cucbc.org > http://lists.cucbc.org/mailman/listinfo/umpires_lents2019_lists.cucbc.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you show up at the p'lodge a couple of minutes early then it's well signposted from there (or just follow the crowds of small people in boaty stash). The Senior briefing will be held at 19:15, and the Novice briefing will be held at 19:45 (and should be done by 20:30). Anyone planning to cox, even if as a substitute, needs to be briefed as set out below. *Novice coxes* (defined as those who have not competed *as a cox* in a set of CUCBC* run bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive prior permission to miss it from the CUCBC Safety Officer. *Senior coxes* (those who have competed as a cox before) may be represented by another *senior *cox, provided that representative signs in and undertakes to brief them in turn before the start of racing. *Bank party, rowers, coaches* - you're all very welcome to come along too. Many of you have been doing this far longer than I, but if you're new to bumps and want an idea of what your cox is (*or maybe should...*) be doing, it's a big lecture theatre. Feel free to join in! Best wishes, Isabel * CUCBC rules are somewhat different to CRA, Torpids, Eights and Oxford town bumps, so I'm afraid they don't count. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ro Thompson has agreed to run a briefing for any interested coxes on the 3rd of March (the Tuesday after bumps) at 7:30pm in the Cripps Court Auditorium at Magdalene college. Racing on the Tideway is not like the Cam - the stream makes positioning of your shell much more important when racing, and marshalling is considerably more complex (though no less chaotic...) I can thoroughly recommend this talk to anyone, whether they've raced on the Tideway before or not. Ro has been coxing for 15 years, including three years training on the Tideway with Vesta Rowing Club based in Putney. She has four Tideway pennants, three from WeHORR and one from HORR. Whilst as Vesta she coxed the top womens crew to 3rd and 4th place in WeHORR and raced twice in the elite womens 8s event at Henley Royal Regatta. So she is very well placed to offer guidance on handling racing on the Thames. I will absolutely be attending, and I'd strongly urge any college coxes planning to race this year to come along too. Best wishes for the last day of training, and for racing this week, Isabel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is not necessary to hold it up after completing an overtake bump. Instead, just wind down and pull in. Crews should carry on rowing upon being bumped until they are clear of the bumping boat. Failure to do so puts your own cox in danger. It is the responsibility of all coxes to know where their finish is, and ensure they wind down once their whole boat has passed it. This is of upmost importance at Top Finish, and under no circumstances should any crew be racing into the Green Dragon footbridge. Could all cyclists please be considerate of other towpath users. There isn't a towpath closure; we need to share it with commuters, dog walkers, etc. Fines Corpus W1 - Incredibly slow to clear - ?40 Corpus W2 - Easying upon being bumped - ?40 Corpus - Failure to provide a marshal - ?15 Emmanuel M2 - Failure to hold it up - ?30 Homerton - Failure to provide a marshal - ?15 LMBC M2 - Illegal practice start - ?15 Magdalene W1 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 Selwyn - Failure to provide a marshal - ?15 All fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer (seniortreasurer at cucbc.org ), within 48 hours of this email being sent.

St Catharine?s College Boat Club is delighted to announce the 2020 Catz Cardinals Regatta on Thursday 12th March, promising to be the most fun and ridiculous race of the year! The races will start at 10:00am and finish around 4:30pm (provisional times depending on the number of entries). The boats will be a mix of Eights, Fours and Tubs, with prizes for the best dressed boats and crews! Boats should aim to be mixed crews. The finals and semi-finals will be as exciting and strange as always with duel style races. Crews will race away from each other before being forced to spin as fast as possible before charging back towards each other to the middle of the reach. Catz Cardinals is the only race on the river in which you can enter tub pairs! To make this year?s edition a success in all categories, make sure you encourage as many fellow rowers as possible to start thinking about entering. The deadline for entries is midnight on Monday 9th March 2020.

Please see attached poster regarding our BUCS dev squad. To get involved there will be a 2k ergo test next Thursday (5th March). Please encourage those with the potential to trial who are likely to achieve the guideline ergo scores to sign up for a testing time here . From the information gathered and ergo score we are hoping to select beginner eights (Womens and Mens) and intermediate fours (Womens and Mens) to race at BUCS which is a national six lane regatta over 2000m held in Nottingham. We aim to begin training from 8th April if possible. Coxes interested in coxing dev squad and show interest in trialing next year please get in touch with me. Include your college, experience, years coxing, what you think your main strength is and what you?d like to improve. It?d be great to see coxes at the ergo testing to help with set up and clearing away, recording scores and generally help out. Any further questions please get in touch!

Notes from the Umpires? Conditions on Saturday are going to be very windy. The Chief Umpires will assess conditions in the morning, but hope to be able to run all divisions. However, coxes will need to be alert, and bank parties will need to be ready to assist with pulling their crews not only during racing, but also at marshalling and at the start. Following a serious incident today, the Chief Umpires have taken the decision to ban all handheld video recording by bank parties. Mounted cameras on handlebars / helmets / pannier racks etc. are all fine, but handheld phones or GoPros etc. will not be permitted. Crews which bump out downstream of the Railway Bridge are reminded that they MUST stop downstream of the Railway Bridge on the way home, and they must remain there (perhaps held on the bank by bank parties with the wind tomorrow) until crews from the division ahead have pushed off the bank and rowed down to the start. Bank parties are strictly limited to four cyclists. Please ensure your bank parties know who is cycling and who is not.

This follows a serious crash yesterday at the head of a division in the Gut, which had the potential to checkmate the entire division, as well as causing personal injury to the cyclist and the person they crashed into. This ban covers the row down to the start, the races themselves and the row home. Mounted cameras are fine, but cyclists must not be holding cameras. CUCBC will decide between now and the Mays if this ban is to be permanent, which would be in line with CRA events. Please pass this on to your bank parties. Infringements will be met with a polite request to stop, followed by a ?75 dangerous bank party fine.
