[CUCBC Captains] Umpiring Lent Bumps

[Conor Burgess]

*Captains please forward this message to your clubs*

Dear all,

We’re currently about 60% of the way to the number of Umpires we need to run Lents; could I ask you to please pass this message on to anyone who’s eligible and you think might be interested, even if they can only do one day. People who can do the middle divisions (i.e. people not competing in the first divisions) are particularly helpful.

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.

Thanks,
Conor

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!).

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.
