This is just a reminder that there is a briefing *tomorrow* for any interested coxes on marshalling and racing on Tideway. I'd very very strongly recommend this to any cox planning to race WEHoRR or ManHORR this year. The briefing starts at 7:30pm tomorrow (3rd March), in the Cripps Court Auditorium of Magdalene college. *NB* This isn't within the main college site, but just round the corner on Chesterton Road and can be found on this map: https://map.cam.ac.uk/?inst=magd&loc=2#52.212261,0.116740,17 Captains - I'd be grateful if you could pass on this reminder to any interested coxes who may not be subscribed to the CUCBC cox mailing list.

Message-ID: Dear all, Addies BC is looking for somewhere to store an eight. We understand rack space within a boat house will not be feasible, but would be hugely grateful if anyone had any space e.g. on the grass outside/near their boat house where we could keep our boat?

Will Smith From chair at cucbc.org Tue Mar 17 13:08:09 2020 From: chair at cucbc.org (Dr David Munday) Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 13:08:09 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Captains] CUCBC statement: SBR CANCELLED and other matters. In-Reply-To: References: <914180888.3229955.1584439889138@mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Dear friends, I regret to have to let you know the following, taken in the light of advice from the University and BR and the government: - The Small Boat Regatta is cancelled - refunds will be arranged for those who have entered, in due course. - The Easter term captains' meetings will not be held. - We have not yet been instructed directly to cancel large events, but we will monitor evolving government, BR and University advice over the coming weeks and update you when we have a clearer picture as to the Mays. You will probably have received information via your Colleges about the overall emergency planning in the University, which it is not my business to repeat here, but the CUCBC aims to follow this advice closely, and to be consistent with it: one statement is at https://www.cam.ac.uk/ coronavirus We would like to stress that we're all volunteers and none of us are experts in public health. Clubs must continue to exercise their own judgement and common sense. However, with that said, we have the following thoughts: 1) Our interpretation of the statement by the Prime Minister yesterday evening (specifically that 'now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact with others') is that we would discourage crew outings at the moment. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-statement-on-coronavirus-16-march-2020 . We have also noted the British Rowing guidance issued prior to the government statement, which can be found at https://www.britishrowing.org/2020/03/ceo-update-on-coronavirus-covid-19/ - all BR events are suspended until at least the end of April. 2) There are a few races scheduled in the coming weeks organised by CRA clubs. They will each make their own assessment of whether it is appropriate to postpone or cancel - at the present time the decision as to whether or not to enter is left to individual crews. We understand from informal contacts that many of these races will not run. We will be in touch as and when we have more to say, in the meantime please do what you can to look after yourselves. With all best wishes, David Munday.

I wanted to reach out to you regarding the development squad for this year. As I'm sure you can understand, given the circumstances, there won't be a development squad running as there has been in past years. However, it is imperative for the CUBC that we continue to identify talent within the colleges and assist those identified in developing as athletes in order to hopefully trial for the CUBC in future campaigns, as well as adding significantly to their colleges. To that end, could you please provide me with the *name, 2km score, 5km score and contact email address* of anyone at your college who has shown potential and you think may be interested in this opportunity. If you have already provided me with details of some people then I have these on file and don't need anything further unless there are new people you would like to add. I plan to make contact with those interested in the next few weeks and provide them with some assistance particularly regarding their training programmes, as well as being available to provide advice as and when needed. If you could please get back to me by *Friday 10th April* at the latest that would be fantastic.
