[CUCBC Captains] Various information FAO captains

[Limeng Zhu]

Dear Captains,
A few updates, including Bumps:

*Emails:*
Again our apologies for the various email issues. Someone techhy is
investigating what's going on, and we thought we had fixed it late last
night- evidently not.
An archive of the emails that we and others have tried to send to captains
can be found here:
http://lists.cucbc.org/pipermail/captains_lists.cucbc.org/
Until we fix the issue, please can you copy/paste the recipients from this
email if you need to contact captains- it should reach everyone; apologies
for the faff, especially those working hard to organise races this term.

*Clarification of 15 minute rule:*
Thanks for the email enquiries- to clarify the 15 minute rule is for first
Eights only (i.e. VIII boats, not IV boats with first crew in it). The
rationale of the 15 minute rule in Lent term is to get first eights away as
quickly as possible. Whilst there will be variation in speeds of first
VIIIs, we restrict the rule because allowing first crew IVs (or smaller
boats) would cause a markedly larger variation in speeds. This compromises
the purpose of the 15 minute rule, and risks forcing us to use further
measures if traffic doesn't improve.
To clarify, only first VIIIs are allowed out in the first 15 minutes of
lighting down; any ineligible boats caught/reported out in the first 15
minutes (i.e. second boats, smaller boats) will be fined.

*Lent Bumps Entries Open:*
Please see below a message from Conor-

Dear all,

Entries for Lent Bumps 2022 are now open on the CUCBC website - you will
need your CUCBC website captain login to access the entry form. Entries
will remain open until Sunday 13th February at 23:45. Please try to make
these crews as accurate as you can, but you can update your crew members
after the deadline if need be (we just need to know crew numbers early so
we can plan accordingly).

Once entries have closed, Dr Dan Wilkins (CUCBC Senior Treasurer) will
issue your CUCBC bills, which will include a charge of £45 per crew, plus
any outstanding charges against your club. Your bill will include payment
details. Payment will be due by 21st February, so please be prepared to
organise payment promptly once you receive your bill.

Best wishes,
-----
Details of umpire sign-up will be circulated closer to to the time by Conor,



All best,
Lee
