[CUCBC Captains] Informal coxes "chat"/forum on racing bumps tomorrow 18th 6:15pm

[Limeng Zhu]

Dear Coxes,
A reminder of the coxes' chat tonight at 6:15pm-
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_MmI3Zjk1YzgtNjk5MC00ZWEyLWEzZGUtMmUyZDMwYmU5MWJl%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2249a50445-bdfa-4b79-ade3-547b4f3986e9%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22ab3f3315-03e3-4f58-ac11-187531aee812%22%7d
After a quick introduction , we will be covering the following
-Preparing the crews before the day
-What to do on the day: on the row up and racing- practice starts, the
bung, racing the corners, the bump
-How to prepare for this in the final few outings before bumps.
-Q&A

A couple people have asked if we can record this meeting; as this meeting
is very 'ad-hoc', unstructured and will be heavily guided by Q&A from those
attending, it won't be recorded. You are welcome to ask us questions in
advance of the meeting, or have someone else come to the meeting with your
questions on coxing.

Being very aware that openly asking questions in a big meeting is daunting,
we will be using slido for anyone who wishes to ask questions anonymously,
which will then be read out.

All best,
