[CUCBC Captains] Captain's meeting notes

[Limeng Zhu]

Dear Captains,
Thanks for attending the pre-bumps meeting, and sorry for the technical
glitch at the start.
Due to workload I can't produce formal minutes, but next best thing here's
a brief notes from the meeting- apologies for the brevity.
---
*CUCBC committee in attendance: *
Luke Pattison (Exec), Kate Shipley (Exec), Tom Grimble (Senior), Limeng Zhu
(Exec), assumed all captains from all clubs.

*Notes- Bumps:*
-Everyone is very excited to do some bumps! But paramount is that it is in
a safe manner and that it runs smoothly.
-Division times are posted on the website, please do check these along with
start orders
Finishes are as described on the website:
http://www.cucbc.org/handbook/racing/bumps
*-Bank parties: maximum three per crew.*
-There to be no handheld cameras, but those firmly mounted to bike/head are
fine
-All appeals need to be raised within 30 minutes of a bumps decision, after
this the result stands.
-No video evidence is admissible, nor will harassment/intimidation/foul
language be tolerated during the appeals process.
-Mudguards and waterproofs are a must given the current forecast.

*Notes- Committee positions*
-We are looking for an Honorary Secretary (to organise CUCBC meetings) and
a number of Events Secretaries (to help run Uni IVs/SBR/Bumps). These are
very fulfilling, voluntary roles very much suited for people with
experience on the cam, who want to make Cambridge rowing better and who
have skills in excel and keeping on top of emails/organisation.
-Please make enquiries to committee at cucbc.org or to any committee member
privately. The tradition of Bumps and university college rowing can only
continue if people step up to make sure the tradition continues.

*Notes- AOB/Q&A:*
Pembroke and Queens'- clarifying M4/W4 split.  M4 will go off first (i.e.
positions 1-9) then W4 (i.e. positions 10-18). This has been the
longstanding tradition as M1 finishes last in Lents.
Catz - queried rules regarding subs, was rejected sub request for rower due
to int'l bagpipe compeition so had to be moved down a division.  Proposal
to amend to be brought to start of easter term's captain's meeting if
wished.
LMBC - queried whether Proposal E from the last meeting would be voted upon
again.  No agenda points were received to ask for another vote, nor did
anyone raise they wanted to vote again this time around. The proposal
stands defeated from the last meeting.
---

A final note to do consider enquiring regarding CUCBC Hon.Sec and Event's
secretary roles. The current workload for the current members are
unsustainable without the Hon Sec and Events Sec roles being filled and
have been seen by the delays in the GoR and Bumps umpiring rotas, and
delays in email replies.

Best,
Lee
