Please also find attached detailed information for competition crews, which includes marshalling instructions - please ensure all coxes and bank parties have read these instructions carefully, these can also be accessed through the Getting-On Race webpage. We are aware of the large number of exams taking place on Friday 10th and appreciate that many crews will have a preference to race in the later (6:30 pm) division, we are however limited by the number of crews we can safely run in each division - the current split of crews between the two divisions has been made randomly and equally for Mens? and Womens? boats. If your crew needs to swap divisions, it would help us if you could find a crew from the other division to swap with, swaps will need to be confirmed by both clubs concerned via email (to committee at cucbc.org ) before 5pm on Thursday 9th June. If you wish to scratch a crew, the deadlines for informing us, by emailing commitee at cucbc.org , are as follows: The deadline for scratching completely for a full refund is Wednesday 8th June at 17:00. The deadline for scratching completely for half a refund is Thursday 9th June at 17:00. If you would like to switch a crew to racing for time only, you are eligible for a half refund so long as you tell us by Thursday 9th June at 17:00. Crews which haven?t scratched and don?t race will still be charged the full entry fee.

I?ll attempt to explain the process now: The number of lower boats each college enters year to year changes the most, after entries close the Senior Committee have to make a decision on how many divisions to run based on the number of entries, this year there will be 9 divisions. The composition of Women?s and Men?s crews in the split division is based on the proportion of entries from Womens? and Mens? crews - this year the 9th division will comprise of 6 Women's crews and 12 Men?s crews. CUCBC then take off an equal number of boats as those ?new' entries for the Women?s and Men?s competitions, up to a max. of 18 to determine which crews must race the Getting-On to ?qualify? for the main Bumps races. Due to the number of divisions and entries from Women's and Men?s crews changing each year (including the loss of crews that competed in the last round of Bumps, but did not enter this year), the the cut off point for determining which crews have to compete in the Getting-On race will change each year - i.e. crews are not guaranteed their place in Bumps if they finished 17 positions from the foot of their competition the last time Bumps was run. Those crews required to race the Getting-On race this year, who have a position from May Bumps 2019, will be put back on the 2022 start order where they finished in 2019, if they are among the crews that ?qualify? for Mays 2022; new entries that ?qualify? will be inserted to the bottom of their competition randomly. Hopefully that explains why some of the crews you expected not to have to compete in the Getting-On race will have to qualify for Bumps this year.

Bumps is not possible without the help of volunteers to fill umpire positions, umpires are critical for ensuring the safety and fairness of races. Due to many sets of bumps having to be cancelled in recent years, umpires are all the more important, so if you are eligible (more details below) please do consider signing up! Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing, you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action - either by cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire along the course. As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires are also offered a free dinner (including drinks) at a pub the week after Bumps (details to follow). Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring by Sunday 12th June will count towards their college's marshal allocation (if you sign up after Wednesday 15th June, please drop us an email, or we may miss you off the rota!). You don't need to have umpired before to sign up. There will be a briefing for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything, all new umpires are also paired with a 'senior' during racing. However, we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps (Lents, Mays, or Towns) before so that you understand how the races work. Unfortunately, given the unique nature of Bumps, last years? June Eights Regatta experience is not sufficient. The umpires briefing will be in the early evening of Sunday 12th June - exact time TBC. It'll last about thirty-forty minutes, and we?ll endeavour to distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting. Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave two divisions clear before your race and one after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here: https://www.cucbc.org/mays/times Please sign up here: http://www.cucbc.org/mays/umpires/signup If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact.

If there are any Getting-On race crews that have been unable to secure a division swap and/or request eligible subs for the race, so have no alternative but to scratch, please let us know (also via email) - if you have already been in touch about this, please could you confirm your situation has not changed. Finally, we?ve had a few questions about row-throughs during the Getting-On race. CUCBC will take control of navigation at 5 pm on Friday. If eligible boats would like to hop the lock between GoR divisions please me know (luke at cucbc.org ) - we will ask you to marshal with the boats racing in the second GoR division, you can then row down ahead of the racing crews to land at Baitsbite before the second division starts - we can only save a space for you if we know to expect you though. There will also be a single combined hour, for Womens? and Mens? 1st VIIIs and VIIs in the 1st and 2nd Division of May Bumps, after the Getting-On race on Friday from 19:30 - 20:30.

Please note: - We ask that you complete and return one form per club (not one per crews, or for your women and men separately). - Only outings in VIIIs count, not IVs or small boats. - No need to print and physically sign, just fill in and return electronically. There's no strict requirement that every member of a crew has to have done all 12 sessions, but we expect every qualifying outing to be recognisable as the crew it relates to. Having a pair of M3 rowers subbing into your M2 does not mean it counts as an M3 outing! We would expect all coxes to have done almost all sessions, but for any cox falling under 12 outings with their crew, we will happy to deal with on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances. Any questions or problems please email the committee (committee at cucbc.org ). A note also that on Sunday, there will be the usual pre-bumps captain?s meeting and coxes? safety briefings. Further information will be circulated about these soon. Best wishes, Luke -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dear college coxes (apologies to everyone else on these lists...), The cox safety briefings for May Bumps will take place on Sunday 12th June. We are hoping that these will take place in person - we hope to confirm this, as well as the location of the briefings soon). The Senior briefing will be held at 19:30, and the Novice briefing will be held at 20:00 (and should be done by 20:40). Novice coxes (defined as those who have not competed as a cox in a set of CUCBC* run bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive prior permission to miss it from the CUCBC Safety Officer. Senior coxes (those who have competed before) may be represented by another senior cox, provided that representative signs in and undertakes to brief them in turn before the start of racing. Bank party, rowers, coaches - you're all very welcome to come along too. Many of you have been doing this far longer than I, but if you're new to bumps and want an idea of what your cox is (or maybe should...) be doing, feel free to join in! Attendance at the briefings will be taken: The named cox, or a senior cox attending the briefing on behalf of another senior cox, must sign-in for each competing crew - failure to do so may result in crews being unable to race next week. If you are required to attend a briefing and know that you will not be able to make the allocated times, please get in touch with us ASAP. Best wishes, Isabel and Luke * CUCBC rules are somewhat different to CRA, Torpids, Eights and Oxford town bumps, so I'm afraid they don't count. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hello college coxes, We can now confirm that the coxes safety briefings will be take place in person in the McCrum Lecture Theatre at Corpus Christi College. Please note that the lecture theatre is not within the ?main site? of Corpus and is instead on Bene?t Street - you?ll find the entrance in the courtyard of The Eagle pub (through the red gates next door to Jack?s Gelato). A reminder that senior coxes (those who have competed in CUCBC bumps before) should attend at 7:30 pm. Novice coxes (those that have not competed in CUCBC bumps before) must attend at 8 pm.

We are hoping that these will take place in person - we hope to confirm this, as well as the location of the briefings soon). The Senior briefing will be held at 19:30, and the Novice briefing will be held at 20:00 (and should be done by 20:40). > > Novice coxes (defined as those who have not competed as a cox in a set of CUCBC* run bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive prior permission to miss it from the CUCBC Safety Officer. > > Senior coxes (those who have competed before) may be represented by another senior cox, provided that representative signs in and undertakes to brief them in turn before the start of racing. > > Bank party, rowers, coaches - you're all very welcome to come along too.

Allocations are based on the number of crews you entered and the number of umpires signed up from your club. Those filling marshal slots should have ideally competed in at least one set of Bumps before, although anyone who knows their way along the towpath and who can pull in a boat without breaking off its bowball should be competent enough. Marshals are asked to arrive and sign in at the control desk (at the P&E) 10 minutes before their slot. Failure to provide marshals will result in (escalating) fines, and in the worst case result in us being unable to run races. If your club cannot fill a particular marshal slot, you may swap it with another college, but you must obtain their agreement and then email committee at cucbc.org (CCing the other club) to inform us of the swap.

There were several severe failures to clear, causing interruptions in racing and resulting in several technical rowovers being awarded. Please remind all of your crews that they must continue rowing upon being bumped - not least because it keeps their cox safe! No runners with bank-parties Handheld filming by cyclists is banned at all times (including the row down to the start - the towpath can be just as busy in both directions!) and with all handheld devices (including selfie sticks). Cameras which are mounted to helmets or bike handles are permitted. Coxes - please take a look behind you before clearing to help you to decide which side to clear to, and if reasonably possible row on rather than park on a corner. The inside of Grassy is not a nice place to be while a division races past! Please keep moving when you're rowing down to the start, unless queueing. Fines Caius M3 - illegal practice start underneath the Railway Bridge - ?15 Caius W4 - Boating without a lifejacket - ?50 Churchill M3 - Breaking the handle off a blade during the start - Please put your excessive strength to better use tomorrow by helping CUCBC clear branches away from the towpath Clare M2 - Handheld filming - ?50 Clare Hall W1 - Handheld filming - ?50 Corpus M2 - Serious failure to clear - ?50 Emmanuel W1 - Excessive bank party (first offence) - ?30 Emmanuel W1 - Excessive bank party (second offence) - ?45 First & Third M3 - Foul and abusive language by bank-party - ?30 First & Third W1 - Foul and abusive language by bank-party - ?30 Fitzwilliam W1 - Early celebration - ?20 Jesus - Failure to provide a marshal (first offence) - ?15 Jesus W3 - Late concession - ?40 King?s M2 - Handheld filming - ?50 King?s W1 - Excessive bank-party (first offence) - ?30 Lady Margaret - Failure to provide a marshal (first offence) - ?15 Lady Margaret M2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 Magdalene M3 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 Murray Edwards W1 - Serious failure to clear - ?50 Newnham W2 - Dropped bung, slight advantage, no impact on result - ?15 Peterhouse - Failure to provide a marshal (first offence) - ?15 Peterhouse M3 - Slow to clear - ?30 Peterhouse M3 - Early celebration - ?20 Peterhouse W1 - Excessive bank-party (first offence) - ?30 Selwyn M3 - Serious failure to clear - ?50 St Catharine?s W3 - Late to marshalling & dangerously incompetent marshalling - ?50 St Catharine?s M3 - Excessive bank-party (first offence) - ?30 St Catharine?s M3 - Excessive bank-party (second offence) - ?45 St Catharine?s M3 - Handheld filming - ?50 Wolfson M1 - Serious failure to clear - ?50 Fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dr Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer (seniortreasurer at cucbc.org ) within 48 hours of this email being sent.

The results of Thursday's races are available here: www.cucbc.org/mays Notes from the Umpires - Thank you to all of the clubs with marshalling slots today - we had a full complement, which contributed to everything running smoothly. - It is going to be extremely hot tomorrow. Crews, but in particular bank parties, marshals and umpires who will be by the river for a long time are strongly encouraged to bring plenty of water, suncream, and a hat. Seeking shade wherever possible is also strongly encouraged. We can be flexible with asking crews to get back into boats a bit later, but only if those instructions are followed promptly. - An electronic device was handed in at control. If the owner can make themselves known and describe it sufficiently accurately / prove ownership, we?ll be happy to return it. - Upon bumping, coxes and coaches should assess what's going on behind them. Unless there's a crew in close proximity there will likely be time and space enough to paddle on a little way to a safe bit of bank. We saw a lot of crews today clearing to the inside line on corners who did not have to park up in those potentially hazardous places. - Crews being bumped must row on, to prevent injury to your own cox - Crews bumping must hold it up to allow separation of both boats. The crew must then row on to clear the racing line, and not start celebrating. - Handheld filming while cycling is banned at all times, including on the row down. The towpath is busy enough without cyclists who are not paying full attention to where they are going. - Both umpires and members of the public reported crews urinating in public, which we should remember is illegal. Portaloos are provided at the control desk, please do not urinate in public.

All divisions run two hours earlier tomorrow. Please ensure you arrive at the correct times! The towpath is likely to be very busy. Please remind all bank parties, coaches, marshals etc. to take care when cycling (particularly as it may also be wet). Please remind all members of your boat clubs that if they are spectating along the course, they MUST not start cycling along with the races. If we spot bank parties which have become excessive due to people joining, we will fine the club of the people that joined, rather than the clubs they may be spectating. We may fire the guns for the W1 division up to ten minutes early tomorrow. Please make bank parties and spectators aware that they?ll need to be in position earlier than they might expect.
