A report received concerning a member of a crew (yellow boat, new white blades, cox and coach in University kit) standing up and urinating in the river downstream of the Railway Bridge c4.45pm on Saturday leads me to remind everyone of what was said yesterday. Urinating in public is an offence which carries an £80 fixed penalty. In addition to that, it brings both College rowing and the University into disrepute. Pete and I, along with several other members of the rowing community, are currently engaged in dialogue with the other river users on the Cam about relationships between us all, these conversations are not helped by people behaving in such an offensive manner.<br>
<br>Remember that you/we are very much on show in the next week and we all have a responsibility to ensure that members of the public have no grounds for complaint about the behaviour and/or language of members of the University. Please pass this on to all rowers, supporters and members of bank parties, reminding them that club's will be fined heavily for foul and abusive language or behaviour.<br>
