Dear Captains,<br><br>Weekend restrictions for Lent Term are as per Michaelmas Term. Weekend rowing is permitted on Saturday and Sunday after 11am only. The two boat rule is NOT in effect, but may be brought into effect later in term if needed, as decided by the executive committee.<br>
<br>River closures for the Lent Term have been posted on the front page of the CUCBC website. Please check this list when planning outings. Pembroke Regatta has not yet been added to this list, but a preliminary date for this regatta is Saturday, 13th February. Please note that on Saturday, 16th January and on Saturday, 20th February there will be no weekend restrictions to allow for the winter league on the following day. (i.e. boating will be allowed before 11am).<br>
<br>The early morning marshals rota is posted on the CUCBC website, and the first marshals should appear on Tuesday, 12th January (tomorrow). Information about the next Captains' Meeting will be e-mailed around shortly.<br>
<br>This may sound like an unnecessary reminder, but it would be wise to remind all your crews (or have crew captains remind their crews) that it is especially cold this winter, and that everyone should dress appropriately. If the outside temperature is very cold (usually below 0 degrees celsius), then slower wind speeds than normal may call for a yellow flag. It is also important to be aware that the river can freeze if temperatures become very cold. The tow path can also get very icy, so it is important to be careful while cycling to watch where you are going and be prepared.<br>
<br>Can all clubs please also update their insurance summary on the CUCBC website if your insurance form is out of date.<br><br>Happy New Year,<br clear="all">Derek O'Brien<br>CUWBC Secretary<br>CUCBC Secretary<br>
