We believe that it is important that we assist the colleges in developing their mens rowing programs. It is no coincidence that when there is a strong mens college system, the CUBC squad is also strong. We are willing to help individuals and colleges in the coming Easter Term where possible . <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will once again be running the CUBC Development Squad for those students that have shown potential in their college programme and who are interested in competing for the university in the summer regattas (Met, Marlo and Henley) . I would encourage you all to pass this information onto the rowers in your club who may be interested in being involved in the CUBC programme over summer and trialling in the 2011/2012 Boat Race Campaign. I have attached a document outlining how the Development Squad will be run. Can you please pass this on to your club coaches (as they will be able to help identify future Goldie and Blue Boat rowers in your crews) as well as those individuals you think would be keen. The CUBC Summer Development Squad will run alongside the CUBC Henley crews and will have access to all the CUBC facilities and coaches. I have also attached a registration form for those interested.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This year Steve Trapmore (CUBC Chief Coach) and I are looking at opening up the CUBC Goldie facilities to College Mens 1<sup>st</sup> Boats for erging/indoor tank sessions). It is intended that we will make four 30-60 minute blocks per week where college 1<sup>st</sup> Mens Crews can book in to use the ergomoters and rowing tank. It is intended that these sessions will be supervised by Steve and myself so that your mens 1<sup>st</sup> boat receives coaching and or advice from one or both of us. We are still discussing how this will work, but it is intended it will be on a booking system that would require the college captains to book in to secure a slot. We are discussing ligisticas of how this will work, so will send through more detailed information on this at a later date.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will also try and offer on Cam coaching to college mens 1<sup>st</sup> boats over the summer term. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you, your club or any individuals are interested in any of the above points, please contact me via email. I will try to respond ASAP, but this may be after the Boat Race on 26<sup>th</sup> March.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Mark Beer<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Assistant Coach <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Cambridge University Boat Club<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>The Goldie Boathouse<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Kimberley Road<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Cambridge<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>CB4 1HJ<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>m:(0)77 8090 2114<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>t:(0) 1223 467304<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>e: mark@cubc.org.uk<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
