Dear all,<br>
<br>
Please find attached a copy of the "Ten Outing Form", to be returned
to me by Wednesday 22nd February. This form applies to all crews
from your club entered into the Lent Bumps - I don't want to receive
7 copies from anyone! The form may be completed either by the club's
Captain or Water Safety Officer.<br>
<br>
The 10 outing rule is designed to prevent incompetent crews taking
part in the racing and creating a danger to both themselves and to
other crews. "10 outings" refers to the whole crew and the cox, and
the outings must have been this term. While it is inevitable that
crews occasionally change (e.g. due to a sub coming in during
someone's illness), everybody in the crew must have had at least 8
outings, and the aggregate number of outings over the whole crew
should be at least 90 (10 for each rower and cox).<br>
<br>
Rowing done on any occasion before this term does not count, nor
does rowing in another crew. Do not forget the cox.<br>
<br>
Please bear in mind our policy on refunds for scratches:<br>
<br>
- If you scratch by 5pm Wednesday (48 hours before), you get a 100%
refund.<br>
- If you scratch by 5pm Thursday (24 hours before) or race the GoR
and do not get on, you get a 50% refund.<br>
- If you scratch after 5pm Thursday or just don't turn up, you do
not get a refund.<br>
<br>
For us to process this easily, to scratch please send an email to
Dan (<a href="mailto:cucbc@cucbc.org" target="_blank">cucbc@cucbc.org</a>)
and to Tom (juniortreasurer@<a href="http://cucbc.org/"
target="_blank">cucbc.org</a>).<br>
<br>
If you simply withdraw your crew on the website, there is a chance
we may not notice and you may not get the appropriate refund.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Mark Jacobs<br>
CUCBC Safety Officer<br>
