<div dir="ltr">Dear Captains,<div><br></div><div style>As mentioned in today's meeting, we are still short on umpires for this week's races.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Since the umpires I have have mostly neglected to tell me which college they are from, I'm going to rely on you and your members good will and community spirit to decide who should be volunteered to help out, based on your entries to the regatta.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>The races <u>will not be run</u> unless we can achieve a minimum of 6 umpires per day, currently that number stands closer to 4. (This corresponds to two start, two finish and two cycling umpires patrolling the course, ideally we would have one extra so that the person actually calling "Go" can stand equidistant from both boats).</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Umpires are meeting at 11.45 at St. Catz boat house tomorrow - though I would prefer that people email me to tell me they are coming rather than just turning up (there's no point having 12 umpires at once).</div>
