Dear All,<br>
<br>
Attached is this term's 12-outing declaration form for the May
Bumps. Please note the following:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>One form per club please - not separate submissions per crew
or for men's/women's sections.<br>
</li>
<li>The requirement for each crew is 12 outings, where weekday
sessions after 9am count as 1.5 towards the total. Outings in
IVs or small boats do not count towards the total.<br>
</li>
<li>Races count as 1 outing, irrespective of the time of day or
how many rounds of a regatta you have raced. The Getting-on-Race
may count towards the total for those crews attempting to get
on.</li>
<li>Please take a common sense view when it comes to subs/crew
shuffling. In particular, each member should ordinarily have
undertaken at least 8 outings with the crew (though we're
flexible and reasonable when it comes to putting experienced
subs in at the last minute). Please contact me to discuss if you
think it necessary, especially in the case of coxes.<br>
</li>
<li>I'd appreciate it if in your return you could indicate which
of your crews have been training regularly on weekdays after 9am
(either in working hours, men's/women's hours or after the
restricted time). This is simply a straw poll to see how many
crews are making use of these quieter times.</li>
<li>As usual, a random sample of clubs will be asked to submit
copies of their outing logs for the term. These may be in any
format convenient, but please ensure that you send me a log of
outings actually undertaken, not a Google Docs outing planner
that has not been updated to reflect outings missed due to
illness, river closures etc.</li>
<li>If you have crews entered that have not managed 12 outings,
they will still be welcome to race for time only in the GoR (and
will be eligible for the 50% non-qualifier's refund).</li>
<li>If you think you have a good excuse for not having made the
12-outing requirement by the deadline, feel free to plead your
case with me before scratching.</li>
</ul>
<p>Forms are to be returned to me by the end of Thursday 2 June.<br>
</p>
<p>Any questions, please ask.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
<br>
