Dear all,
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">We’re currently about 60% of the way to the number of Umpires we need to run Lents; could I ask you to please pass this message on to anyone who’s eligible and you think might be interested, even if they can only do one day. People who can do the middle divisions (<span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: var(--textColor); background-color: var(--backgroundColor);" class="">i.e. people not competing in the first divisions) </span><span style="color: var(--textColor); background-color: var(--backgroundColor);" class="">are particularly helpful.</span></div>
<div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div>
<div dir="auto" class="">Anyone who signs up in the next two days will count towards their college’s marshalling allocation; i.e. every person you find who’s willing to do an interesting and fun job means roughly one fewer person you have to convince to sit on the bank doing something less interesting and less fun.</div>

Dear all,<br class="">
<br class="">
The time has come for Umpiring Sign Up. Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action - either by cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire along the course.<br class="">
<br class="">
As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires are offered a <b class="">free dinner</b> (including drinks) at a pub the week after Bumps. Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring before Saturday 15th February will count towards their college's marshal allocation (if you sign up after this, please drop me an email!).<br class="">
<br class="">
You don't need to have umpired before. There will be a briefing for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' one during racing. However, we do ask that you have <b class=""><i class="">rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps</i></b> before so that you understand how the races work.<br class="">
<br class="">
Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave <b class="">two divisions clear before</b> your race and <b class="">one after</b> to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here:</span> <a href="https://www.cucbc.org/lents/times" class="">https://www.cucbc.org/lents/times</a><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
The umpires briefing will be on Sunday 23rd February at 18:30 in Emmanuel College. It'll last about forty minutes, and I’ll endeavour to distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting.<br class="">
<br class="">
You can sign up here:</span> <a href="http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup" class="">http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup</a><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
