Unfortunately we’re all really busy too, so there just wasn’t time to get this out sooner (sidenote; if you know anyone who’d like to help with organising CUCBC races in future, please put them in touch - many hands make light work!).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The Marshals rota can be found here: <a href="https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/marshals" class="">https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/marshals</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It’s essential that you send a marshal for each of your slots, as we can’t run the races without them. Marshals do not need to be particularly experienced, but please make sure they know how to pull a boat in without breaking its bowball off, and ideally use people who’ve competed in at least a few races before.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It will make everything run a lot smoother if all marshals familiarise themselves with both the marshalling instructions (for competitors) and the instructions for Marshals and Umpires (both available here: <a href="https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta" class="">https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta</a>) before their slot. Please ensure marshals know where the start is, so they know where to go to check in.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If for whatever reason there’s no way your club can fill one of your marshalling slots, you can swap it with another college. Feel free to use the Captains list for this if you like. Once you’ve found someone to swap with, please email <a href="mailto:committee@cucbc.org" class="">committee@cucbc.org</a> to let us know, CCing the other club.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Conor</div></body></html>
