Exact details and link will be confirmed nearer the time.</span><br>

<div><b><i>*Captains please forward this message to your clubs*<br></i></b><br>
Dear all,<br>
<br>
I hope that you are all as excited as we are about the return of May Bumps! Bumps is not possible without the help of volunteers to fill umpire positions, umpires are critical for ensuring the safety and fairness of races. Due to many sets of bumps having to be cancelled in recent years, umpires are all the more important, so if you are eligible (more details below) please do consider signing up!<br>
<br>
Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing, 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. As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires are also offered a <b>free dinner</b> (including drinks) at a pub the week after Bumps (details to follow). Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring by Sunday 12th June will count towards their college's marshal allocation (if you sign up after Wednesday 15th June, please drop us an email, or we may miss you off the rota!).<br>
<br>
You don't need to have umpired before to sign up. There will be a briefing for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything, all new umpires are also paired with a 'senior' during racing. However, we do ask that you have <b><i>rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps (Lents, Mays, or Towns)</i></b> before so that you understand how the races work. Unfortunately, given the unique nature of Bumps, last years’ June Eights Regatta experience is not sufficient.<br>
<br>
The umpires briefing will be in the early evening of Sunday 12th June - exact time TBC. It'll last about thirty-forty minutes, and we’ll endeavour to distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting.<br>
<br>
Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave <b>two divisions clear before</b> your race and <b>one after</b> to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here: <a href="https://www.cucbc.org/mays/times" target="_blank">www.cucbc.org/mays/times</a><br>

If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact.<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
