<div dir="ltr">Dear Captains,<div><br></div><div>1. Please ensure all relevant people are aware of the upcoming briefing times and information below this email.</div><div>2. Please request that experienced rowers consider signing up for umpiring: this counts towards your club's marshalling requirement. <a href="http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup">Link here</a></div><div>(2b. Umpire sign-up deadline is noon this Saturday. Marshal allocation requirements per club should be sent out this weekend)</div><div>3. If you're receiving insane numbers of Bumps-related emails and messages, send a kind thought our way. <b>Make sure that all emails to the CUCBC committee are sent to us all on the Committee email, for a faster response. </b>Email<b> </b><u><a href="mailto:committee@cucbc.org">committee@cucbc.org</a></u>.</div><div>4. There have been a number of evidenced complaints from the Cam's houseboat community recently. <b>Please ensure all crews, coxes <u>and coaches</u> are aware of the following:</b></div><div><ul><li>Avoid hitting houseboats! but especially their paintwork whenever possible.</li><li>Be polite and courteous at all times. Do apologise if you make contact.</li><li>Use the rubber/rope fenders to push off whenever needed and possible, instead of risking scratching paintwork or hitting below the water line.</li><li>Do not be afraid to apologise and identify yourself in the case of an incident. This is what insurance policies exist for.</li><li>Experience of coaches is not a reason to avoid apologising for incidents involving other crews or river users.</li><li>Speed/ perceived significance of a crew is never a reason to queue jump a blind corner.</li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>Here's to an exciting few weeks! May your crews remain injury- and illness-free.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes</div><div>Cat</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 17 Feb 2023 at 23:13, Limeng Zhu <<a href="mailto:limeng@cucbc.org">limeng@cucbc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Captains</div><div>Please be aware that we have now confirmed the following briefings for bumps on Sunday 5th March.
