[CUCBC Contacts] Umpiring May Bumps 2017

[Conor Burgess]

* Captains please forward to your clubs *

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far - we're a decent way towards a full complement, but we're not there yet!

Please encourage anyone you think might be interested (who's also eligible) to sign up by this Friday evening.

See my previous email below for details, and here's the link: http://www.cucbc.org/mays/umpires/signup

Many thanks,

Conor

However, we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before so that you understand how the races work.

> Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave 2 divisions clear before your race and 1 after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here: http://www.cucbc.org/mays/times
