With the May Bumps fast approaching and the academic year almost over, we are starting to think about appointing next year's CUCBC Executive <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">Committee</span>. There are four open <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">positions</span>, all of which are open to <b>*any*</b> member of the College boat clubs. Involvement with the CUCBC <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">committee</span> is fun and rewarding and a good way of giving something back to College rowing in Cambridge, so if you are enthusiastic about college rowing and would like to get involved on the organisational side, please do consider applying for a <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">position</span>.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">While there are a number of defined jobs, responsibilities (particularly organising and umpiring the major races) tend to be shared between <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">committee</span> members who will work together throughout the year.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">If you wish to run for any of these <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">positions</span>, please send a brief manifesto outlining your experience and what you will bring to the <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">position</span> to <span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">Tom Grimble, </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">CUCBC Honorary Secretary (</span><a href="mailto:dan@cucbc.org" style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" target="_blank">tom@cucbc.org</a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">), by Sunday 2nd June.
