<div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><b><i>*Please forward this message to any members of your club who may be interested in umpiring*</i></b><br><br>Dear all,<br><br>With only a few short weeks until the start of the May Bumps (11th - 14th June), we are looking to <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/cucbc.org/forms/d/1VgL0Hl6foLIBRXxdetY7nfzbI-j6N9I4AgLjjAqPjMA/viewform" target="_blank">recruit umpires</a> for this year's racing.<br>
<br>Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and 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. <br><br></div>
<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires will be offered a </span><b style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">free dinner</b><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> (including drinks) at the Cambridge Blue pub, the week after bumps. Those who volunteer to umpire also count towards their college's marshal allocation.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div><br>You don't need to have umpired before. There will be a meeting for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' one during racing. 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. <br>
<br>Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. I 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 <a href="http://www.cucbc.org/mays/times" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>
<br>The umpires meeting is currently scheduled for Sunday 8th June @ 17:30 in Robinson College Umney Theatre and should last about half an hour.<br><br>So, why not get involved and <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/cucbc.org/forms/d/1VgL0Hl6foLIBRXxdetY7nfzbI-j6N9I4AgLjjAqPjMA/viewform" target="_blank">click here to sign up!</a> (Why not invite your friends too?)<br>
