We've suddenly got a cox shortage. Obviously we would have to inform the committee via rule 42b and this would render them unavailable to cox for their college this term, but they would receive valuable coaching from us in return.

With immediate effect, we will cease using a 'physical flag' at Goldie. Rather, the web page will illustrate the current flag status. With reference to early morning periods (mostly affecting the winter terms), we will institute a 'predictive flag', based on met office information. This means that a committee member will check conditions around 9pm each evening and, if necessary, alter the status to yellow or red. If this happens, the conditions will then be checked again 30 mins before boating time, when any further change will be posted. This change will remove the possible confusion between web and physical flag status, and will allow quicker changing of status during the day when required. Note that part of the assessment we make relates to the amount and experience of traffic. So, our working assumption is that, where a flag is used in the early morning period, flag status is then likely to be downgraded by about 0900, when the river becomes far less busy. Should the website fail, a message on flag status will be sent to the e-mail lists. Note that, as always, under green or yellow flag conditions the final responsibility for making a decision whether conditions are appropriate to boat remains with the crew concerned. 2) Megaphones and cox boxes. With immediate effect, we are extending the 0730 curfew on the use of megaphones and excessive/loud use of coxboxes to include the entire river (ie not only above the railway bridge). This is in the light of the near loss of access to the river in the mornings over this issue last term, and follows discussion with the County and District Councils. Again, as always, I must emphasise that we have the choice of behaving sensibly or losing access to this period of the day.

Any member of a college Mens boat club is eligible (although a Y chromosome is not a prerequisite), although you must be in statu pupillare. As with the other Hon Sec jobs, there are two parts - CUCBC and CUBC. CUCBC activities all pertain to the day to day running of rowing here in Cambridge and organising the major CUCBC events (Bumps, Uni 4s, SBR). CUBC activities are at the discretion of the President, but you won't be short of things to do. You should be available for as much of the week leading up to the boat race 2009 as possible. If anyone would like some more information, or to run for the position, please drop me an email over the next couple of days. The date of the election is not yet decided - it may be combined with the Presidential election, but will depend on the number of people running for President and on the number of people running for Hon Sec.

The 'changeover period' is 6.30-7.00 pm. During the dedicated hours, ONLY eligible VIIIs are permitted on the stretch between Chesterton Footbridge and Bait's Bite Lock. College IVs and small boats are NOT permitted. If you want to take a IV or a non-eligible VIII over the lock, they need to arrive at Bait's Bite before a dedicated hour starts, and leave it again upstream at its end - the changeover period can be used to get to and from the lock for this purpose, but you must plan your boating times such that this is the period used. If you fail to boat in time through lack of organisation, then the outing should be abandoned. Bear in mind that infringement fines build up rapidly.
