Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Bung Starts
Message-ID: <839F04E810B34F2DB421B27298E291BE@sccnet.eng.cam.ac.uk>

Dear Coxes, Captains, Boatmen, Coaches,

 

Bumps is rapidly approaching which also heralds the time when Bung Starts
can happen outside the boathouses.

 

Bung starts are allowed only on Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th June.

 

Firm pressure is allowed for bung starts, BUT ONLY the FIRST THREE TO FIVE
STROKES of the start are allowed.

The function of bung starts is to practice pushing off and lining up.  It is
absolutely NOT an opportunity to practice full starts, not least because of
the wash it creates for the narrowboats (often causing piles of plates,
glasses, anything breakable to fall.) and also the obvious problems of
having many crews in a constricted section of river moving at considerable
pace.

 

There are no restrictions on the part of the river downstream of Chesterton,
and clubs have been known to set up a chain and pole from their start
positions.  However, CUCBC will not provide these before the bumps start.

If you are practicing starts and extended pieces from your station, please
be aware of (and avoid)  obstructing other crews.

 

 

Yours,

 

 

Mark Stringer,

CUCBC Coxing Representative

Dear all,

We're still in need of more umpires for May Bumps, particularly for
the top divisions (W2, M2, W1 and M1) - you'll get a really good view
of the racing, and if the weather's like today then you'll get a
suntan too!

More details are in Chris' message below, but if you have a reasonable
idea of how Bumps work and would like to help then do sign up at
http://tinyurl.com/qoydqa
Division times can be found at http://www.cucbc.org/mays/times -
remember to leave at least a couple of divisions free before your own
race and at least one afterwards.

Thanks to all those that have signed up already,

Message-ID: <762605FABA0E4D3E99068841A1545570@sccnet.eng.cam.ac.uk>

Dear Coxes, 

 

A reminder that the safety briefings for May bumps will take place at
Engineering this coming Sunday (7th June)

Location: LR3A

 

Experienced Coxes: 7:15pm

Novice Coxes:   7:45pm

 

All Bumps coxes must attend one of the two meetings (senior coxes can attend
either if they want to).

 

You must bring you University Card with you.

 

The room is difficult to find if you are not familiar with the department,
so I've attached a map with an arrow where you should come.  Make sure you
arrive AT LEAST 5 minutes before your meeting is due to start.  We won't be
able to keep letting people in this time around.

 

Yours,

 

Mark

Message-ID: <9FE55680493A4550928DA07FBE1A5C3E@mark>

Dear Coxes,

 

At this time of the year, it is understandable that crews are going to be
going full tilt up the bumps course.  It is especially important that safety
is kept as top priority.

 

In particular, be prepared to stop if necessary and at short notice.  If you
are doing a racing piece, it doesn't give you right of rule on the river and
you should expect the possibility that you won't be able to complete your
piece.  

 

Similarly, please be vigilant to what is happening around you if you are
trying to build a gap to do your piece.  Please avoid getting in the way of
other crews doing pieces.

 

Finally, remember to follow the protocols at the crossover points - crew
going upstream has got right of way, if needs be, easy and let the crew
going upstream come past.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Please see the below message from Sarah Allen about CUWBC Dev Squad
and a meeting tomorrow afternoon.


Dear all,

CUWBC will be closing applications for its Development Squad this
Sunday (more information on Dev Squad can be found at www.cuwbc.org ).
We will be combining this with an information meeting during which we
introduce the club, explain what Dev Squad and trialling involve, and
provide an opportunity for people to ask questions about anything they
may be wondering about.

It is an open meeting, so whether you are interested in rowing, coxing
or coaching - or are just curious about what CUWBC is - or even just
want some free wine and nibbles - then please come along! Time: 4.30
p.m., Sunday. Venue: Goldie Boat House Captains' Room.

I am aware that some rowers will be racing at Peterborough this
Sunday, if this is the case, or you can't make the meeting for some
other reason and you would like to hear more about Dev Squad and
trialling, then please don't hesitate to email me.

Regards,

Sarah Allen
CUWBC President 2009-10

Message-ID: <a810c49b0906080902k41b4a923l725b5f79b03e4ed7@mail.gmail.com>

I'm now able to confirm that, as reported to Captains last night, the
following arrangements have been made this year;

TOILETS

There will be six port-a-loo units on Stourbridge Common near the
marshalling area, and two units at Baits Bite Lock.  The Penny Ferry,
although closed, is being opened specially during Bumps, and the licensee is
happy for rowers and bank party members to use the loos in the pub.  I have
been trying to get agreement for loos on the Common from the Council since
last Mays, but they only confirmed this would be ok today.  This means that
there really is no reason for anyone to have to use the bushes on the common
as a toilet, so please tell your crews not to.  Fines equivalent to the
Police 'on the spot fine' for such an offence (?80) will be charged to clubs
for anyone seen doing so.

REFRESHMENTS

Please tell you supporters that the Penny Ferry will be open with a limited
stock of snacks, soft drinks and beer on each afternoon of Bumps, and that
the Plough will be providing a full catering service for Bumps supporters
throughout the week.  Support for both would be much appreciated.

LITTER

There will be two large bins at Grassy and wheelie bins at the Gun
Shed.  Please make sure that starting stations are not left littered with
plastic bottles after the start of every race.  If the crew can't take them
home in the boat, makes sure a member of the Bank Party picks them up.
Plastic bottles are one of the biggest litter problems evidenced on the
Cam.

SPINNING

I received a report from the Conservators this morning that, since the 'spin
here' sign in Baits Bite Reach was stolen a few weeks ago, bad habits have
crept back in,  I have seen a list detailing thirty or forty crews that have
carried on and spun either in front of Mr & Mrs Russell's boat or even
closer to the boom at the weir.  The spinning point was marked after a crew
got stuck on the boom as doing so is really dangerous.  A boat capsizing
there would undoubtedly result in people being swept under the boom and into
the weir.  Coxes, please make sure you spin at or just before the wooden
boat shed in the Baits Bite reach.  This is primarily for your crews'
safety.

Finally,

THE SWAN FAMILY

The state of play when I was down at the river around lunch time was that
the female and her cygnets and been coralled into the cut between First Post
and the Gut (just next to the summer house going upstream).  The intention
is to close the cut with plastic netting/fencing for the duration of racing
each day.  We will keep this situation monitored on a division by division
basis and ensure that SUs and JUs are aware of what is going on so that they
can keep coxes briefed before the start of each division.
Any more news on this will be passed to you asap.

Best wishes,

Ian

Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Wednesday Notes and Fines - May Bumps 2009
Message-ID: <200906102259.05171.culrc@cucbc.org>

Results from Wednesday?s racing are now available online:
http://www.cucbc.org/mays/results

Thursday?s start order is attached.


Notes from the Umpires:

There were a lot of fines today for crews not arriving at Chesterton on time. 
In one case we had a women's crew still not pulled in at Chesterton when a 
men's crew racing to Top Finish was coming past Morley's Holt. Particularly if 
the rain continues and the current gets stronger, it can take longer than you 
think to get pulled in when most of the bank is already taken up by marshalled 
crews. I had to stop a division in exactly these circumstances two years ago 
and would like to avoid that happening again. If you're worried about getting 
cold or wet, bring extra kit.

Please tell your bank parties to be careful when disposing of poles after 
pushing boats off - remember that umpires and other bank parties will be 
cycling along the towpath.

On a positive note, I haven't heard any complaints about litter being left on 
the towpath or about people urinating in public. Let's keep it that way.

Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Riverboat Georgina and Bumps Fines
Message-ID: <a810c49b0906110105i3ec1b9b2j71dc62310a140944@mail.gmail.com>

The Georgina has two outings scheduled for today.  The first is a short trip
to the Penny Ferry, leaving her mooring near Jesus Lock at 1200hrs.  Should
she be on time she will be spinning at the Penny Ferry at c1230hrs to head
back upstream to her base.  This means that crews heading downstream for
M6/W5 need to allow pleny of time to get to the start as she could impede
your progress between the boathouses and the Penny Ferry, and M5 need to be
aware that you that she will be on the river as you row down to marshal at
Chesterton.

I note that the list of fines sent out by the Committee last evening did not
include a reminder that all fines are open to appeal.  Appeals should be
directed directly to me at this e-mail address (seniortreasurer at cucbc.org).   I
will acknowledge all appeals asap, but am unlikely to be able to deal with
them until after the weekend.  I will notify you immediately if a fine has
been cancelled, reduced or upheld, however.  Those who e-mailed in response
to Chris's message last night need not do so again as I will tke these as
appeals.

Notes:

- We do not own the tow path - please allow room for members of the public. If you knock 
someone from their bike on the tow path, please stop and apologise - this is basic

- Cyclists who are cycling with a division count as part of a crew's bank party - even 2 
lengths behind the crew. Remember that VIP tickets are included in the total of 4 persons 
allowed.

Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Georgina Outing and Bow Balls (VERY IMPORTANT)
Message-ID: <a810c49b0906120017r6d0e4d06gc4200d89c8ce3020@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

GEORGINA

The Georgina has one scheduled outing today.  She is due to leave
Jesus Lock at 1930hrs, but I will ask the Skipper to delay setting off
by five or ten minutes so that M1 is over before she gets to
Chesterton.  I will obviously keep the Skipper informed during the day
of any delays to the races, or re-rows scheduled for after M1.

BOW BALLS

One of the Chesterton marshals reported yesterday that there were
several crews which, in his view, had insecurely fitted bowballs.
Whilst I have said that fines should not be issued for this, you need
to remember that the bow ball is a very important part of safety
equipment and that the only fatality in Bumps (which happened over a
century ago) would probaby not have happened had bow balls been in use
in those days.  Please bear in mind that a bow ball can be loosened
after a bump or a crash into the bank and so you should check it
before you set out from the boathouse each day, just as you would get
the crew to check riggers, nuts, footplates etc.  If you have any
doubt at all, get your boatman to check it.  It is in no one's
interest to run the risk of injury to other competitors, or damage to
boats as a result of a loose bowball.  Remember too that, if the Chief
Umpire or one of his deputies rules that the bow ball is not properly
fitted, and this cannot be repaired before the start, you will not be
allowed to race.

Fines will continue to be issued for any boat arriving at Chesterton
without a bow ball, of course.

Notes from the Umpires

- There are quite a few narrow boats and cruisers around at the
minute. Crews must follow the rules of the river on their way down to
the start i.e. stay on the correct side.
- Make sure bikes are not left obstructing the towpath when crews bump out.
- Tea and cakes are available on the towpath just downstream of control.
- Coxes should not swap with rowers on the way home: dangerous rowing
home will be penalised.
- Sandwich boats should spin before parking at the P&E.
- Particular attention will be paid to excessive bank parties today:
there is a maximum of four cyclists with each crew, including boatmen
and VIPs.

Dear all,

Firstly, apologies for the lateness of this email (due to technical
problems with the mailing lists).

Final results of the May Bumps 2009 are now available at
http://www.cucbc.org/mays/results .  Thank you to all crews for a
competitive set of races.

Congratulations to all those who won their oars, and particularly to
Pembroke and First and Third Trinity for retaining the women's and men's
Headship respectively. Commiserations to all those who were awarded
spoons.

Good luck to all those who will be competing at Henley Women's Regatta
or Henley Royal Regatta in the next few weeks.

Owing to an oversight at the Control desk, a few of Friday's fines were
not included in the Friday Notes & Fines e-mail - these are listed
below.  All fines are open to appeal; both appeals and queries should be
directed to Ian Thompson at seniortreasurer at cucbc.org

See you next year!

Thomas
