We still need a few more umpires to volunteer to make sure everything runs smoothly. If you are able to help with any of the divisions, please sign up at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup. All we ask is that you have competed in at least two sets of Bumps races in the past. Don't worry if you have not umpired before - we will teach you everything you need to know! Captains, please pass this on to anyone in your club who may be interested (providing umpires will reduce the number of marshals you need to provide). Many thanks, Dan -- With not long to go before the Lent Bumps (23rd-27th February), we're looking to find umpires for this year's races. Umpiring is a really fun way to get involved in the Bumps - you get to see and be involved in the action from up close on the towpath, either cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire at key points on the course. In addition to this, you will get a free dinner, probably the week after Bumps and umpiring will reduce the number of marshals that your club needs to provide. To help out, you don't need to have umpired before although we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of Bumps in the past. There will be a meeting for all umpires where we will explain everything and those that have not umpired before will be paired with a 'senior' during the races. If you would like to help out, please sign up at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup indicating which divisions you are available for (the times of the divisions are listed at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/times). You can both compete and umpire (although obviously don't sign up to umpire a division you're competing in!) If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Goosen) Date: 05 Feb 2010 18:38:02 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Cox URGENTLY needed for St. Edmund's College Message-ID: Dear coxes, Apologies, first of all, for clogging your inboxes with my plea. If you are not interested yourself, please could you pass this email on to anyone who might be. St. Edmund's College Boat Club (SECBC) are desperately searching for coxes to take our women through Lent Bumps. This year we have ended up with more enthusiastic rowers than coxes and I personally feel it would be a shame to let a crew go to waste if there are any willing coxes out there who find themselves left without a crew. Our W1 crew have a guaranteed place in Lent Bumps and our W2 crew will be participating in the Getting-On race to hopefully win St. Ed's that much-coveted second spot. Both crews are training regularly with very experienced coaches, though we wouldn't expect you to do any more outings than you wanted to. The team has a great dynamic and we're looking forward to welcoming a new cox into our midst! We will handle all the necessary permission-seeking to allow you to cox for us for this term. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like any additional information. Looking forward to hearing from you soon (kg326).

Full information about the Lent Bumps is available on the website at http://www.cucbc.org/lents ----- DIVISION TIMES AND MARSHALLING The division times are available at http://www.cucbc.org/lents/times - DO NOT BE LATE. The first division of the day (M4 or W3 on Friday) marshals 10 minutes before the start on their station at the start. W3 and M3 (W2 on Thursday) marshal 40 minutes before the start at the Railings (Meadow side of the Long Reach). All others marshal 40 minutes before the start at Chesterton. If you have an equipment failure at the start, it may be possible to delay the start - please speak to the umpires. There will be no delay after the 1 minute gun, except in an emergency, ----- BANK PARTIES There must be no more than 4 cyclists with each crew. This includes the boatman, senior treasurer and any VIPs. Crews will be heavily penalised for excessive bank parties. All cyclists must carry a bank pass appropriate for the division - there are required to cycle beyond the Railway Bridge - these were distributed at this evening's Captains' meeting. If you have any VIPs such as College masters accompanying crews, they may collect a VIP pass valid for the day from the Control Desk at Peter's Posts. ----- BUMPING As soon as you bump, you must HOLD IT UP straight away. If you get bumped, keep rowing. Clear the river straight away and get pulled in to the bank ASAP. Do not celebrate before clearing the river. ----- DISPUTES Any disputes should be reported to the control desk at Peter's Posts within 15 minutes of the division. Disputes and contentious situations will be referred to the Chief Umpire or Deputies, whose decisions are final. Abusive or aggressive behaviour towards the umpires will not be tolerated. Above all, Bumps is fun - keep it sporting!! The chief umpire is Pete Convey and his deputies are John Durack, Chris Balmer, Holly Hedgeland and Dan Wilkins. ----- LITTER etc. Please take your litter with you - do not leave water bottles etc. on First Post Reach. There will be toilets at Baitsbite and Stourbridge Common (Chesterton marshalling area). Please don't relieve yourselves in public as in the past members of the public have complained. If we receive complaints, we will have no choice but to fine clubs. ----- KIT The weather forecast for next week is cold and wet. As such, crews should ensure they have adequate kit to wear while marshalling and waiting before/after racing. All boats must have a bow ball and correctly fitted heel restraints. Coxes must wear lifejackets. Without these, crews will not be allowed to race. All the best to competing crews and I hope you all have an enjoyable week. See you at the river...

Please ensure all crews and bank parties in these divisions are aware of this. NOTES FROM THE UMPIRES In the case of high stream/wind, please try to pull over to the towpath side where possible to save your boat drifting. This may however, not be possible if crews are racing close behind your bump. It is a good idea to bring bank parties to assist with marshalling if the wind/stream is high. Please row home sensibly tomorrow. It is generally not a good idea for one of your crew to give coxing a try for the first time on the row home. Crews causing problems will be penalised.
