From dan at cucbc.org Wed Feb 2 00:22:12 2011 From: dan at cucbc.org (Dan Wilkins) Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 00:22:12 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Umpiring Lent Bumps Message-ID: *Please pass this message on to anyone in your club who may be interested in umpiring* With not long to go before the Lent Bumps (1st-5th March), 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.

Boating is restricted to University crews, first VIIIs, men's crews in the top 2 divisions of the May Bumps and women's crews in the top division of the May Bumps as well as first fours and tub pairs. Members of crews permitted to boat under a Yellow Flag may do so in fours or small boats (i.e. single and double sculls and pairs) with the express permission of the Club Captain and/or Boatman. Outlook: Due to the forecast of strong gusts of wind to continue through the early morning tomorrow. Will be reviewed by 30 minutes prior to lighting down.

Outlook: Even though the steady wind speed has dropped off a little to ~20mph, gusts are still reaching 50mph so the flag will remain yellow.

The river is closed, except to tub pairs between Jesus Lock and Chesterton and University crews with the express permission of their Head Coach. Outlook: Flag is red/yellow due to extremely high wind and waves on the Reach. Situation will be reviewed on Saturday morning.
