Message-ID: <625BC7CD-FE76-4E37-AC99-69C9E6BABDE8@cucbc.org> Hi all Just a gentle reminder to stay on your die of the river, particularly when warming up in the early morning period, as there will be other crews (including town crews and scullers) returning from their outings as you push off. As we get closer to the Mays, more crews will be practicing race pieces, particularly coming upstream from Baitsbite to Chesterton. Please stay on your side, take care when overtaking other crews and give-away to crews coming upstream - we don't want to see any nasty accidents. Also, when doing a piece (this may sound obvious) - watch where you are going and stop if you need to!

We go out Saturday mornings?around 9am - followed by coffee at Tyska's...& we buy fo rthe cox :-) If we are fortunate enough to find a cox for the summer, we'd like to add in a mid week outing - time and day for all to?agree. We'd appreciate any offers. Please feel free to call if you'd like to know more. Many thanks,?

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 in May Week, 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/mays/umpires/signup indicating which divisions you are available for (the times of the divisions are listed at http://www.cucbc.org/mays/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.

Message-ID: Hello everyone, Darwin W2 are missing a cox for May bumps and would appreciate any help. It's a fairly mixed crew with some novices and some returning rowers but I'd say we've got a good chance if we get the training we're planning over the next few weeks. If you want to cox May bumps, don't have a crew of your own, and want a friendly and committed crew, here we are! Do let me know if you are interested yourself or if you have any recommendations for someone else who might be. Thanks and have a great weekend!

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.

There are four open positions, all of which are open to *any* member of the College boat clubs. Involvement with the CUCBC committee is fun and rewarding and a good way of giving something back to College rowing in Cambridge, so if you are enthusiastic about college rowing and would like to get involved on the organisational side, please do consider applying for a position. While there are a number of defined jobs, responsibilities (particularly organising races) tend to be shared between committee members who will work together throughout the year. CUCBC Honorary Secretary This position will be elected at the pre-May Bumps Captains' Meeting (Sunday 12 June) by the College Captains. Candidates will give a brief speech to the Captains before they vote. Current: Dan Wilkins (dan at cucbc.org) The Honorary Secretary is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the CUCBC committee; organisation of CUCBC events (Uni IVs, Lents, SBR, Mays) and day-to-day administration of College rowing. This includes issuing fines and dealing with straight forward appeals, compiling agendas and minutes for the Captains' meetings, arranging marshalling rotas and organising the start of year LBCs' course. You will also be the Captains' main representative on the Executive Committee. The Honorary Secretary will generally take responsibility for organising one of the CUCBC events, while the others will be distributed between committee members. While there are a number of responsibilities, they are spread out over the year and completed with the help of the other committee members. This is a rewarding job for an energetic and enthusiastic person! Coxes' Representative This position will be elected at the May Bumps Coxes' Meetings (Sunday 12 June) by the coxes. Current: Mat Bryan (coxing at cucbc.org) The coxes' rep aids the development of coxes within the College boat clubs, including arranging the novice coxes' meeting in Michaelmas term as well as giving the pre-Bumps coxes' briefings and any other ideas you may have! Junior Treasurer This position will be co-opted by the current Executive Committee. Current: Ross Hartley (juniortreasurer at cucbc.org) The junior treasurer takes responsibility for the day-to-day running of CUCBC's finances, including drawing up and distributing bills to the College Boat Clubs and preparing the budget with the Senior Treasurer. Events Secretary This position (1 or 2 persons, as deemed appropriate) will be co-opted by the current Executive Committee. Current: Greg Styger (events at cucbc.org) The events secretary helps with the organisation and running of CUCBC races. While overall responsibility for the CUCBC events will be divided between committee members (so you will not have to do everything!), the events secretary helps out with arranging umpires and organising and distributing umpiring kit. You will also liase with the producers of the Bumps programmes and arrange the presentations and upkeep of the University medals and trophies. A fun job if you want to get involved with running races on the Cam! If you wish to run for one of the above positions, please send a brief manifesto outlining your experience and what you will bring to the position to Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Honorary Secretary, by Wednesday 8th June. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more.
