Avoid Spinning at Ditton Message-ID: Dear all Just want to bring your attention to the fact the following rule is now in force: *"That during the ten days preceding the Lent and May Bumps and the week preceding the University Fours Races, no boat may spin between the Little Bridge and Peters Posts except at its own risk."* Please try to work your outing plans around this from now until bumps. The reason for this is to reduce the risk of collisions between the large number of crews doing full course pieces and any pileup of crews waiting to spin at Ditton. This should also make it easier for everyone to practice racing the full bumps course so following it is in everyone's best interest!

The 4 remaining crews have been randomly assigned a position in the start order as follows: - Clare VI - St Catharine's IV - Hughes Hall III - Churchill III The women's race is still scheduled to go ahead tomorrow with 11 crews competing for 9 places. Because of the significantly reduced size of the race, marshalling for the race will now be at Baitsbite. Crews should be in position at the lock pulled in on towpath side by 15:55 to race at 16:00.

We had a number of re-rows but managed to get back on time at the end with your help. The results from today are now available on the CUCBC website. *Notes from the Umpires* - After a number of dangerous incidents today, please be aware that any crew that rows into a stationary boat will be disqualified from racing for the rest of the week. This is incredibly dangerous and could easily lead to someone getting seriously hurt. - When you bump out, you must clear the river as quickly as possible. Do not celebrate before clearing and get straight into the bank as the rest of the division will be coming up at speed behind you! - Bank parties are strictly limited to 4 cyclists. This includes the boatman, coaches and any VIPs. Excessive bank parties are extremely dangerous, can obstruct the umpires and will therefore be heavily penalised. - The bank party limit also includes runners or other people who join your crew later on down the course. Please tell all your college members that unless they are part of the allotted bank party they are not allowed to follow a crew. - Also be aware that the towpath is used by people commuting in the evenings and all cyclists should be careful of members of the public and not obstruct other cyclists or pedestrians. *Fines* To appeal any fine please email Dan Wilkins (dan at cucbc.org), CUCBC Senior Treasurer, within 48 hours of this email. - Caius M4 - Dangerous coxing, hitting a stationary crew - ?50 - Caius M2 - Failure to clear - ?30 - Christ's W1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Churchill W2 - Late to hold it up - Warning - Clare W4 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Clare W3 - Dangerous coxing, hitting a stationary crew - ?75 - Clare M3 - Slow to clear - Warning - Downing M4 - No lifejacket - ?50 - Downing W2 - Stopped rowing after being bumped - Warning - Emmanuel M4 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - First and Third M2 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Hughes Hall M1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Jesus M4 - Early celebration - ?20 - LMBC M4 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Magdalene M4 - Dangerous coxing, hitting a statioanry crew - ?50 - Pembroke M1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Selwyn M4 - Urinating in direct view on the towpath - ?80 - Selwyn W2 - Stopped rowing after being bumped - Warning - Sidney Sussex W2 - Dangerous failure to clear - ?50 - St Edmund's M1 - Failure to hold it up - ?25 - St Edmund's M1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Wolfson W1 - Failure to hold it up on bumping - ?20 - Anglia Ruskin - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Jesus - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - St Edmund's - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Murray Edwards W3 - Mid race breather - Bring a picnic for tomorrow - Girton M2 - Expertly executed log clearing spinning while marshalling - Half of the offending article as a trophy - Christ's M2 - Displaying their raw strength in dragging the log onto the bank - The other half of the offending article as a trophy Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
