*Captains: Please pass this message on to anyone in your club who may be
interested in CUCBC Committee Positions*



Dear all

With the May Bumps fast approaching and the academic year almost over, we
are starting to think about appointing next year's CUCBC Executive Committee.
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 and umpiring the major races) tend to be shared between
committee members
who will work together throughout the year.

If you wish to run for any of these positions, please send a brief
manifesto outlining your experience and what you will bring to the position
 to Tom Grimble, CUCBC Honorary Secretary (tom at cucbc.org <dan at cucbc.org>),
by Sunday 2nd June. I also strongly recommend getting involved in umpiring
this year?s May Bumps (details of which will follow in  the next few weeks).

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to know more.****

**

*CUCBC Honorary Secretary*

*This position will be elected at the pre-May Bumps Captains' Meeting
(Sunday 9th June) by the College Captains. Candidates will give a brief
speech to the Captains before they vote.*

* *

*Current: Tom Grimble (tom 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!****

**

*Junior Treasurer*

*This position will be co-opted by the current Executive Committee.*

* *

*Current: Evelyn Tichy (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.*

** **

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 liaise 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!****

**

*Coxes' Representative*

*This position will be elected at the May Bumps Coxes' Meetings (Sunday 9th
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!****

**

In addition to these positions, the CUCBC Committee also comprises the
Honorary Secretaries of the three University clubs (CUBC, CUWBC, CULRC).
Each of these clubs have their own election procedures which will be or
have already been circulated by the current Honorary Secretaries.****

** **

We look forward to hearing from you!****

Hi,

we are looking for a cox to sub into our W1 for the outings on 11.05 and
15.05 at 1 pm.
We are looking as well for a regular cox for W2 - a rather promising crew
training hard for Mays.
Let me know if you are interested!
(and we offer free cake if you join us!)

Thanks a lot,

Message-ID: <CAOK3EhAi=S-q4p=UpvM2XiBNFvw6=JMzrbsUSf59zmRKfxfQUA@mail.gmail.com>

**Captains, please pass this email on to anyone in your clubs who may be
interested in umpiring**

Dear all

The time has once again come for CUCBC to put out the call for umpires to
come forth from near or far and keep this year's May Bumps from descending
into carnage.

Umpiring is a great way to be involved in the most exciting races of the
year and you get to be right at the centre of the action. The bumps simply
would not happen without the help of umpires.

 If you've never umpired bumps before now is your chance, we only ask you
have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before.

There will be a briefing for all umpires on Sunday 9th June at 17:30 in
Robinson College Umney Theatre, which will last about half an hour.

If you would like to help please sign up at the link below.

Signup to umpire HERE <http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup>

Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. As a rule I suggest
you leave 2 divisions clear before your race and 1 after to allow you to
get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available
here<http://www.cucbc.org/mays/times>
.

If you have any questions please do get in touch with me.

As a thankyou to everyone who signs up to umpire during the week there will
be a free dinner and drinks the week after the races.

PS: If you sign up by the end of this week, your umpiring slots will count
towards your college's marshal slots!

**Captains, please forward this information on to all your crews competing
in the GoR**

The Getting-On Race for the May Bumps 2013 will take place on Friday 7th
June.

*Marshalling Instructions*

All crews will race in a single division.

All men's cews should be marshalled in reverse order upstream of the
railway bridge i.e. bottom crew furthest downstream. All women's crews
should be marshalled in reverse order upstream of the men's crews (i.e.
Morley's Holt to P&E)

Crews must be marshalled in position at Chesterton by 15:40 and racing will
start from 16:00.

All crews will then be instructed to head down to the start and should
remain in order.

All men's crews will spin at the lock altogether and pull in on towpath
side in racing order. The women's crews will follow suit and pull in
downstream of the men's crews. If there is insufficient space the front
women's crews should remain tucked in on the opposite side downstream of
the start until there is space to pull in on towpath side

The men's crews will race first followed by the women's crews with a short
break in between.
