Dear all, Girton's men's side is in great need for a senior cox for the rest of the term. If you have a senior cox (anything more than a term) in your club who is not coxing any boat this term but still is interested in coxing, this might be a chance for him/her to gain experience with a good senior boat. Any commitment of 2 to 5 outings a week is welcome. This would either be for our M1 or M2 depending on the cox's experience. A remuneration can be offered, depending on the cox's commitment and ability. Thank you, Raffaele Russo GCBC Men's Captain 2013/14 mens.captain at girtoncollegeboatclub.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This means that EVERYONE has to take responsibility to help things keep moving in the morning. *1) Slow warm-ups* It has come to our attention that many crews are insisting on doing slow warm up exercises on the paddle downstream from the boathouses. This causes queues of traffic behind a boat doing arms only exercises. This is a plea to all coaches and coxes. Please avoid slow warm ups and keep your crew rowing at the very very minimum *half crew-half slide*. If you need to do slow exercises please save these for along the Reach where there is more room for other crews to overtake safely. Please be considerate of every other crew on the river when making your training plans. Marshals will be noting anyone holding up other crews unnecessarily. *2) Navigation* Please make sure that your novice coxes are fully aware of the navigation rules (i.e. stay on the right except at the crossover points etc). We've had a number of potentially nasty incidents along the narrow stretches of the river where crews have failed to act before a collision or blade clash. Please act responsibly and safely and *STOP* before steering errors become a potential collision. Coaches in particular, please keep a close eye on your novice coxes and help them out if necessary. It takes a lot longer to disentangle 2 crashed boats than it does to stop rowing, re-position and restart. Also please be considerate of other river users in particular moored residential boats. If you end up rowing into the side of a boat please keep blades off their hull by pulling them in and use the fenders to push off so you do not damage their hull or paintwork. Also please apologise! If you hit a residential boat in the morning you have most likely woken someone up. *3) Spinning* Please keep all spinning to the set spinning areas (i.e. Jesus and Baitsbite locks plus Chesterton and the bottom of the reach). Make sure you do not spin in front on oncoming crews and please *spin quickly* and *get out of the way* once you are round. Sitting in the spinning area just leaves everyone getting fed up and cold! *4) Early morning noise* Our final reminder is to keep quiet in the early mornings. This doesn't just include coaching from the bank before 7:30am but also includes keeping your whole crew quiet while they are getting ready and warming up and keeping the cox box volume low. Oh yeah, and using a megaphone in the morning.... DEFINITELY NO! Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Clubs in breach of this rule will be fined ?50 for a first offence, ?100 for a second offence and a one week training ban for the whole club for a third offence. Full details of the rules can be found here . Regards Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you are planning an outing around this time please endeavor to give way to let this take place. Many thanks Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Date: 19 November 2013 15:52 Subject: [CUCBC Exec Committee] Memorial Row Past 23rd November 2013 To: committee at cucbc.org Dear all Just to let you know that there will be a Row Past in memory of Toby Wallace (Goldie 97, Blue 98 and 99) this Saturday at around 2.45pm. This will be past the Goldie Boathouse and the crew will consist of members of Toby's crews which will include Olympic Gold Medallist, Kieran West, as well as a number of other Olympians. Please can you let all the College Boat Clubs know that this is happening so they are aware and can pay their respects.Toby was an amazing man and as a rower he came up through the College system - he noviced at Jesus College in his first year, raced in Goldie in his 2nd and the Blue Boat in his 3rd and 4th Years. His 98 crew still hold the record for the fastest Boat Race with a time of 16 minutes and 19 seconds. He rowed across the Atlantic for charity last year and was sadly killed during a charity ride from Lands End to John O'Groats in July of this year. Many thanks for you help in this Best wishes Julie Hogg Alumni & Events Officer, Cambridge University Boat Club -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <04F7741D-A11A-4C84-BA0E-935D477240C8@cam.ac.uk> The new season has kicked off and Nines are looking to expand our enthusiastic coxing squad. We are open to all levels from those who fancy giving it a bash to the ultra keen. There are opportunities with both the mens and womens squads, from the senior aiming for Henley to the novices completing their first race. It is easy as well to combine coxing for college and Nines :). As part of the Nines you will have the opportunities to train / race on & off Cam. You will also be encouraged to attend our regular coxing workshops run by very experienced current and ex-coxes as well as having access to mentors with a wealth of knowledge to help you and your crews excel. On the top of excellent coaching Nines provide a very friendly, supporting atmosphere. If this is of interest to you just drop an email to captains at cambridge99.org. We?ll get back to you as soon as possible, looking forward to hearing from you.
