This programme is for those student-athletes in your squad with the drive and ambition to compete for the Cambridge against Oxford in the 2015 Boat Race. The development is open to senior, experienced and talented novices from your respective teams. Can you please take the time to read the attached information sheet on the Athlete Development Programme and distribute to your college club members and those that may be interested in representing the university in rowing. Thank you for supporting the CUBC Athlete Development Programme and the CUBC squad as we build towards the boat race on 6th April 2014. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your college crews the best of luck for the upcoming Lent Bump races.

Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action - either by cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire along the course. As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires will be offered a *free dinner*(including drinks) at the Cambridge Blue pub, the week after bumps. Those who volunteer to umpire also count towards their college's marshal allocation. You don't need to have umpired before. There will be a meeting for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' one during racing. However, we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before so that you understand how the races work. Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. 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 . The umpires meeting is currently scheduled for Sunday 23rd February @ 17:30 in Robinson College Umney Theatre and should last about half an hour. So, why not get involved and click here to sign up!(Why not invite your friends too?) If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at events at cucbc.org Philip Garsed CUCBC Events Secretary events at cucbc.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We advise rescheduling any lower boat outings over this weekend in case the river conditions are bad for the next 3 days as predicted in the forecast.

There are no restrictions on which crews may boat. Outlook: Stream still looking a little fast but not anywhere near as fast or as high as it has been over the last few days. Do take care but with a limited number of boats and little wind it looks ok.

The river is closed to all crews. Outlook: River levels are dangerously high and stream is fast. River levels continue to rise. Robinson Head today will most likely be unable to run in these conditions. The CUCBC Committee From tom at cucbc.org Fri Feb 7 13:04:44 2014 From: tom at cucbc.org (Tom Grimble) Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2014 13:04:44 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] River conditions over the next few days Message-ID: Dear All So as you've probably seen we dusted off the red flag for the first time in a while today. With the river many metres up the bank horizontally and the stream to match getting a boat pushed out safely let alone racing is going to be a challenge. I thought I would email to get you up to speed on our thinking and expectations for flag this weekend so I don't have to answer 30+ individual emails on the subject and also to help you plan your club's training time given how little time we have before bumps now. We have further heavy rain forecast tonight and then tomorrow another of these storms with it's 50mph wind gusts due to blow through over 2 days I have a strong feeling we may not be seeing a rowable river this weekend. We need a good few days without serious rain to let the river levels calm down and I can't see this happening easily based on this forecast. The committee will be checking conditions later this afternoon and around 10 am tomorrow to see how the river fares overnight. Please remember that even if the flag is green or yellow and a crew is permitted to boat, then the DECISION TO GO OUT RESTS WITH THE COACH AND COX OF EVERY BOAT. Your clubs have to take responsibility for these decisions and truly consider if your crews are able to handle the conditions you are presented with. As has been said before the flag is not so much about individual competence, but how many boats can safely use the river at one time. Don't you just love British weather =) Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The river is closed to all crews. Outlook: The river is very high, and conditions do not appear to be getting any better. With further rain forecast overnight, it is likely that river levels will continue to rise. The river is therefore closed to all crews, including University crews. The situation will be reviewed frequently over the weekend and updates posted to the Captains' list as and when things change.

There are no restrictions on which crews may boat. Outlook: PRE-EMPTIVE GREEN FLAG. River levels appear manageable for most crews, and stream is low (though still present). There's no more rain forecast overnight, though because of moderate winds predicted tomorrow morning, the flag will be re-assessed in the usual fashion. Remember though, A GREEN FLAG DOES NOT MAGICALLY MAKE YOUR CREW OR COX COMPETENT. A green flag means that your lower boats may go out if their cox and coach believe it safe to do so. A second boat that has been training regularly may be OK, a fourth boat on their second outing of term almost certainly isn't. Please be sensible, else we shall have to be much stricter in the way flags are set in future.

This currently means that the bank of the common is a construction site and will be fenced off preventing access from the cycle path to the the river's edge. Clearly this is not ideal with this space due to be used for marshaling and our assembly area for upcoming rowing events. CUCBC are currently engaged in discussions with the contractors, Conservancy, City Council and CRA to aim to minimise the disruption this is going to cause. At the moment we are aiming to ensure that only a partial stretch of the common bank is closed off at any time until the end of the Lent Bumps with the contractors focusing on a short stretch (about 100m) immediately downstream from the Green Dragon footbridge so at least part of the area is still usable. As soon as we have more info we will let you know. Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The river is narrow and navigation is tricky at the best of times. We have had a number of incidents of crews practicing a start and nearly colliding with an oncoming boat. This needs to stop before a near miss turns into a full head on collision. Thankyou Tom Grimble CUCBC Honorary Secretary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In particular, there are several spaces in the earlier divisions on Tuesday to Friday. If you have haven't quite got round to signing up yet, now is your time to do so - it only takes a couple of minutes to fill the form in and you really wouldn't want to miss out on the free dinner would you? Captains - do encourage people in your clubs who haven't umpired before to give it a go. Not only does providing umpires reduce the number of marshals required of you for bumps, but people with experience of helping to run races can be very handy if your club organises a race, as well as for coaching. No umpiring experience is necessary, just experience of rowing/coxing in two sets of bumps. The umpires meeting is currently scheduled for Sunday 23rd February @ 17:30 in Robinson College Umney Theatre and should last about half an hour. The sign-up form is here: http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup Any questions, contact me at events at cucbc.org Philip Garsed CUCBC Events Secretary events at cucbc.org P.S.

There are no restrictions on which crews may boat. Outlook: Preemptive green for tomorrow, to be reassessed in the morning. Please remember that all outings should be tailored to the conditions. This may mean not doing starts in a crosswind when counting down from 20, and it might mean turning around and going home if conditions are beyond what you can comfortably cope with.

If you are or know of any cox with previous bumps experience or that has trained for bumps and his/her crew did not make the getting on race, please contact me ASAP. Our M2 are in Div 3 and are really keen and fun bunch with a lot of potential. Payment in beer, cake or both will of course be provided.
