We advise crews to take extra care when out over the next few days and to make sure you have mobile phones with you when coxing in case of any incidents. If there are any violent incidents you should call the police immediately and they will also be out patrolling along the river. Please make sure to lock up boathouses securely and perhaps avoid cycling along Midsummer Common when coaching as it will be busy, instead meeting crews further down the river.

Message-ID: Dear all, With bumps starting on Wednesday, we are still short of umpires for some divisions, particularly in the middle divisions of the day (W2 is particularly consistently low on numbers). We also need more umpires for *all* of the last 6 divisions on Saturday. If you have umpired before, please sign up now - we need you! If you are a member of a crew/ captain of a club with a boat that has had to scratch from bumps or was unlucky in the getting-on race, please consider doing a few umpiring slots or asking others within these crews if they would be interested. Umpiring is great fun and also gets you a free dinner the week after bumps! You only need experience of racing in two sets of bumps to umpire.

There is no longer a Darwin IV crew and therefore all crews below them (bottom of M5 and all of M6) will move up 1 place. Clare Hall M2 are now in division M5.

The results from today are available here . *Notes from the Umpires* - All crews must marshal on time, there were far too many crews arriving late today and delaying racing due to being out of order. We will not wait for you if you are too late to get to the start. - Coxes please check behind you before clearing to see where racing crews are. - All crew paddling home should expect to be held below the railway bridge to allow the next division to push off. - Crew already above the railway bridge and going home should keep left until past Peter's Posts to allow marshalled boats to push off. - Marshalled crews pushing off to the start should keep left until they reach the railway bridge after which they should resume normal navigation. - Please keep bank party sizes to a maximum of 4 and take care of where you are cycling. The towpath will get busier as the week progresses and we've already had some accidents today. *Fines* - Christ's M2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Corpus Christi M3 - Early celebration - ?20 - Corpus Christi M3 - Impeding chasing crew - ?50 - Darwin M3 - Failure to clear - ?50 - Downing M1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Emmanuel M1 - Very late to marshalling - ?20 - Hughes Hall M2 - Failure to hold it up, early celebration and failure to clear - ?25 - Hughes Hall M2 - Late to marshal due to swapping blades - ?20 - Fitzwilliam M2 - Very late to marshalling - ?20 - Girton M2 - Dangerous coxing on row home - ?30 - Jesus M4 - Late to marshal due to boat swapping - LMBC M1 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - LMBC M2 - Very late to marshalling - ?20 - LMBC M4 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Magdalene W2 - Failure to concede - ?20 - Peterhouse W1 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - Sidney Sussex M2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Wolfson M2 - Dangerous failure to clear - ?50 - Corpus Christi - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Downing - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - First and Third - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Fitzwilliam - Late marshal - ?5 - Jesus - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - LMBC - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Pembroke - Inexperienced marshal - ?5 - St Catharine's - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Trinity Hall - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Clare M1 - This - Consider modelling if rowing doesn't work out for you - Selwyn supporters at Grassy - Banner saying "Try" - Try harder with motivation - M1 division - Too many rowovers - Do something interesting tomorrow otherwise we'll randomise the start order for the rest of the week All fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer ( seniortreasurer at cucbc.org) within 48 hours.

URL: From coxing at cucbc.org Thu Jun 12 09:39:17 2014 From: coxing at cucbc.org (Mat Bryan) Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:39:17 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Information on marshalling for bumps Message-ID: Dear coxes, I just wanted to draw to your attention part of the notes from yesterday concerning the circulation pattern for marshalling for bumps, now that we are on the towpath side. - All crews paddling home after racing, but below the railway bridge, should expect to be held on the reach near the railway bridge to allow the next division to push off. - Crews already above the railway bridge and going home should keep to the left hand side (i.e. reverse of normal navigation) until past Peter's Posts to allow marshalled boats to push off. - Marshalled crews pushing off to go to the start should keep left (i.e. reverse of normal navigation) until they reach the railway bridge, after which they should resume normal navigation. Do not push off and aim directly for the railway bridge, as most of you did yesterday - keep left, then cross over as you would at the normal crossover points. This system will be enforced by an umpire at the railway bridge, who will hold crews travelling upstream to allow marshalling crews to cross over. The system will only work if we all stick to it, so please try to adhere for the rest of the week. Some further points: - Do not overtake in the marshalling zone, generally a queue will have formed for a reason (probably due to someone not following the above plan) - if you try to overtake then you will likely make the situation worse. - Do not be late to marshalling - the marshalling zone overlaps with the racing course, any crew attempting to marshall during racing will be told to park on the Stourbridge common side of the river upstream of the finish until racing has finished, and will not be treated kindly. - For your reference, when marshalling, boats 1 to 6 should occupy the space between the P&E and the start of the apex at Morley's Holt, and boats 7 to 18 between the apex and the railway bridge, unless told otherwise by the umpires. Do not park on the red tape attached to the aforementioned apex. Please let me know if you have any questions, and could Captains please pass this along to coxes, coaches, and their crews where relevant. Good luck for the rest of the week, Mat. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Crew paddling home from racing must wait below the railway bridge until instructed. - All excessive bank party fines will be doubled for Saturday.

There were obviously issues outside of our control, but it was certainly smoother than Wednesday. The points that need reiterating are as such: - Crews on the reach moving upstream must stop BEFORE the Railway Bridge to allow marshalling crews to go down. Try to pre-empt the marshals by stopping in good time. - Crews pushing off should keep left until the crossover point, which is just UPSTREAM of the Railway Bridge - too many crews were keeping left till halfway down the reach yesterday. - Crews coming down from the boathouses to marshal must cross over at Peter's posts and begin left hand navigation before parking. There may be crews coming upstream who you are likely to meet. Crews moving upstream have priority at Peter's Posts, so wait for them next to Stourbridge common. - Any crew arriving late to marshal must not enter the racing course during racing, park on Stourbridge common upstream of the finish and await marshal's instructions. Here are the instructions again in handy diagram form , please check that you understand and hopefully today will go even more smoothly. We understand that the change to the status quo is disruptive, but we believe this minimises the potential for delays if everyone follows the plan. Good luck for today and tomorrow, Mat. (Captains please pass this along to all relevant persons). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We hope everyone hasn't got too sunburnt so far this week. The latest results from today's races are now available here . *Notes from the Umpires* - Please remember bank party sizes are strictly limited to 4 cyclists. The towpath will be incredibly busy tomorrow and can be very dangerous if there are too many cyclists. Please take lots of care when cycling and could clubs also ask their spectators to keep clear of the path during racing. All excess bank party fines will be doubled tomorrow. - Bank parties must not impede umpires. With the busy towpath we need a clear view of the racing. - Please marshal on time tomorrow. Any delays in racing will simply mean everyone will be late for BCD. - Coxes are reminded that they must keep control of their crews upon bumping or being bumped. Your crew must keep on rowing if they get bumped otherwise this can lead to dangerous collisions. *Fines* - Caius M1 - No lifejacket (and only realised 7 minutes before the start) - ?50 + whole crew to wear lifejackets for row up tomorrow just in case - Caius W1 - Foul and abusive language - ?25 - Christ's W2 - Very serious failure to acknowledge - ?75 - Christ's M3 - Rowing at race pace while marshalling into another crew - ?20 - Churchill M1 - Early celebration - ?20 - Clare Hall W1 - Stopped rowing upon being bumped - ?20 - Corpus Christi W1 - Aggressive coxing on row home - ?30 - Corpus Christi M2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Girton M1 - Stopped rowing upon being bumped causing serious collision - ?75 - Girton M1 - Abusive language towards an umpire - ?50 - Homerton M1 - Foul and abusive language - ?25 - Hughes Hall/Lucy Cavendish W1 - Failure to easy after bump awarded - ?30 - Jesus M2 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - LMBC W1 - Excessive greenery (half a tree) - Other half of tree to be used as ballast for tomorrow's race - LMBC M2 - Excessive bank party - ?30 - Magdalene M2 - Noise pollution, constant 3 peeps on whistle at 1 length - A ruler - Magdalene M3 - 7 man racing without shirt - Wear morph suit for racing tomorrow - Pembroke W3 - Late to marshalling - ?20 - Peterhouse M2 - Serious failure to hold it up and early celebration - ?60 - Robinson M1 - Dropped bung, small advantage, did not affect outcome - ?20 - Robinson M2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - Selwyn W1 - Ignoring umpire's instructions - ?20 - Sidney Sussex W2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15 - St Catharine's M5 - Failure to concede - ?20 - St Edmund's M1 - Foul and abusive language - ?30 - Trinity Hall M2 - Practice start at railway bridge - ?20 - Wolfson M2 - Lying down past control - Bring pillows for row home tomorrow - Caius - Failure to provide marshal (2nd) - ?30 - Darwin - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Girton - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 - Jesus - Failure to provide marshal (2nd) - ?30 - LMBC - Failure to provide marshal (2nd) - ?30 - Queens' - Failure to provide marshal - ?15 All fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer ( seniortreasurer at cucbc.org) within 48 hours of this email.
