[CUCBC Coxes] Early morning noise control: reminder

[Mat Bryan]

Hi All,

This is a reminder for all those who didn't have to sit through the novice
coxes talk this year (but may have forgotten since they did), that early
morning noise is something that we as a community need to control. This is
particularly important now that the clocks have gone back and a lot of
outings are starting at ~0620.

Control needs to start on arrival at the boathouse - this includes chatting
by the water (coaches included need to keep their voices down), putting the
boat on the water quietly, not shouting down from a window in the boathouse
etc.

Once on the water, cox-boxes need to be kept to a minimum volume and
commands should be limited to those that are essential (even at the expense
of potential coaching points). This state must be maintained until the
Railway Bridge or until 0730, whichever is reached sooner. Be aware that
passing above the Railway Bridge (moving upstream) before 0730 means that
quiet-running is again necessary.

Please pass this on to boatmen and coaches, even mid-outing, particularly
if coaching is happening over/through/near a moored boat (which it
shouldn't be under any circumstances before 0730).

This email was prompted by my observations of multiple crews and coaches
making a lot of unnecessary noise by the P&E at ~0625 over the last few
days, and in previous weeks by the boathouses.

Mat.

(Captains please pass this on to your clubs, coaches, boatmen, and so on).
