From flag at cucbc.org Sun Feb 1 10:03:26 2015 From: flag at cucbc.org (flag at cucbc.org) Date: Sun, 01 Feb 2015 10:03:26 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Yellow Flag Message-ID: The flag is Yellow. Boating is restricted to University crews, first VIIIs, men's crews in the top 2 divisions of the May Bumps and women's crews in the top division of the May Bumps as well as first fours and tub pairs. Members of crews permitted to boat under a Yellow Flag may do so in fours or small boats (i.e. single and double sculls and pairs) with the express permission of the Club Captain and/or Boatman. Outlook: High wind speeds again, forecast to continue for the rest of the day, so the flag is unlikely to change. An advisory flag will be set this evening for tomorrow (Monday) morning.

Getting on Race (GoR): The GoR will take place on Friday 20th February. It is run over the Colquhouns course (i.e. from the Little Bridge to a post 78 yards below the Railway Bridge). Further information will be sent in the coming few days. Please note that if a boat that had a place in the Bumps last year does get on, it will be returned to its original starting position (potentially above 1st boats which do not have to get on, for instance). Please note that no-one who has gained first Lent or May Colours or a Trial Cap, or who has rowed in, steered or been a reserve for any of the CUBC, CUWBC or CULRC crews may row in the Getting-on Race UNLESS the Getting-on Race crew concerned is the Club's second or third crew. (Rule 28) Please note that no-one who has rowed or steered in a successful boat in the Getting-On Race row or steer respectively in a higher boat during the races which follow, except with the permission of the Executive Committee, which shall usually be given only in cases of accident or illness. (Rule 29) Umpiring for the Bumps: A large number of umpires is required for the Bumps to run smoothly and fairly. Please sign up: http://www.cucbc.org/node/421 to contribute to the overall success of this term's Bumps. Best of luck, Wilf. Genest CUCBC Hon.

Please pass this on to coaches etc in your club if they are not on the coxes list. Crews travelling *UPSTREAM* have priority at both crossing points. Upstream means going from Baitsbite lock back towards the boathouses: if in doubt throw a twig in the river and watch which way it goes. If you are going downstream and see another crew coming, stop and wait. There have a been a lot of incidents of crews attempting a quick crossover ahead of an upstream crew as soon as they see them coming. This normally ends in both crews crossing to the same side and they end up on a collision course. When you crossover you should do so quickly and you should also make your manoeuvre at the position of the signs that mark the points, not 50+ metres early as you come out of a corner.

Captains and Coaches, please make sure your coxes understand the contents of the slides if they weren?t in attendance (and even if they were for that matter). In particular: 1) Do not under any circumstances row into a stationary crew. 2) Know your finish. Crews 1-9 Top Finish (Railings for M4/W3, Peter?s Posts otherwise), crews 11-18 Bottom Finish (Downstream Spinning post at Ditton for M4/W3, Upstream side of Railway Bridge otherwise), crew 10 can choose (crews 1-9 remain legal targets for crew 10 until they have passed top finish). 3) For the M4/W3 division, the finishes are determined by the station on which you start, not your position in the start order. For example, crew 4 in the W3 start order is on station 10 and it is therefore this crew that has choice of finish! Any questions should be raised sooner rather than later.
