The CUCBC Committee From michael at cucbc.org Wed Oct 7 20:22:36 2015 From: michael at cucbc.org (Michael Thornton) Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2015 21:22:36 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Start of Term Notes Message-ID: <81F913E9-4F80-4D84-BB40-7EECA2B00088@cucbc.org> Hello Everybody Just a few start of term ?reminders?, along with some very important notices which you will probably want to read. Reminders for College Rowing Lights in the 15? after Lighting Down, and the 15' before Lighting Up. No novice boats on the water before 0730. No coaching from the bank above the railway bridge before 0730. Minimal coxing above the railway bridge before 0730. If your crew needs constant instruction, don?t boat until 0730. Do not boat without PFDs firmly attached to coxes and bow balls firmly attached to boats. No novice boats out in a Yellow Flag. Novice boats must be accompanied by a coach on the bank. Yellow Flag: 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. The flag is not a license to boat. If you boat in conditions you cannot handle and get into trouble, Mark will follow it up. Rowing below Baitsbite Lock is restricted to University crews, first boats, and any other boats in the top two divisions of the May Bumps. In Michaelmas and Lent, rowing below Baitsbite is not allowed on any weekday between 0830 and 1300, or after 1630. Play nice. Notices University IVs Uni IVs will run between the 26th October and the 30th October. Entries will open shortly. Lent Bumps You will hopefully be aware that at the end of last year the captains voted to move the Lent Bumps dates from ?the 6th Tuesday to the 7th Saturday of Lent Term? to ?the 7th Tuesday to the 8th Saturday of Lent Term?. Provision was made to reverse this change in years that the Lent Bumps would clash with WEHORR. This year is such a year. The captains voted to avoid the clash with WEHORR, therefore, by my reckoning, the Lent Bumps 2016 will be held between Tuesday 23rd February and Saturday 27th February. Early Morning Marshalling The EMM Rota is currently being updated and uploaded to the CUCBC website. This will be finished by the weekend at the latest.

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: Very foggy. All crews must have lights. Shall change to green once it clears.

The CUCBC Committee From michael at cucbc.org Tue Oct 13 11:12:49 2015 From: michael at cucbc.org (Michael Thornton) Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:12:49 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Coxing out of hours for Town Clubs Message-ID: <9F56BAE9-4D0E-4099-8BF1-0CF3BCCD93B2@cucbc.org> Dear Captains We?ve had some queries regarding the impact of coxing out of hours for town clubs on CUCBC event eligibility (Rule 9). The current interpretation is that Rule 9 applies to rowers only; coxes may cox with town clubs out of hours whilst remaining eligible for CUCBC events. We intend to reword the rule at the next captains' meeting to make this more explicit. Best Michael Thornton CUCBC Honorary Secretary 2015-2016 From eg432 at cam.ac.uk Fri Oct 16 08:20:29 2015 From: eg432 at cam.ac.uk (Edmund Gazeley) Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 09:20:29 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Girton Coxes Message-ID: <4987a73fbee20899f176d91beecdff0d@cam.ac.uk> Hi all, I'm the coxing rep for Girton, and essentially all of our coxes have graduated/retired/started trialling all in one go this year. Our senior women are looking for a cox for at least the first half of term, until I can train up some novices! If you're interested, either in subbing a few outings, or a more regular role with our ladies, please get in touch with me (eg432). Best, Ed GCBC Coxing Rep 2015-16 -- Edmund Gazeley President, Cambridge University Heraldic and Genealogical Society Classics, Part II Girton College, University of Cambridge From conor at cucbc.org Mon Oct 19 20:08:01 2015 From: conor at cucbc.org (Conor Burgess) Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 21:08:01 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Leptospirosis & Weil's Disease warning Message-ID: <38A6C355-F31A-472C-A76A-B58F548857E4@cucbc.org> Dear all, Captains please forward onto your clubs. The University Safety Office has asked CUCBC to pass on some information regarding Leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection which can cause mild flu like symptoms, but in rare cases can develop into Weil's Disease, which can be life threatening. Rowers and Coxes are at risk of contracting Leptospirosis from the River Cam, especially if river water gets in contact with cuts or is ingested. Rowers are advised to use waterproof dressings on cuts wherever possible, avoid swallowing any river water and to use water bottles with sealable lids (to avoid water in the bottom of the boat coming into contact with the lip/opening of the bottle). If you think you may have contracted Leptospirosis, or want to find more information, this NHS website has more.
