Hi all,

* Captains please forward to your experienced rowers *

One final push would be appreciated - about 10 more people will make the rota a lot better for everyone. I’ll start to organise it all tomorrow evening, so sign ups by 18:00 tomorrow (Monday 19th) would be great!

Best wishes,
Conor

Without Umpires, the Bumps simply can't go ahead safely, so please forward this message onto anyone who has Bumps experience (two sets minimum please), especially those who aren't competing this term.

Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring before Monday 19th Feb will count towards their college's marshal allocation (if you sign up after this, please drop me an email!).

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.
