From chair at cucbc.org Thu Mar 1 11:55:15 2018 From: chair at cucbc.org (Dr David Munday) Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2018 11:55:15 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Thursday RACING CANCELLED In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear All, We have assessed both river and towpath conditions mid morning today, and after careful discussion the CUs have decided that the combination of very low temperature, high wind and windchill, and frozen towpath surface, mean that racing cannot safely take place today, Thursday. Today's racing is therefore cancelled completely due to safety reasons, and in particular the risks of consequences that could rapidly become extremely serious in the event of significant delays or accidents during racing. We are continuing efforts to see if gritting the towpath is allowable or practicable, but it is already clear from the County Council's initial response that we would need formal permission to do so ourselves. We would caution that with a further very cold night forecast and subzero temperatures and snow on Friday in the daytime, no significant improvement in conditions currently looks likely, but we will again assess later today and tomorrow morning -- Dr David Munday, Chairman, Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs -- Dr David Munday, Chairman, Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unfortunately the CUCBC committees do not have the person power to get anywhere near to achieving this, but we would be happy for colleges to have a go if they can. Please note however that this is not a guarantee that gritting the towpath will guarantee we can run races; the salt may not clear the towpath sufficiently, further snow and/or ice could cover it up and make it unsafe again, the river could freeze, or the air temperature / wind chill could be so cold we can't risk people sitting around stationary, etc. - you get the idea; it's not a guarantee, but it would certainly help improve the odds. If you do wish to help, rock salt can be purchased from many of the builders merchants in and around Cambridge. Please keep your own well-being in mind, and ensure you have suitable footwear to stay upright and sufficient clothing and hot drinks etc. to keep warm. Under no circumstances should anyone be pressured into going down onto the towpath if they do not willingly volunteer.

The wind is forecast to drop gradually from early afternoon. At this stage, therefore, we are CANCELLING W3/M3 for today, but at present will delay a decision on W2/M2 and W1/M1 until as late as we can following further inspection late morning/lunchtime. We will announce the decision on whether these divisions will run by 1300 AT THE LATEST. Should any racing go ahead, please be aware that bank parties will be limited to a maximum of 2, preferably 1, cyclists (any others who get to the start may only cycle back on the towpath AFTER the divsion has raced). We would also emphasise that racing crews and coxes should remind themselves very carefully about the safety aspects of bumping itself, and in the circumstances be prepared to use common sense to acknowledge inevitable bumps as early as possible, to help with subsequent river clearing. Should racing of these divisions go ahead, W2 will start at 1440, and the remaining divisions every 40 mins thereafter. Please can all crews be sure to marshall well on time (not least this will allow us to start each division as soon as we can when we have you all on the start, rather than havig to wait for sometimes several minutes with the higher divisions). Please also remember and apply the general advice about bringing and wearing when necessary dry warm clothing, hats, gloves. Thanks, and sorry for the frustration all this must be causing.

Also, a VERY big thanks to all those who helped with towpath clearing, this was a very big effort, and without it the racing would not have been possible. Our intention at present is to run the full planned set of races tomorrow, ie all divisions. This will still be dependent on the continued forecast weather improvement, as well as the state of the towpath. So everyone is clear, we will announce a final confirmation of racing going ahead by 1100 tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Before then, you will probably have noticed that it is currently snowing and settling again. There already plans via the Facebook group to organise further towpath clearing from 0800 tomorrow morning (thanks again, and please be involved if you can and it is needed), and we will have inspected the towpath before 0800 to identify which parts require attention. Assuming all planned divisions do run tomorrow, then they will run to the normal timing schedule except, as with today's races, we will try to start each division as soon as we can after we have all crews on their stations (which also means that please can each subsequent division marshall promptly. Also, and again assuming the towpath condition is as good as today, we will return to 'normal' bank party numbers, ie max 4 per crew. And finally, a last reminder to all rowers and bank party members to bring enough warm clothing and to use it!

So it should respond fairly well to scraping rather than the chipping needed last time. There are also nice clear sections in Ploufh reach - huge thanks again to this who cleared it Thursday/Friday! Most awkward spots are probably around the gut and stations 10-18. Air temperature is up which is softening it a bit and wind speed hugely down. We are still hoping to run all races subject to weather staying calm and the towpath being safe for bank parties.

The first race will be at 1240, and crews for that division should aim to be on their stations by 10 mintutes before that (1230), which will we hope enable us to complete the 'split' division without delaying the subsequent division. A couple of reminders: please can all crews marshall promptly for their divisions during the day. As yesterday, we aim to start each divsion as soon as practicable after all crews are on station, and to do so we need to know the next division is marshalled on time. It being Saturday, as well with the continuiing cold (but improved) conditions, we will not be considering rerows today (unless, possibly, we had to restart almost an entire division after a problem right at the start) We will provisionally return to a bank part size of a MAXIMUM of four cycles, but will monitor how well this works in the early divisions. Be aware that, whatever the bank party size permitted, any 'extra' cyclists MUST NOT cycle anywhere in the division and can only follow up the towpath at the end behind all racing crews. Infringements of this will be severely penalised as it is very clear this continues to be a safety issue in the current conditions. Please be aware that, although thaw is now happening, many roads and pavements, as well as boat house hards, may still be very icy, so take great care when coming to either boathouses or the river. And, finally, again wear and carry appropriate warm clothing. ThanksPete -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
