[CUCBC Coxes] Umpiring May Bumps 2019

[Conor Burgess]

Thanks to everyone who has signed up for umpiring so far. We’re about 2/3 of the way to the number we’ll need, so please keep encouraging people who might be interested to sign up!

Thanks,
Conor

Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring before Thursday 6th June 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.
