Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Coxing on the Tideway (WEHoRR & ManHORR)
Message-ID: <CAPREJqGdT67puAJUM6xq_sOMewNq1vv__JoMgi_XJn_uwedTPA@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains and Coxes,

This is only really of interest to those of you planning to enter WEHoRR or
HORR.

Ro Thompson has agreed to run a briefing for any interested coxes on the
12th of March (the Tuesday after bumps) at 7pm. Racing on the Tideway is
not like the Cam - the stream makes positioning of your shell much more
important when racing, and marshalling is considerably more complex (though
no less chaotic...) I can thoroughly recommend this talk to anyone, whether
they've raced on the Tideway before or not.

Ro has been coxing for 15 years, including three years training on the
Tideway with Vesta Rowing Club based in Putney. She has four Tideway
pennants, three from WeHORR and one from HORR. Whilst as Vesta she coxed
the top womens crew to 3rd and 4th place in WeHORR and raced twice in the
elite womens 8s event at Henley Royal Regatta. So she is very well placed
to offer guidance on handling racing on the Thames.

A venue will be confirmed closer to the time, but I wanted to get this into
the diray before the madness that is next week descends upon us all.

Best wishes for the last few days of training, and for racing next week,

Isabel

Message-ID: <CAPREJqGudJKbUWdO6Q_b3a=Bbus+H-TtTsKof5EBmOzhY5YZGw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Coxes and Captains,

The Lent Bumps Safety Briefings will be held tomorrow (Sunday the 3rd of
March) in the QB Lecture Theatre in Emmanuel college (if you go in the main
entrance by the p'lodge, it's fairly well signposted).

The Senior Cox briefing will be held 5-5:30pm.

The Novice Cox briefing will be held 5:30-6:15pm.

Novice coxes (defined as those who have not competed in a set of CUCBC run
bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive permission to miss
it from the CUCBC Safety Officer. Senior coxes (those who have competed
before) may be represented by another senior cox, provided that
representative undertakes to brief them in turn before the start of racing.

Coxes who fail to sign in and who are not represented by another cox will
not be able to race during Lents.

Members of bank parties and rowers who'd like a bit more insight into what
their coxes might be doing are very welcome to attend either (or both!)
briefings.


*There will also be an informal (and very optional) Q&A with some senior
college coxes on how to race bumps well (in addition to safely) immediately
after at 6:15pm.*

Best wishes,

Isabel

As a brief clarification to the previous (not quite final) message - if you
are planning to race with any sub coxes, they also need to attend/be
represented at the cox briefings.

Best,

Dear all,

There is a definite chance of there being a yellow flag over the next couple of days (probably today, hopefully only today), which coincides with the timing of bung starts practices.

If you have such a session planned in yellow flag conditions, your lower boats may do their starts under the yellow flag. However, their time on the water should be limited to just pushing out, taking 2 strokes and coming back in (then repeat).

Best wishes,
Conor

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 winds. Doesn???t look set to improve before Monday morning unfortunately. Per email earlier, lower boats may do their bung starts under the yellow flag. However, their time on the water should be limited to just pushing out, taking 2 strokes and coming back in (then repeat).

don't worry; it doesn't affect you).

*Notes from the Umpires*

   - A reminder to all cyclists (bank parties, umpires and otherwise) to
   please look behind you before pulling over / jumping off your bike when
   your crew bumps out. Similarly, please look behind you before jumping back
   on / pulling onto the towpath.
   - Thank you to all of the clubs providing marshals today - we're very
   happy to have had a full set!

*Fines*

   - Caius W2 - slow to clear - ?20
   - Clare M2 - Forgot bung, no advantage - ?15
   - Downing M3 & Hughes Hall M2 - Taking the correct decision to hold it
   up to avoid hitting a stationary crew - Commendation
   - Fitzwilliam W1 - Early celebration - ?30
   - King's W1 - Failure to clear - ?40
   - Lady Margaret M2 - Failure to hold it up on bumping - ?40

Dear all,

Thank you for your patience in what proved to be an overly eventful day of racing. Today?s results are available here: http://www.cucbc.org/lents <http://www.cucbc.org/lents>
Notes from the Umpires?

It is essential that crews clear quickly after bumping. The crew which has bumped up only needs to stop for long enough for the boats to separate, and then should immediately begin clearing.
Coxes please look behind you before deciding which side to clear to.
Apologies for the lack of cannons in the first two divisions; matters outside of our control conspired against us unfortunately. Thank you for everyone's understanding and patience in those divisions.
Fines

Caius - Failure to provide a marshal - ?15
Caius W3 - Poor clearing - ?20
Christ's M2 - Easying upon being bumped - ?20
Downing W2 - Causing an obstruction - ?40
Girton W1 - Overshooting both marshalling and the finish - Bring a satnav tomorrow
Magdalene M1 - Foul and abusive language (bank party) - ?50
Magdalene M1 - Unsporting behaviour (bank party) - ?15
Peterhouse M1 - Public urination - ?85
Queens' - Failure to provide a marshal - ?15
Robinson - Late marshal - ?5
Robinson M1 - Dropped bung, slight advantage, but not affecting race outcome - ?50
Trinity Hall M2 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15
All fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior Treasurer (seniortreasurer at cucbc.org <mailto:seniortreasurer at cucbc.org>), within 48 hours of this email being sent.

Dear all
Today's wind is forecast to be high until late afternoon, along with possible showers later and significant wind chill.
Although it's stating the obvious, clearly crews should be prepared for this

We are intending on racing, so crews should marshall as normal, but ensure they do so in plenty of time and bring sufficient warm clothing
Crews should be accompanied by competent bank parties to assist with bringing them in and holding them on the bank.
Maintaining control of your boat and clearing quickly and effectively after bumps is particularly important in these conditions
For purely practical reasons, especially given the cold, we are less likely to consider rerows today given the delays this will pose to waiting crews; if so technical decisions will be based on crew separations at the point of any obstruction arising.

Dear all
a quick note of thanks to follow up on my earlier message before racing re the conditions to be expected. Thank you for taking our warnings seriously and thereby allowing racing to run generally smoothly today. Even where there were potential problems, eg the M1 holdup, awareness and common sense behaviour meant we were able to recover the situation with minimum delay.
Best wishes for the next two days' racing!

Dear all,

Thursday's results are available here [1].

NOTES FROM THE UMPIRES?

 	* Thank you to everyone for their punctuality and patience with the
weather conditions - it made it possible to run everything on time, and
gave the flexibility needed to run the races in difficult conditions.
 	* Coxes should concede when they first feel contact, or when contact
is inevitable; the bows of the boat behind should not be going under 7's
rigger before concession. Before Grassy, sustained bowball level with
the cox for three or more strokes should warrant immediate concession.

FINES

 	* Downing W1 - Late concession - ?30
 	* Homerton M1 - Public urination - ?85
 	* Homerton W2 - Illegal practice start - ?20
 	* Lucy Cavendish W1 - Failure to row on upon being bumped - ?20
 	* Pembroke M2 - Bank party impeding umpire - Warning
 	* Robinson M1 - Dropped bung, slight advantage, not affecting race
outcome (second offence) - ?100
 	* Selwyn W1 - Late to hold it up, leading to failure to clear - ?50
 	* Sidney Sussex M1 - Dropped bung, no advantage - ?15

All fines can be appealed by e-mailing Dan Wilkins, CUCBC Senior
Treasurer (seniortreasurer at cucbc.org), within 48 hours of this email
being sent.

Best wishes,
Matthew

Dear all
at present the forecast for today is for high winds comparable to Thursday's conditions in the middle of the day. If so, this will affect at least the first two divisions racing (1240 and 1320), and possibly later though is forecast to drop quite quickly.
Can I ask all to refresh yourselves on the advice sent before Thursday's racing, which was well heeded. Marshall well on time and bring sufficient spare clothing, and competent and experienced bank party members. Be particularly aware around bumping, acknowledging and clearing sensibly and in full control of the crew. If we do suffer delays affecting later divisions, this will be updated via the website and lists, but unless we notify otherwise you should assume your division's marshalling will be on time.

Please note there are normally no rerows on Saturday. In an early 'checkmate' situation we may consider rerowing a large part of an obstructed division, but even that will be difficult under the current forecast.
Can I also re-emphasise the importance of rowing home safely and sensibly after your race, and in particular no swapping around of crew members or cox.
ThanksPeteCUCBC Chief Umpire

Hi all,

Please get this message to all of your crews, coxes and bank parties. We?re having a real problem with bumped out crews not stopping before the Railway Bridge when rowing home. They must stop and wait for the next division to push off - it?s currently slowing down every division!

Notes from the Umpires?

Message-ID: <CAPREJqHZgbmv86PFGMLpgLss+ES3Nvi_JyaMgZHCh=TYQA4WUg@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Captains and Coxes,

I hope you've all survived Lents (and BCD!) This is only again only really
of interest to those of you planning to enter WEHoRR or HORR.

As a reminder Ro Thompson has agreed to run a briefing for any interested
coxes on the 12th of March (tomorrow!) at *7:30pm in the Jock Colville Hall
in Churchill college*. Racing on the Tideway is not like the Cam - the
stream makes positioning of your shell much more important when racing, and
marshalling is considerably more complex (though no less chaotic...) I can
thoroughly recommend this talk to anyone, whether they've raced on the
Tideway before or not.

Ro has been coxing for 15 years, including three years training on the
Tideway with Vesta Rowing Club based in Putney. She has four Tideway
pennants, three from WeHORR and one from HORR. Whilst as Vesta she coxed
the top womens crew to 3rd and 4th place in WeHORR and raced twice in the
elite womens 8s event at Henley Royal Regatta. So she is very well placed
to offer guidance on handling racing on the Thames.

Best wishes, and I'll see some of you tomorrow,

Isabel

Senior coxes preparing for tideway heads should be ok; less experienced coxes should think critically about whether they can handle their boat in a crosswind before attempting the reach.

We don?t set the flag outside term time, but for reference the conditions today are definitely yellow, bordering on red/yellow. Anyone still considering an outing should make an assessment of the reach before heading downstream!
