From izzy at cucbc.org Wed May 8 13:22:06 2019 From: izzy at cucbc.org (Isabel Nimmo) Date: Wed, 8 May 2019 14:22:06 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Rowing during lightning Message-ID: Dear all, This is a quick reminder of British Rowing's guidance on rowing during/shortly after thunder. From: https://www.britishrowing.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Row-Safe-April-2019-Chp-9.pdf "Club Officers are expected to: 1. - Adopt the 30:30 rule on lightning." The short version is that if the interval between flash and rumble is less than 30 seconds (it currently is), then outings should be abandoned, and should not resume until 30 minutes after the last thunder clap. Also, it's really wet out! Isabel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There will be a prize for the best (ie the fastest, smoothest arc) line at grassy corner, judged by a very experienced bumps cox. Provisional times will available immediately after each division at RowClock: http://www.rowclock.com/Results/Index Entries are now open at the X-Press web site: http://www.xpressbc.org.uk/head/entry/237-xpress-head-2019 .

Please pass this onto all of your bank parties and coxes so they can be ready and vigilant around that area.

The Senior Cox briefing will be held 6:30-7pm. The Novice Cox briefing will be held 7-7:45pm. Novice coxes (defined as those who have not competed *as a cox* in a set of CUCBC* run bumps before) must attend in person, unless they receive prior 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. 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 7:45pm.* Best wishes, Isabel * CUCBC rules are somewhat different to CRA, Torpids, Eights and Oxford town bumps, so I'm afraid they don't count. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please adjust your outing times accordingly. Best wishes, Conor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action - either by cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire along the course. As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires are offered a free dinner (including drinks) at a pub the week after Bumps. 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!). You don't need to have umpired before. There will be a meeting for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' one during racing. 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. Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave two divisions clear before your race and one after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here: http://www.cucbc.org/mays/times The umpires briefing will be on Sunday 9th June at 18:00 in Emmanuel College. It'll last about half an hour, and I?ll endeavour to distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting. You can sign up here: http://www.cucbc.org/mays/umpires/signup If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at conor at cucbc.org Many thanks, Conor -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
