During Easter Term, any VIIIs in the first or second division of the May Bumps may boat. 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.

This is just a reminder that there is a briefing *tomorrow* for any interested coxes on marshalling and racing on Tideway. I'd very very strongly recommend this to any cox planning to race WEHoRR or ManHORR this year. The briefing starts at 7:30pm tomorrow (3rd March), in the Cripps Court Auditorium of Magdalene college. *NB* This isn't within the main college site, but just round the corner on Chesterton Road and can be found on this map: https://map.cam.ac.uk/?inst=magd&loc=2#52.212261,0.116740,17 Captains - I'd be grateful if you could pass on this reminder to any interested coxes who may not be subscribed to the CUCBC cox mailing list.

It went round the captains list a few minutes ago, but is being copied here to get a wider circulation. Very best wishes to all in this difficult time, Isabel ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dr David Munday Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 at 13:08 Subject: CUCBC statement: SBR CANCELLED and other matters. To: Committee , Senior Committee < seniorcommittee at cucbc.org>, captains at lists.cucbc.org < captains at lists.cucbc.org> Dear friends, I regret to have to let you know the following, taken in the light of advice from the University and BR and the government: - The Small Boat Regatta is cancelled - refunds will be arranged for those who have entered, in due course. - The Easter term captains' meetings will not be held. - We have not yet been instructed directly to cancel large events, but we will monitor evolving government, BR and University advice over the coming weeks and update you when we have a clearer picture as to the Mays. You will probably have received information via your Colleges about the overall emergency planning in the University, which it is not my business to repeat here, but the CUCBC aims to follow this advice closely, and to be consistent with it: one statement is at https://www.cam.ac.uk/ coronavirus We would like to stress that we're all volunteers and none of us are experts in public health. Clubs must continue to exercise their own judgement and common sense. However, with that said, we have the following thoughts: 1) Our interpretation of the statement by the Prime Minister yesterday evening (specifically that 'now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact with others') is that we would discourage crew outings at the moment. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-statement-on-coronavirus-16-march-2020 . We have also noted the British Rowing guidance issued prior to the government statement, which can be found at https://www.britishrowing.org/2020/03/ceo-update-on-coronavirus-covid-19/ - all BR events are suspended until at least the end of April. 2) There are a few races scheduled in the coming weeks organised by CRA clubs. They will each make their own assessment of whether it is appropriate to postpone or cancel - at the present time the decision as to whether or not to enter is left to individual crews. We understand from informal contacts that many of these races will not run. We will be in touch as and when we have more to say, in the meantime please do what you can to look after yourselves. With all best wishes, David Munday.
