Dear college coxes,

While things are still a bit uncertain, we?re looking at the possibility of
a return to coxing in the next couple of months. I?m very aware that we?ve
all had very little water time over the last year, and training and
development has been seriously interrupted for many of us.

A couple of senior college coxes have agreed to run an informal ?coxing
seminar? session on Wednesday the 10th at 7pm (UK time). A link to join
will be circulated closer to the time.

Callum Mantell has been coxing Emmanuel first boats for years, as well as
for CULRC, Bedford Star and Cantabs.
Katie Kirk coxes for Churchill (five years in first boats, most recently
W1), as well as being overall captain last year and previosuly racing with
CUW and Robs/Lysander.
I?m ?. old. But I?ve been around for a while at Emma, Lucy Cav, City of
Cambridge and Cantabs.

We?re aiming to each talk on a specific topic, and then open things up to a
more general discussion/Q&A. The plan is to try and give some ideas and
pointers for people who have been coxing for a while, but have had a bit of
an interruption to their coxing careers and who want to get back on form as
quickly as possible once training becomes a thing again.

Best wishes to you all,

Isabel

Hi all,

Plan is still to meet for a chat and a set of brief talks tomorrow at 7pm.
After some playing about with options, I've gone with GoogleMeet. I've
popped the link below. It works fairly well for presentations. It's a bit
less good for chatting, so if people could try and keep their microphones
on mute when not talking, that would be great. But a lot of the benefit is
being able to have a more free-form Q&A/chat/sharing of tips etc. So at the
same time, please don't hesitate to unmute if you do want to say or ask
anything!

meet.google.com/jxm-hrhv-pmd

Hope to see some of you there.

Best wishes,

Isabel

Dear all,

We?ve received this message from the Boat Race organisers. Please do heed their request, and pass it on to anyone who may be thinking of attending.

Best wishes,
Conor


The Boat Race will be closed to spectators to enable the races to take place in a COVID-secure way. Gemini Boat Race 2021 asks fans
to stay home and watch live on BBC. The race will be broadcast live on BBC One from 15:00-17:30 on Sunday 4th April.

With many national restrictions still in place, the Boat Race will this year be a closed event on the Great Ouse at Ely in Cambridgeshire on Sunday 4th April. There will be no access to spectators, to enable one of the world?s oldest and most famous amateur competitions to return to the British sporting calendar in a COVID-secure way.

The Oxford and Cambridge Men?s and Women?s crews, their coaches and The Boat Race Company, who organise the event, would like to thank all fans, and the local communities of Ely and Littleport, for their incredible support and ask them to please help make this a safe and secure event by staying home to watch it on the BBC.

Following the cancellation of the 2020 race, and as the country continues to adhere to distancing measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year?s unique race will have all the excitement of the usual race format, but without spectators.

Working with local stakeholders and all relevant agencies, The Boat Race Company are confident of the delivery of a COVID-secure event for the athletes who have been training hard for this race, and for fans watching the event on the BBC.

Safety is of paramount importance to enable the 2021 race to go ahead in this unique format. The Boat Race Company are putting a number of measures in place, to first and foremost, ensure the safety of the local community, athletes and staff working on the event, and to stop spectators from gathering, running the risk of COVID restrictions being breached, which could see the event being postponed or cancelled.
