There are no restrictions on which crews may boat. Outlook: High crosswinds forecast tomorrow, expect flag to turn yellow, most definitely by 3pm. Flag will be assessed before 11am tomorrow. Novice coxes and crews should consider if an outing is safe and productive given the current forecast.

There are no restrictions on which crews may boat. Outlook: Forecast for today has improved to below yellow flag levels. But it's still very windy! A green flag does NOT give automatic licence to boat: all crews must complete their own safety assessment before boating, novice crews and novice coxes must consider if they are safe to boat and can competently steer in wind. Flag will be monitored throughout the day.

The CUCBC Committee From limeng at cucbc.org Mon May 17 12:45:20 2021 From: limeng at cucbc.org (Limeng Zhu) Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 13:45:20 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Overtaking crews. Message-ID: Dear All, At the Captain's meeting yesterday we asked all clubs to ensure they are maintaining safe navigation, especially around the gut area. Unfortunately we have received reports from members today that there have been "blind" overtakes from crews coming by around bends and corners, especially on the bend on the Promenade, which have almost caused collisions/incidents. Individual clubs will be contacted as a warning, unless the navigation/safety offense is extreme enough to warrant a fine and/or removal from the river. This is for your own safety, the safety of your crews and those using the river. *You MUST NOT overtake if you cannot see it is safe to.* Even if the crew you are overtaking has given permission to 'come by', it is up to your cox and crew to ensure it is safe to. Bank parties can cycle ahead to check the river, coxes have overall responsibility and should refuse to overtake unless they are confident it is safe to do so (i.e. they can see clear water, or a bank party has checked there are no oncoming crews.) *If the situation does not improve we will not hesitate to ban clubs who are putting the safety of their members and the members of the collegiate and town rowing community at risk.* The CUCBC Committees. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Crews eligible to boat under yellow flag should check conditions on the reach and assess if an outing is safe/productive.

The CUCBC Committee From conor at cucbc.org Sun May 23 00:05:56 2021 From: conor at cucbc.org (Conor Burgess) Date: Sun, 23 May 2021 01:05:56 +0100 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Umpiring Eights Regatta Message-ID: <871AFE15-FAF3-4A0D-9BD4-3171C457EA58@cucbc.org> *Captains please forward this message to the relevant people in your clubs* Dear all, The Umpiring Sign Up for Eights Regatta is now open. 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. Everyone who volunteers for umpiring before Friday 4th 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 briefing for all umpires ahead of racing where we will explain everything and answer any questions you may have. However, we do ask that you have either: Helped to organise / umpire / marshal a race on the Cam before OR rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before OR rowed or coxed in at least two side-by-side regattas before. Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. We suggest you leave one umpiring slot clear before your race and one after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The provisional division times are available here: http://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/times (GoR here: http://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/gor ) The umpires briefing will be on Zoom, likely 12th / 13th June. 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: https://www.cucbc.org/eightsregatta/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...
