From conor at cucbc.org Wed Mar 2 00:32:59 2022 From: conor at cucbc.org (Conor Burgess) Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 00:32:59 +0000 Subject: [CUCBC Coxes] Tuesday Results and Notes & Fines Message-ID: <921B542D-FD89-4072-9526-7F7F3C1E26CD@cucbc.org> Dear all, The results of Tuesday?s racing are available here: http://www.cucbc.org/lents Notes from the Umpires? It is wonderful to be back racing Bumps again. The Chief Umpires would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has made this possible. Crews should carry on rowing upon being bumped until they are clear of the bumping boat. Failure to do so puts your own cox in danger. It is the responsibility of all coxes to know where their finish is, and ensure they wind down once their whole boat has passed it. Please remind bank parties that handheld filming is not allowed. They much use a handlebar mount or hemlet mount or similar if they'd like to film the races whilst cycling. Bank parties are strictly limited to three cyclists. Only one member of each crew's bank party should approach Control or the Chief Umpires at a time. Please remind bank parties to be aware of members of the public who have every right to use the towpath during the races. There are new hazards around the new footbridge, where members of the public may be joining the towpath without being aware of the race in progress, so please take care to avoid collisions with them. A credit card was handed in at Control. If anyone in your club has lost one, please let us know.

Please remember to observe correct navigation when rowing home, including after the final division of the day. The weather on Saturday is set to be both wet and cold. All crews should ensure they have ample dry kit, and a means of keeping it dry in the boat or with bank parties. Sandwich boats, or boats which may become sandwich boats, are strongly encouraged to have a second set of dry kit. You?re welcome to use the toilets at Control to change whilst you?re waiting after your first race. The towpath is likely to be even busier on Saturday, so please take care when cycling. In particular, please take care in the muddier sections, and be aware of members of the public, who may not be fully aware of what?s going on and step out unexpectedly etc. Bumped out crews MUST stop at the Railway Bridge on their row home to allow the next division to push off and row down.

Ro Thompson has agreed to run a briefing for any interested coxes on the 8rd of March (tomorrow) at 7:30pm. 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. A link to join will be circulated later today. 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 exceptionally well placed to offer guidance on handling racing on the Thames. I will absolutely be attending, and I'd strongly urge any college coxes planning to race this year to come along too.
