This will be in the Old Hall, Girton College. What3words: ///degree.tolls.audio *In-person attendance for the novice and senior coxes' briefing is mandatory for all those coxing bumps* *unless a prior arrangement for truly immovable commitments on a Sunday evening has been discussed. There will be a sign-in sheet sometime during the briefing. Senior Coxes briefing - 1850-1920 - In-person only Novice Coxes briefing - 1920-2000 - In-person only Hopefully you will already be aware of this from your captains. I appreciate this is a distance to travel however we have been severely limited on suitable venues which we could confirm in time. (I would suggest group cycle/walk/bus to and from) (*unless proxies arranged for senior coxes only as per rule 24.: http://www.cucbc.org/handbook/racing/bumps) Regards Limeng Zhu CUCBC Executive Committee On Behalf of Cambridge University Combined Boat Clubs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Minimal noise before 0730 above the railway bridge - no coaching from the bank nor coxes seat, and most definitely no shouting from the bank. (unless required for safety reasons.) If you are doing reach runs you must cease excessive noise (ie stop coaching and turn down loud coxboxes) when upstream of the Railway Bridge. Several complaints have now come through, and crews identifiable will be fined. Please notify your coaches of this as well, as the crew will be fined if a loud coach is present with them. Note that persistent complaints risks restrictions being placed on college rowing from the council/Cam Conservators, which does no-one favours. Please be mindful of the other river users and residents. Regards. Lee On behalf of The CUCBC committees. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Apologies to everyone else. Ro Thompson has agreed to run a briefing for any interested coxes on the 1st of March (next Wednesday) at 7:30pm. The briefing will be online and a link circulated closer to the time. 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. Ro has been coxing for nearly 20 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 very 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. Best wishes, Isabel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
