<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Dear all,</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'd just like to remind you that we're still looking to recruit umpires for this year's May Bumps. It's a great way to be part of the racing (without too much physical effort) and enjoy being by the river in the sunshine.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">If you have haven't signed up yet, do so now! I'll be arranging the rota from next week and the quicker you are, the more likely you are to get to do the slots you want - don't forget there is also an excellent free dinner at stake!</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">No umpiring experience is necessary, just experience of rowing/coxing in two sets of bumps. If you haven't tried it before, give it a go - there is a good reason so many umpires return year after year.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
