In an online vote, Captains approved the following amendment to the racing regulations by 22 votes to 4, with one declared abstention:

To renumber existing Regulation 2(d) as 1(d) but reword as follows:

"Postgraduate members of the University are eligible to compete for their College in CUCBC races until the end of the term in which they sit their viva voce or other final examination; this would normally be their first viva voce examination, except in cases where resubmission and a second viva voce are required by the University authorities, in which case the CUCBC should be satisfied that there has been no unreasonable delay inserted and in particular that Regulation 1a(iii) is satisfied. For the purposes of deciding eligibility, viva voce examinations completed during any period between University terms are considered as the previous term."

[This allows a postgraduate who is required to re-submit to compete in CUCBC events until the end of the term in which they are re-examined.]

The following restrictions were agreed by CUCBC clubs' captains at last year's meetings:

• That the CUCBC Executive Committee shall introduce restrictions on the number of boats that may be on the water between Lighting Down and 0830hrs on Mondays to Fridays in Full Michaelmas and Lent Term as necessary.
• That from the date on which restrictions are introduced until further notice, each College Club will only be permitted to have two boats on the river at any one time in the restricted period.
• That this rule will apply to IVs and VIIIs but not to singles, pairs or tubs and will only apply during the hours stated above.
• That fines for a breach of this rule will accrue to the Club, rather than the crew concerned and that any club in breach of this rule will be fined £50 for a first offence, £100 for a second offence, a training ban of one week for the whole club for a third offence and disqualification of the whole club from all events organised or insured by CUCBC (including College Regattas and Lent Bumps) in that Term for any subsequent offences.
• That the normal appeal procedures will apply to penalties incurred as a result of breaching these rules.

The existing rules relating to novice boating time (07:30) and noise remain in force.
