Final results:
With great sadness we announce that Ian Thompson died on 24th September 2009.
Our sympathies are with his wife, Ann, and those close to him.
As we all know, Ian has been central to the Cambridge rowing community, and we cannot even start to express our feelings at this loss.
Tributes have been paid to Ian across Cambridge:
In accordance with Rule 34, college clubs are required to provide Early Morning Marshals during the Michaelmas and Lent terms according to the rota.
The Michaelmas rota is now available:
» Early Morning Marshals Rota
» Early Morning Marshals Instructions
Clubs failing to provide marshals and those who provide incompetent marshals will be fined.

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 May Bumps 2009 took place 10th-13th June, many thanks to those who competed and congratulations to First and Third and Pembroke for retaining the men's and women's headships respectively.
Final results:
The new weekend rowing restrictions were agreed by the Captains at the Easter Term 2009 Captains' Meeting.
The weekend restrictions above now apply ALL year round.

» Notes and Fines from the Umpires
Thank you all for a good week's racing - we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. See you in the Mays...
The following guidelines for the use of the yellow and red flags have been produced by the CUCBC Safety Advisor, Dr Tom Davies.
A yellow flag will be set at 22.00 hours in preparation for the following morning if, based on the Meteorological Office Cambridge forecast:
At lighting down minus 30 minutes or 06.00 hours the yellow flag will be confirmed for two hours or lowered. There will be no strict criteria for this as the decision will be taken based on personal observation of conditions at the river. However, suggested guidelines are that the flag should continue to be raised if:
A red flag will be raised if conditions are unrowable, such as completely frozen or if the water level has risen 1.5 metres or more. Discretion will be exercised when the water level is between 30cm and 1.5m above normal.
