The Snowdon Rowing Challenge is a fundraising event for the Snowdon Award Scheme in celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of Lord Snowdon coxing Cambridge to victory in the 1950 Boat Race. It will take place in London on Friday 5th March. It will be the finale of a major event celebrating Lord Snowdon’s eightieth Birthday, 29 years of his charity’s work, and the launch of the Snowdon Award Scheme Alumni.
The top six university boat clubs (Cambridge, Imperial College London, Oxford, Oxford Brookes, Reading and University of London) have all enthusiastically agreed to take part in the challenge.
The following guidelines have developed over time to establish a threshold between those who occasionally sub into town crews, and those who might use town clubs to avoid CUCBC rules and/or gain an advantage over other CUCBC clubs.
Firstly, if you learnt to row (or rowed with) a particular town club before starting university, you are free to row for that club without limitations and without affecting your eligibility for CUCBC competitions.
The following activities however are likely to render a rower ineligible for CUCBC events.
Occasional subbing for town club training outings is acceptable.
In any case though, if you have any involvement in a town club yet wish to compete in CUCBC comptitions please declare yourself at the start of each term. CUCBC will then confirm whether your particular circumstances are ok, and can answer any queries if they arise.
The guidelines above are an indication of how the CUCBC will treat situations that are declared. Formal rules will be agreed by the captains in due course.
The following rule will be in place from Monday, 25th January, 2010 until Saturday, 27th February, 2010 inclusive. It was decided to be introduced during the Captains' Meeting of 21st January.
"That for the 10 minutes following lighting down, no boat will be permitted to be on the water, save for college first VIII's and university crews."
(As it is now after 27th January, this rule is no longer in force.)
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 Lent 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.
Thanks to all who came to the Novice Coxing Talk a few weeks back.
The slides from the talk are now available below.

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.

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.
