Tuesday
Notes from the Umpires
- You may have gathered today it is going to be cold and potentially very wet. Please ensure that all crews have adequate kit to keep them warm while marshalling and waiting to row home. It is not the umpires' responsibility to provide you with extra kit!
- Please bring bank parties while marshalling. It is important we get crews marshalled quickly without messing around - bank parties can help you pull in if it is windy.
- If we are running late, we will cancel one or both of the practice starts - please do not do practice standing starts if instructed not to (you can still wind it up while rowing down and do a rolling start).
- Please note a change to marshalling arrangements. Tomorrow, M3 will marshal at Chesterton (not on the Reach). All other divisions as normal (i.e. M4 at the start, W3 on the Reach and others at Chesterton).
Lost Property
A silver ring was found - if it is yours, you will be able to pick it up from the control desk.

Wednesday
Notes from the Umpires
- When you bump you must hold it up straight away - as soon as the cox in front concedes or you are instructed to by the umpires. Once you have stopped, clear the river immediately.
- If you are rowing over, do not stop on the finish line as you will impede racing crews.
- Please note a change to marshalling arrangements. Tomorrow, W2 will marshal at Chesterton (not on the Reach). All other divisions as normal (i.e. M4 at the start and others at Chesterton).

Thursday
Notes from the Umpires
- Crews must not stop on crossing the finish line - keep paddling light as there will be racing crews behind you!
- Once you have bumped (or been bumped), clearing the river must be your priority. Do not just sit in the middle of the river and once over to the side, tuck your bow and stern in and do not let them drift out.

Friday
Notes from the Umpires
- In the case of high stream/wind, please try to pull over to the towpath side where possible to save your boat drifting. This may however, not be possible if crews are racing close behind your bump.
- It is a good idea to bring bank parties to assist with marshalling if the wind/stream is high.
- Please row home sensibly tomorrow. It is generally not a good idea for one of your crew to give coxing a try for the first time on the row home. Crews causing problems will be penalised.
- There will be 1 minute silence for Ian Thompson before both the W1 and M1 divisions tomorrow. This will be just before the 1 minute gun. A gun will fire at 5 minutes to mark the beginning of the minute's silence, then the 4 minute gun will mark the end. The 1 minute and start guns will fire as normal. Please ensure all crews and bank parties in these divisions are aware of this.
