Friday

Notes from the Umpires

Remember that all Divisions start TWO HOURS earlier tomorrow so be on time.

There are no rerows on the last day of Bumps, unless a whole Division, or large part of it, is being rerowed.

DO NOT use Foul and Abusive Language. You are reminded that Bumps can be disallowed, or cancelled (even after an event is over) , and crews/clubs disqualified from future competitions in extreme cases.

Please tell all your bank party members and supporters to put their rubbish in the bins provided or take it home. Crews should ensure that water bottles are not left at the start.

When a crew is bumped, they should row on and clear, if it is safe to do so. Stopping dead in the middle of the river is not safe, and could result in a serious accident.

Thursday

Notes from the Umpires

After racing, crews should row straight home clear of the course. Once you have finished racing and pushed off again, there is no need to stop for a second time (or wait around) on the Long Reach.

Bank parties carrying megaphones may not use them for coaching - they may be used for safety purposes only.

When rowing home, please keep to the right side of the river as there may be traffic moving in the opposite direction.

When practising starts, please count down only from 10 seconds - there is no need for longer countdowns as this holds up the rest of the division.

Lost Property

An Emma hoodie and CCAT gilet were found and can be picked up from the control desk tomorrow.
