Thursday

Notes from the Umpires

  • Thank you for another good day’s racing and for baring with us with a couple of delayed divisions due to the need to rerow part of the M5 division, though with everyone’s co-operation we managed to make up time and run back on schedule by the end of the day.
  • Please do not leave litter on the towpath, including empty water bottles at the start – take them with you (they do not add much extra weight to the boat!) or get bank parties to collect them.
  • Please be courteous to other users of the towpath and watch where you are cycling!
  • Bank parties are strictly limited to 4 cyclists (including the Boatman and any VIPs). This becomes especially important on Friday and Saturday when the towpath will get busy with spectators.
  • Do any of the Colleges who run races still have any CUCBC bibs lying around? If so, we would appreciate them back.

Fines

  • Christ’s W2 – Excessive bank party - £15
  • Clare M2 – Foul & abusive language - £20

Friday

Notes from the Umpires

  • Thank you for another good day’s racing despite the weather!
  • The towpath is likely to be very busy tomorrow. Please be courteous to others and watch where you are cycling!
  • Be careful with umbrellas when cycling – do not hold them out to the side of the bike and if standing by the towpath, please make sure your umbrellas are not going to get in the way of cyclists.
  • Bank parties are strictly limited to 4 cyclists (or runners). This will be enforced strictly on Saturday and crews will be heavily penalised if bank parties impede the umpires.
  • Please do not leave litter on Stourbridge Common or First Post Reach. Take your empty water bottles with you, they don’t weigh much...
