Rule Change - Flags
Please note that, following a vote at the last Captains' meeting, Rules 13b and 13c in the 2007-08 Handbook have been amended with immediate effect to read as follows:
13(b): That only University crews with the specific permission of one of their senior coaches may row when both the Red and Yellow Flags are flown at Goldie Boathouse.
13(c): That only University crews, first boats and boats in the first two divisions of the May Bumps (Men) or first boats and boats in the first division of the May Bumps (Women), first fours, or tub pairs be allowed on the water when a Yellow Flag is flown at Goldie Boathouse. In the case of tub pairs, Rule 17 applies and, in addition, the person steering must be competent and experienced.
Under Yellow Flag conditions, members of crews permitted to boat under these regulations may do so in small boats provided that they have the express permission of their Club Captain and/or Boatman and subject to the conditions outlined in Rule 18.
Please remember that these rules are 'permissive' and that it is still up to each cox of crews eligible to boat under a Yellow Flag to determine whether or not it is safe for his or her particular crew to do so.
