CUCBC Committee Positions 2011-12

With the May Bumps fast approaching and the academic year almost over, we are starting to think about appointing next year’s CUCBC Executive Committee. There are four open positions, all of which are open to any member of the College boat clubs.

  • CUCBC Honorary Secretary
  • Coxes' Representative
  • Junior Treasurer
  • Events Secretary

Involvement with the CUCBC Committee is fun and rewarding and a good way of giving something back to College rowing in Cambridge, so if you are enthusiastic about college rowing and would like to get involved on the organisational side, please do consider applying for a position.While there are a number of defined jobs, responsibilities (particularly organising races) tend to be shared between committee members who will work together throughout the year.

If you wish to run for one of the above positions, please send a brief manifesto outlining your experience and what you will bring to the position to Dan Wilkins (dan [at] cucbc.org), CUCBC Honorary Secretary, by Wednesday 8th June.

Umpiring Lent Bumps

We are looking for volunteers to help out umpiring the Lent Bumps. It is important that we have a full compliment of Umpires to ensure that the races run smoothly.

Please do consider helping out. Umpiring is a really fun way to get involved in the Bumps - you get to see and be involved in the action from up close on the towpath, either cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire at key points on the course. In addition to this, you will get a free dinner, probably the week after Bumps and umpiring will reduce the number of marshals that your club needs to provide.

To help out, you don't need to have umpired before although we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of Bumps in the past. There will be a meeting for all umpires where we will explain everything and those that have not umpired before will be paired with a 'senior' during the races.

If you would like to help out, please sign up here indicating which divisions you are available for (division times).

You can both compete and umpire (although obviously don't sign up to umpire a division you're competing in!)
