**Captains please forward this message to any members of your club who may be interested in umpiring**
Dear all, With only a few short weeks until the start of the Lent Bumps (25th February - 1st March), we are looking to recruit umpires<http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup>for this year's racing. Umpiring is a great way to get involved in the racing and you get the chance to be right at the centre of the action - either by cycling along with the crews or acting as a static umpire along the course. As a 'thank you' for your time, all umpires will be offered a *free dinner*(including drinks) at the Cambridge Blue pub, the week after bumps. Those who volunteer to umpire also count towards their college's marshal allocation. You don't need to have umpired before. There will be a meeting for all umpires ahead of racing where we explain everything and all new umpires are paired with a 'senior' one during racing. However, we do ask that you have rowed or coxed in at least 2 sets of bumps before so that you understand how the races work. Please remember that you can both compete and umpire. I suggest you leave 2 divisions clear before your race and 1 after to allow you to get to and from the boathouses. The division times are available here<http://www.cucbc.org/lents/times> . The umpires meeting is currently scheduled for Sunday 23rd February @ 17:30 in Robinson College Umney Theatre and should last about half an hour. So, why not get involved and click here to sign up!<http://www.cucbc.org/lents/umpires/signup>(Why not invite your friends too?)
