Dear all,
The time has come for Umpiring Sign Up. 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 are offered a free dinner
(including drinks) at the Cambridge Blue pub, the week after bumps.
Furthermore, everyone who volunteers for umpiring before Monday 20th Feb will
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. We 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:

The umpires briefing will be on Sunday 26th February, at 18:30, in the Divinity
School, St John’s College. It'll last about half an hour, and I’ll endeavour to
distribute a first draft of the umpiring rota before the meeting.
