Dear all
we are bringing in two changes in practice this term, with the intention of
these remaining in place long term, which you need to know about:
1) Flag. With immediate effect, we will cease using a 'physical flag' at
Goldie. Rather, the web page will illustrate the current flag
Dear all
I know it is the first week that these are in force, but a reminder is
already needed:
The two 'dedicated' hours are 5.30-6.30 pm and 7.00-8.00 pm. The 'changeover
period' is 6.30-7.00 pm.
During the dedicated hours, ONLY eligible VIIIs are permitted on the stretch

A quick warning. It's come to our notice that there have been a couple of
incidents of rocks being thrown at crews in the vicinity of the Plough recently.
The police have now been informed, and advise that for the minute coxes ensure
that they carry a mobile phone with them during outings.

a small session on my soapbox. I'm hearing too many instances of both crews and
bank parties abusing opposing crews and supporters after bumps. We are
following some of these up.
However, please apply a reality check - the Bumps is a sports event. Yes, you

Dear all
sadly, I have issue a very strong warning to all clubs. Despite my previous
e-mail re flags, it seems that some consider following the flag rules optional,
and, further, are prepared to disregard the direct instruction of a CUCBC
Committee member in respect of following these rules.

Two basic reminders:
1) crossing points in the Plough and Gut. Please remember that upstream crews
have right of way at both these points. In other words, if you are approaching
either point coming downstream, and there is a crew or any other vessel coming
upstream towards it, you must stop and

please be aware that I will be away from Cambridge with limited e-mail access
from tomorrow afternoon (Sat) until next Sunday morning. If there are any
messages you would normally send to me that you want to be sure have been seen
and dealt with in my absence, please ensure you also se
Dear all
Although conditions today are clearly improving, there are still threats to the
running of the Pembroke Regatta tomorrow. This may happen if the water level
rises again with melting of last night's snow further upstream, or through the
EA's use of the sluices at the different locks to
Dear all
before someone asks, time to remind about these:
Practice bung line starts are permitted from boathouses on the Monday and
Tuesday of Bumps week. Even though racing starts on Tuesday, they are not
permitted on Sunday, not least as many crews will be boating or returning from

Dear all
in the light of a serious accident below Bait's Bite, which many will be aware
of from the message boards, I need to remind clubs and in particular coxes of
the rights of way below the lock. You need to remember that:

this has come up again. Ian's last message could not be clearer...DO NOT do

clubs who ignore this are likely to find themselves in court.

Dear all
With the clocks going back on Saturday night, this means it will be possible to
boat earlier in the mornings from next week. PLEASE remember that this is a
critical time for noise complaints, as local residents will doubtless notice
the change. Please remind all your crews, coaches, co
dear all
given thick fog is forming just outside Cambridge where I live, and the latest
forecast, I'd suggest there is a high chance of at least a yellow flag if not
red tomorrow morning, so check before heading to the boathouse and, whatever
flag status is in force, apply common sense with any
Dear all
I'm sure everyone is aware that the river is now getting busier, as we get both
shorter daylight hours and this term's novices get further in their outings.
On the river, this has led to a number of incidents over the last few days.
Some of these inevitably have been in the 'grey' area

After a number of people have suggested this, and as we have done in previous
Bumps in memory of prominent members of our rowing community, we will hold a
minute's silence in advance of both the women's and men's first divisions on
Saturday in memory of Ian Thompson. This will take the

meant to improve later. Please ensure you have competent (and enough!) bank

further to my earlier message, we have carried out another river inspection
late morning, and at this point we confirm we are intending to run M2/W2 and

Thank you for the cooperation and efforts of the divisions we did manage to run

Dear all
with massive thanks to all involved again, towpath clearance is now almost
complete, and we confirm that racing will take place as planned today for all

conditions to be expected. Thank you for taking our warnings seriously and

Dear all
at present the forecast for today is for high winds comparable to Thursday's
conditions in the middle of the day. If so, this will affect at least the first
two divisions racing (1240 and 1320), and possibly later though is forecast to
drop quite quickly.
