Friday

Notes from the Umpires

A crew had a bump disallowed today since they bumped by rowing into a stationary boat at race pace. Do not row into stationary crews.

Row home sensibly: maintain normal navigation and do not attempt unsafe crew swapping.

Bank parties: when not moving, please step off the towpath and keep it clear - both after your crews have bumped out and on the way down to the start.

Tomorrow the towpath will be very busy, particularly for the later divisions. Cyclists must watch where they are going and spectators should be on the grass, not the path.

Bank parties are strictly limited to four. This includes boatmen, college masters, alumni, VIPs, and anyone else. Crews with excessive bank parties may not be allowed to start the race.

Captains: please make sure your club knows that supporters should not run alongside the race. This is very dangerous and will be fined as an excessive bank party.

Remember that everything is two hours earlier on Saturday!
