Wednesday Notes and Fines

[Zara Bek]

Dear all,

 

The results of Lent Bumps 2026 so far can be found here. The notes and fines for Wednesday can be found below, and here.

Notes from the Umpires

• Welcome back and thank you for a successful first day of racing and here are some reminders:

• Concessions must be a clear raise of the hand. Keep your hand nice and high, hold it as high above your head as possible.

• The finishes for the O4/W4 division are as follows: bottom finish is the railings and top finish is the railway bridge. Crews 1-9 in the W4 division are racing until the railway bridge, crew 10 gets the choice and crews 11-12 are racing until the railings. All crews in the O4 division are racing until the railings.

• Handheld filming at any time is unacceptable. Cameras mounted to bikes, people and boats are ok.

Fines

• Dear all,
   
  The results of Lent Bumps 2026 so far can be found here. The notes and fines for Tuesday can be found below, and here.
  
  
  Those going out in this morning fog are reminded they must have lights on as long as it remains foggy.
   

  Notes from the Umpires

• When clearing to the inside of Grassy corner, please do not clatter into the moored boats. When pushing off from them, do so above the waterline and under no circumstances push off below the waterline.

• When clearing, please make sure the river is clear ahead.

• Please wind it down, but continue rowing, after your finish, particularly if other crews are stationary or moving slowly beyond the line.
