Friday Notes and Fines

[Tony Ford]

Morning everyone, 
Thanks for another (mostly) safe and successful if wet day of racing. Results are up on the website. Please read notes and fines below, noting especially the earlier start times today:

Notes from the Umpires:

• There are currently raised levels of e.coli in the river - crews are advised not to jump or throw anyone into the water
• Crews are reminded that swapping coxes and rowers on the row home is strongly discouraged, and will be fined if they impede bumps activities 
• A reminder to all crews that all times are 2 hours earlier tomorrow
• While we endeavour to provide toilet facilities at Control, these are running out of supplies unusually quickly so it may be useful to bring a toilet roll in case they run out during tomorrow!
• Reminder that practice starts must be prompt and countdowns just not exceed 10 seconds
• Coxes must pay close attention to the crews around them, both ahead and behind, and both respond rapidly and stay in control of their crews as soon as an acknowledgement occurs or a bump is given. Coxes should also acknowledge immediately and clearly as soon as a bump happens
• Headship medals will be available from control after racing concludes
