Wednesday 8th April 2020:
Dear friends,
This is to officially confirm that the 2020 May Bumps scheduled for 10-13 June are cancelled. This is in line with the general transfer of the University to a virtual existence, and with BR and government advice.
We look forward to reconvening in happier times, and will be in touch again as soon as appropriate.
With all our best wishes,
David Munday on behalf of the CUCBC committees.

Tuesday 17th March 2020:
Dear friends,
I regret to have to let you know the following, taken in the light of advice from the University and BR and the government:
- The Small Boat Regatta is cancelled - refunds will be arranged for those who have entered, in due course.
- The Easter term captains' meetings will not be held.
- We have not yet been instructed directly to cancel large events, but we will monitor evolving government, BR and University advice over the coming weeks and update you when we have a clearer picture as to the Mays.
You will probably have received information via your Colleges about the overall emergency planning in the University, which it is not my business to repeat here, but the CUCBC aims to follow this advice closely, and to be consistent with it: one statement is at https://www.cam.ac.uk/coronavirus
We would like to stress that we're all volunteers and none of us are experts in public health. Clubs must continue to exercise their own judgement and common sense. However, with that said, we have the following thoughts:
- Our interpretation of the statement by the Prime Minister yesterday evening (specifically that 'now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact with others') is that we would discourage crew outings at the moment. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-statement-on-coronavirus-16-march-2020.
We have also noted the British Rowing guidance issued prior to the government statement, which can be found at https://www.britishrowing.org/2020/03/ceo-update-on-coronavirus-covid-19/ - all BR events are suspended until at least the end of April.- There are a few races scheduled in the coming weeks organised by CRA clubs. They will each make their own assessment of whether it is appropriate to postpone or cancel - at the present time the decision as to whether or not to enter is left to individual crews. We understand from informal contacts that many of these races will not run.
We will be in touch as and when we have more to say, in the meantime please do what you can to look after yourselves.
With all best wishes,
David Munday.
