A reminder of the Wildlife guidance from the Cambridge River Users Group (also found in our Guidance for Coxes and Coaches).
There are three swan families which coxswains / steerspeople should be looking out for:
(Updated 13th June 2023)
Weekend Rowing: First VIIIs may boat from 11:00am on both days. All other crews may boat from 11:15am on both days.
Early Morning Restrictions: Crews boating within 15 minutes of lighting down must carry white lights visible through 360o. Novice crews may boat from 07:30am.
Evening Hours will be in effect during 17:30-20:00 on weekdays during Easter Full Term for first boat training only. Please see the Evening Rowing page for more information.
Details of forthcoming closures of the river to CUCBC crews are shown below. All are for the river downstream of Chesterton Corner / Green Dragon Footbridge and upstream of Baitsbite lock unless stated otherwise. Where an event allows row throughs for Senior Crews, these are defined as crews which may row below Baitsbite lock (i.e first boats and crews in the first two divisions of May Bumps).

A one-off side-by-side Regatta held on the Long reach, to replace the cancelled 2021 May Bumps.
The June Eights Regatta ran from Monday 21st June to Thursday 24th June.
Further information is available on the June Eights' Regatta page.
The University IVs 2018 will run from Monday 22nd October to Friday 26th October. Entries will open shortly after the captains' meeting, and will close on Friday 12th October. Entries must be made through college captains' CUCBC accounts, and further information will be disseminated through captains' CUCBC email addresses, so please ensure these are handed over from last year's captains where necessary. All competing crews will be expected to provide marshals to ensure the safe running of the regatta.
The CUCBC privacy policy has been updated in light of recent changes to legislation. The latest version can be found here.
The new Early Morning Marshals' rota for this term has now been updated.
In accordance with Rule 34, the College clubs are required to provide marshals to enforce the early morning noise and traffic restrictions.
Marshals should arrive at their station promptly at lighting down and remain in position until 08:30. They should read the instructions on the website before arriving for duty - Marshals Instructions
Please check the rota very carefully for your club's slots. Clubs will be fined for failing to provide competent marshals.
If you have any queries about marshaling, or if marshals experience problems while on duty (lost equipment or unforeseen circumstances), please do not hesitate to contact the Executive Committee (committee@cucbc.org).
The University Safety Office has asked CUCBC to pass on some information regarding Leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection which can cause mild flu like symptoms, but in rare cases can develop into Weil's Disease, which can be life threatening.
Rowers and Coxes are at risk of contracting Leptospirosis from the River Cam, especially if river water gets in contact with cuts or is ingested. Rowers are advised to use waterproof dressings on cuts wherever possible, avoid swallowing any river water and to use water bottles with sealable lids (to avoid water in the bottom of the boat coming into contact with the lip/opening of the bottle).
If you think you may have contracted Leptospirosis, or want to find more information, the NHS website has more.

Marshals should read the instructions on the website before arriving for duty - Marshals Instructions
