Following
a Captain's meeting held today, it has been decided that the starting
order for next year's Lent Bumps will be as they finished on Thursday.
This means that Womens' 1st and 2nd hard-fought row-overs still stand!

Bumps Cancelled!
The
County Council have closed the towpath due to the foot and mouth outbreak.
Bumps are therefore cancelled. (No blades are awarded and no university
medals are awarded at this stage.) This is only the 7th time that
Lent Bumps have been cancelled since the Lents and Mays were separated
in 1887. (1915-8 due to the war, and 1895 and 1963 due to ice.) The
starting positions for next year's Lent Bumps are to be decided at
a Captain's meeting.
