2nd Mar '23	Lent Bumps 2023	by CE
Welcome to First and Third and our coverage of the 2023 Lent Bumps, which will take place from 7-11 March. Note that this year each women's division (for W3 and higher) will be racing after the men's division of the same rank, rather than before as in previous years, so if you are racing then be sure to check your division times. Messages from the towpath will appear below, and you can find the latest Bumps charts on our results page. Up to six First and Third crews will be racing, depending on results in the Getting-On Race. Division times (these are race start times - marshalling times are earlier): Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat W4/M4 1400 1400 1400 - 1240 M3 1440 1440 - 1320 1320 W3 1520 1520 - 1400 1400 M2 1600 - 1440 1440 1440 W2 1640 - 1520 1520 1520 M1 - 1600 1600 1600 1600 W1 - 1640 1640 1640 1640
