6th Jun '22May Bumps 2022by CE
Welcome to First and Third and our coverage of the 2022 May Bumps, which will take place from 15-18 June.

Note that this year each women's division 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.

Due to COVID-19, May Bumps last took place 3 years ago in 2019, though a side-by-side June Eights' Regatta was held by CUCBC in lieu of the 2021 Mays.
(Lent Bumps took place in 2020 and 2022, missing just 2021.)

Messages from the towpath will appear below, and you can find the latest Bumps charts on our results page.

Up to five 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):

      Wed-Fri Sat
M5 1300 1100
W5 1345 1145
M4 1430 1230
W4 1515 1315
M3 1600 1400
W3 1645 1445
M2 1730 1530
W2 1815 1615

Great to see the results of the Mays so far.... has inspired me to try to make a visit to the Cam - hopefully Friday.
Go First and Third!  All the best to our crews.  Hang in there and row hard.

Also pretty cool to see the bumps results service and BumpIT in use - that I created now 20 years ago!  Thank you very much Christopher Elsby for posting the results!  Would be great to see some race reports ;-)

If I can sneak out of work, maybe see you all on Friday.... :-)
