What to do? | Ban novices from early mornings |  | 3% | | | Ban CULRC from early mornings |  | 43% | | | Ban seniors from early mornings in November | | 29% | | | Ban rowing | | 9% | | | Allow limited senior outings in the dark | | 26% | | | Move novice races to the middle of Lent term | | 17% | | | Build a bigger river | | 74% | | | A quota system of early morning outings | | 14% | | | Build an air traffic control tower at Chesterton and require all boats to proceed under its control during outings | | 34% |
