What Do All The Colours Mean?

The colour of the flags represents how fast (and therefore how dangerous) the stream is on the respective stretch, and consequently shows which OURCs rules are in force, though it is important that all crews make their own individual risk assessment before starting an outing.

On the Isis:

	No restrictions
	No novice coxes Spin between the spinning posts downstream of Donny Bridge and at Haystacks No spinning at Longbridges, except to land No going above Folly Bridge or through Iffley Lock
	As Blue Flag, but also: Senior crews only Crews must have a bank-rider with a throw-line and a mobile phone
	No crews allowed out
	Flag not currently being maintained.  All crews must make their own decision on whether it is safe to row

At Godstow:

	No restrictions
	Senior crews only No going below Rainbow Bridge
	No crews allowed out
	Flag not currently being maintained.  All crews must make their own decision on whether it is safe to row
