Volunteer Roster
Sunday sailing and the canteen is run by volunteers.
Roster on here
All members (or their parents) need to do four (4) duties on Sundays each season (Sept-April), to ensure sailing days run smoothly. See the image for instructions, and text below for explanations of each role. If you do not actively select a date for a roster duty that is convenient for you, one will be selected for you.
The rostering platform (SignUpGenius) sends reminders out so you don't forget to do your duty. If you are unable to do your duty, then it is your responsibility to swap with someone - we've updated our WhatsApp chats so you can put the message out. It's then your responsibility to update the platform (see help FAQ here)
Roles:
Officer of the Day (OOD) and Assistant OOD
The OOD manages the club during the afternoon racing /sailing and, among other things, ensures club boats, radios and other equipment is made ready for use. Boats are refuelled and racing marks are laid during the day and all equipment is cleaned and stored at the end of the day. As the role involved driving the larger club boats a NSW Boat Licence is required.
The OOD is expected to arrive about 11am and finish at about 5.00pm.
The AOOD assists the OOD (primarily helping lay/retrieve buoys, hauling/packing away rescue boats, and helping on-water rescues). A boat licence is NOT required, so inexperienced members, parents etc are encouraged to nominate for AOOD duties. In fact, a NSW Boat Licence can be gained partly by doing AOOD duties – the on-water logging can be signed off by the OOD.
The AOOD is expected to arrive at midday and finish at about 5.00pm.

NOTE - there is no Club Officer responsible for re-allocation of roster appointments. This is a community club and we ask all members to volunteer and perform their duties.
If a member fails to meet his or her roster commitment or find a substitute, an event may need to be cancelled without notice.
