Volunteer Roster

Sunday sailing and the canteen is run by volunteers.

Roster on here

All members (or their parents) need to do 3 duties on Sundays each season (Sept-April), to ensure sailing days run smoothly.

We use SignUpGenius to manage the roster. See image for instructions, and text below for explanations of each role.

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.

There is no Club Officer responsible for re-allocation of roster appointments.

If a member fails to meet his or her roster commitment or find a substitute, an event may need to be cancelled without notice.
