UPDATE 15/06/2012 – Volunteer now found – Thanks Rex – but see above for another volunteer required as a crew.

There are 950 duties a year (excluding cadet duties) in the club’s duty roster. These are undertaken by around 275 members.  Most members do 3 duties a year. A few do more and some have less allocated to them at present.  Having these duties is essential for the smooth and safe running of the club’s sailing and racing activities.

–

At the moment there are around 20 duties over the year ahead which are not allocated to anyone including a couple over the next few weeks. These vacant duties have generally arisen where the duties were allocated to members who have subsequently not re-joined the club or are unavailable.

–

I am now hoping that volunteers will come forward to take on these duties.

–

The vacant duties are:

12 May 2012 – SS2 Crew: 19 May – SS5 Crew; 16 June – SS7 Crew;  17 June 2012 – SS5 Crew; 28 June 2012 – SS3 Helm; 12 July 2012 – SS3 Helm; 21 July 2012 – Race Officer &  SS7 Crew; 18 August 2012 – SS5 Crew; 25 August 2012 – SS3 Crew; 26 August 2012 – Assistant Race Officer & SS3 Crew; 27 August 2012 – SS3 Crew;  1 Sept 2012 – SS3 Crew;  29 September – SS3 Crew – 6 Oct 2012 – SS3 Crew;  21 Oct 2012 – SS3 Crew & SS7 Crew; 4 Nov 2012 – SS5 Crew; 2 Dec 2012 – SS5 Crew

–

Please volunteer if you can do one or more of these.  Ways to volunteer are:

• If you have a DutyMan password – log-in, go to the volunteer section, and click on the ’unallocated duty; volunteer required’ symbol next to the duty marked ‘tba’.  The duty will be yours. DutyMan will immediately update the roster and send you and the club an email to confirm it.
• Email [email protected]  saying what duty you can do. I’ll get back to you.
• Phone me, Graham Dare, on 07946 413923.

–

Even if you have not done it before I’m sure we could start you off crewing in one of the displacement boats (SS2 or SS3), or even crewing  in one of the RIBS ( SS5 or SS7).

–

Thanks in advance to those who can volunteer.

Best Wishes
