During our regular season, the Club will call on the assistance of volunteer positions to help with the running of each event.  To ensure each race runs smoothly and safely, up to a dozen people are required to “sit out” and undertake a variety of tasks such as water safety, road marshalling, registration and Junior Help.  All roles are overseen by the allotted Race Captain.  During the season, each member will only be expected to attend one (1) duty position which would result in them missing a race.

.

A list of our Duty positions, including job descriptions for each role is attached below:

.

In summary, please note that each Club member is expected to:

.

1. Volunteer for at least one race in the season and help with a duty

2. Attend the race that you are rostered on to and help for the whole race

3. Find a replacement if you cannot attend your rostered day

4. Do a make up duty before you are allowed to race again (unless your “swapped” duty is rostered later in the season)

5. Turn up @6.00am, report immediately to the race captain and sign onto the roster sheet at rego

6. Attend the Duty Roster Briefing 5 mins prior to the race briefing to get final instructions from the Race Captain

7. Stay to the end of the race and help pack up

8. Smile and be helpful to your fellow club members

9. Bring a pair of swimmers and towel in case a water safety person fails to show. We may need you to get wet!

The Duty Roster for the 2011/12 season is still being completed as members nominate for their preferred dates.  A copy of the most current Duty Roster is posted below:

For each season, our duty rules are clear.  It is YOUR responsibility to know when you are on duty. At each race, the current duty roster will be posted up on the white board so that every member will be able to see who is on duty for upcoming events.  You will not be eligible for championship points if you fail to do your duty or find a replacement. You will also not be eligible for Grade Champion titles at the end of the year if you miss your duty or fail to find a replacement.
