Duties

We ask applicants for membership to say which volunteer duties they would be happy to undertake. The different duties are shown on the application form. Each active member is expected to do at least two duties per year. The Duty Roster on the club website lists all of the current years available duties.

There is always an experienced member on duty to help and advise those new to the club. Apart from the "official" duties shown on the Duty Roster we are always glad to hear of members who would like to volunteer to help the club in other ways. Getting involved in activities is a good way of getting to know other members and finding out more about what goes on in and around the club.

Members will be exempt duties, (Duty Exempt) if they are;

1. Under 18 years old.

2. Over 80 years old.

3. Have a medical issue that would prevent them doing duties. Please email the Commodore to request exemption.

4. Being a Slipshod singer.

5. Being an honorary member.

If you are not Duty Exempt you are reminded to please uphold the ethos of the club by doing a minimum of 2 duties per year.

More information can be obtained from the Membership Secretary, Ann Smyth, (07528231794, membership@yarmouthsc.org).

In order to volunteer for duties members should log in to the members' portal and follow the instructions given there.

Duty Swaps.
If for any reason you cannot fulfill a Duty that you have volunteered for please organise a Duty Swap using the relevant section of the Duty Roster.

In the unlikely event that you can not find someone to swap with you will need to inform the organiser of the event so that the event is either cancelled or an alternative volunteer is found. The organiser would be for example, the Chief Race Officer, Chief Duty Officer named on the Duty Roster for the date you require the swap for.

Please note that some email addresses have changed, e.g. Commodore (Martin Palmer) is now commodore@yarmouthsc.org and Sailing Secretary (Melinda Measor) is now sailingsecretary@yarmouthsc.org.
