Latest Duty information

DutyMan

As advised in the last club newsletter, we are now using an internet-based system for managing club duties from Jan 2008. This letter provides the basic details and attempts to answer your probable questions. If, after reading this and checking out the website, you have any other questions, please contact Bruce Snelling. You will have received an email with your login details, please keep it safe for when you need it.

Standing Order documents

There are also a number of 'Standing Order' documents to help you run your duty smoothly.

• Guidance notes for the Senior Officer of the day.
• The Log Book (Senior Officer)
• Guidance notes for the other Assistant Officers.
• Race starting procedure for normal club racing.
• Galley guidance.
• Statement from the Senior Officer of the day.

Summary

As you are aware, the WLSC duty roster typically comprises:
Senior Officer of the day
Officer of the day
Assistant
Assistant
Galley
Bar

Our current membership size means that a new roster is prepared approximately every six months
(therefore help recruit more members and thereby reduce the frequency of your duties!!).

We are fortunate at the moment to have just enough competent SODs and competent OODs to
make this roster cycle achievable. What we would like to do is have more people considered as
competent, either as SOD or OOD. This would make rostering and swapping duties more flexible,
as well as improving the competency of all members across the board.

Therefore please would:

SODs - spend some time teaching OODs how to undertake the duties of SOD
- let me know when you consider someone competent as an OOD or SOD

OODs - learn how to be a SOD!
- spend some time teaching Assistants the duties of an OOD

Assts - learn how to be an OOD.

There is something important for the others also:

Galley - End your day with taking a rough inventory of the contents of the
fridge and let the next person on galley duty know what is there. This will reduce the amount of
food that we waste due to it passing its expiry date. You will find name and contact details of your
successor on DutyMan.

Bar - Let me know if you run out of bar provisions.

Thanks
Bruce
