All club members are required to do two duties a year as part of their membership. This ensures that there are sufficient crew available for the support boats and to organise racing. Members have a choice of Spring/Autumn or Summer/Winter rotas. Members can request a specific day by completing the Duty Request Form below.

On this page, you will find:

• Instructions for OoD and Duty Crew
• Information about the "DutyMan" duty rota system

Rescue Boat Handling

Bartley Sailing Club strives to raise safety levels for Club members and other authorised users of Bartley reservoir and the use of support boats is paramount to this.

We expect all rescue boat drivers to participate in on-going training. Some training notes have been produced for everyone to read prior to receiving practical on the water training. The intention is to give practical training sessions usually to on duty crew. The Officer of the day will be notified in advance wherever practicable that training is proposed during his/her duty. Other training sessions may be arranged with small groups of Club members whenever possible.

A list of trainers will be published in the Clubhouse for information and to answer any related questions.

Duty Rota

Bartley Sailing Club uses Dutyman to publish its up-to-date duty roster on the web, and to email duty reminders. You will be sent a reminder 21 and 7 days prior to your duty. You can use Dutyman to review the duty roster, to check the details of your own duties, confirm that you will attend and to arrange duty swaps.

Open Meetings

In order to ensure that Club open meetings are adequately resourced, members participating in Club open meetings may be asked to carry out duties at a Club open meeting other than the one in which they entered. This will be an additional duty to those rostered on a six monthly basis. If approached by a Fleet Captain organising an event, please do your best to support them.

You should arrange to be on site between 09.30am and 5.00 pm, suitably equipped to be on the water for the expected weather conditions. If you require to swop duties, please use Dutyman for those members who have provided an e mail address. If you are not registered with Dutyman and swap your duty, please inform the respective OoD.
