Just because our new committee boat has cooking facilities does not mean that they should be used if such action could be detrimental to competitors. The smell of bacon around the committee boat and as far as 100m downwind was so strong that I almost retired after 2 laps and my third lap was impeded by an overwhelming desire to head straight for the club kitchen. Conversations that I heard seemed more concerned with whether ketchup or brown sauce was favourite than the wind conditions.

Come on chaps, have some heart.

 In February 2012 the club will be introducing a web-based duty management system – ‘DutyMan’.

 

 ‘DutyMan’ requires a database of the email addresses of the 300 club members who undertake one or more race duties each year together with a database of the duties for the Duty Officer, Race Officers, and the 4 Support boat helms/crews for the 2012/13 races – starting with the Warm Up Race on 25th March 2012 through to April 2013.

 

‘DutyMan’ is currently used by around 150 clubs and organisations to:

  • Publish a calendar of events with allocated duties on the web, and which should always be up-to-date, accurate and definitive.
  • Automatically email members a list of their duties and duty reminders.
  • Organise duty swaps between members interactively using email to/from ‘DutyMan’ and automatically update the duty roster with agreed swops.

 

The databases are currently being finalised and uploaded onto the system with a view to going live in February 2012.

 

Members who have been allocated duties will receive an email from ‘DutyMan’ to set up their individual password.

 

 ‘DutyMan’ will be able to be accessed via a link from the club website.

 

If you Google ‘DutyMan’ you will be able to see presentational videos of how the system works.
