Members' duty rota
Click here to read the duty person's roleAll club members are required to do 'duty' on at least one evening each year. It is a great way to meet other club members and ensures that the club can open on Monday and Thursday evenings. If you cannot do your duty please arrange to swap with another club member.
There is now a form in the duty box listing the names of members who are doing duty sessions. Please tick the box next to your name to show that you've attended and done your duty session. It is essential you attend or arrange for someone else to - if you do not then you may forfeit your membership to the club.

Duty person's role
- Make sure that the first aid box and signing in book are placed where members can easily access them - either by the steps up to the barge, or under shelter if raining.
- Ensure that all members getting on to paddle, sign the 'signing in' book before they get on the water and sign again when they get off.
- Ensure that everyone on the water or pontoons is wearing a bouyancy aid.
- Act as focal point in case of accidents and emergencies.
- Ensuring all paddlers are aware of their responsibilities with regard to their own safety. New or inexperienced paddlers should not go beyond the immediate basin (basically they need to stay in sight of the club.
- The duty rota is to ensure that the club is a friendly, informative and SAFE environment. If you cannot make your duty night then it is ESSENTIAL that you find a replacement duty person.
- If you are unsure of anything, just ask another member at the club. Experienced members are present on almost every evening and will be happy to advise.
Note: The club no longer accepts visits from non-members who wish to paddle unless they attend either an New Members evening (free), a Taster Evening (£10, prepaid) or have been invited as the guest of a member who will accompany them on the water (£5 - to be collected, and passed to a committee member or placed in the Duty Box), and must join the club if they wish to make futher visits.
Non-members must attend a New Members evening, they cannot view the club on any other club evening.
The Duty Person will have the use of a folder, maintained by the Safety Officer, which includes:
- signing in book
- visitor declaration forms (casual user form) (weils disease form)
- new members forms (membership form)
- club information leaflets
- Location of first aid boxes on site
- Accident book
The folder is stored in the equipment locker. If you are not sure where it is, ask another member.
