Corinthian Days - Duties at the Club
BCYC is run by its members. As a member you will be asked to contribute to the running of the club by training to use the safety boats and providing safety cover on the water for a number of days each year. If you are an experienced racer you will be asked to help run the racing. Alternatively, you can help in the galley. You can pay for someone else to cover your duties.
Free Induction for use of the Powerboats & introduction to the club
All members are required to participate in a free induction to use the powerboat. Book your Powerboat induction here
Can't do a duty you are assinged to?
We find that using the WhatsApp groups to ask for a swap is the most effective way of finding a replacement for your duty.You can make a direct request to another member to swap duties via teh website if you find yourself unable to do one. This can be done here, and managed here. Please note that until someone accepts your swap request, you are still responsible for fulfilling that duty. If you cannot do a duty for any reason then there is a list of people here that may be able to cover your duty for a fee (to be arrange between the two parties). If you still cannot find anyone, please email rotasec@bcyc.org.uk.
Duty Cover for Payment
We have a list of members here that may be able to cover your duty for a fee (to be arrange between the two parties).
Conditions of Cover
Members age 16 or over can advise RotaSec at rotasec@bcyc.org.uk that they would be willing to do others duties, in addition to their own, for a payment. Their names and contact details are added to the 'duties for payment' list below.
The club is only acting as a contact medium and is NOT employing these members. It is for the two members to agree how payment made. As an indication the normal current fee is £50-60 for a full day and £25-30 for a Wednesday evening.
The RotaSec at rotasec@bcyc.org.uk should be informed who is doing a duty for payment so that an explanation request for any failure to attend goes to correct person. Duty reminders will continue to go to scheduled member, who should remind the agreed paid member.
The person being paid should fill in the paying members name on attendance sheets so that payer gets their credit, as this is NOT a swap. If the member being paid fails to do agreed duty or their own duties, they will be removed from this list.
Please note member must be safety boat trained to swap for on the water duty. Under 18 must have an adult in the boat at all times when driving safety boat.
