DutyMan and Programme Duties Help
Link to H(B)SC DutyMan website login.
We are a self-help club and the success of our programme relies on members doing their share of duties and volunteering their help whenever possible. As a guideline for duty requirements we expect active watersports members to volunteer for at least TWO duties and other active members between 18 and 75 years of age to volunteer for at least ONE duty. Of course, you can volunteer for more duties if you wish. Non active members (e.g. partners in family memberships) are not expected to volunteer but we would be delighted if they did..!
DutyMan is the software we use to administer our programme duties. DutyMan is a web based duty roster management system which is always up to date, accurate and easily accessed. It will allow you to volunteer for duties, request changes and see who is interested in swapping duties. Reminders will be sent out to people a couple of weeks before the event. It is important to remember that each member is responsible for finding a replacement if they are unable to make their duty.
Members who are eligible for duties will have received a welcome e-mail with their log-in name and password for DutyMan. If you have lost or mislaid your log-in details click here.
The duties program for the following year opens on DutyMan around December and members then have the opportunity to select rather than be pre-allocated duties. This should mean that you are available for your duty and you know when it is! The opportunity to select your duties closes after 4 weeks. Any duties not filled will be allocated to members who have not volunteered for duties. DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO SELECT THE DUTIES YOU WANT TO DO.
Please only select duties you have the experience to carry out (we would encourage experienced dinghy racers to volunteer for Race Officer duties).
To volunteer as Galley Cook you will need to have level 2 Food and Hygiene certification. The Club will pay for this and you can access the recommended online course by clicking here. Level 2 Food and Hygiene is not mandatory for Galley Assistant who can help with serving, making hot drinks etc. but not with any food preparation.
Jetty cleaning duties are programmed on Dingy Sailing race days after racing. The cleaning is easier on the receding tide and members can sail and then jetty clean afterwards (before changing). You obviously do not need to sail to volunteer for jetty washing and expect to be able to start washing about 2 hours after high tide.

Please note that the DutyMan roster only has events for which H(B)SC members are required to undertake duties and is not the full programme (for example M(B)SC run events that are not included).
