Volunteer Information Page
The volunteering system works in conjunction with the Calendar and Contacts section of the website.
Any event in the Calendar can have Duty Requirements specified. Each Event can have multiple Duty Requirements.
Contacts/Members
By default the Duty Roster allows duties to be allocated to or volunteered for by any Contact in the database. Communication to keep you informed will come to your email address. Please make sure you use a valid email address. If you should decide not to receive emails, please note we will be unable to keep you informed.
Events and Duties and Roles
Duty requirements are associated with Events in the Calendar. Any Event can have one or more Duty Requirements defined. Contacts can be allocated Duties by third parties or you can be invited to volunteer for Duties through the member portal. The system builds in constraints for example. You cannot be a safety boat driver of a Dabchicks RIB if you have not got a PB2 or have attended a Coxswains course. If you have attended and passed either then please inform us so we can tag your contact correctly.
Events
Depending upon the type of event there will be either a daily volunteer list or an overall event list. For example in Mersea Week you need to volunteer for each day, for RTI race it will be an overall volunteer list.
What happens if?
We would prefer it if you could volunteer as early as possible, but please be reasonably certain you will be available. Circumstances do change and when you know it please address the volunteering you have entered. There are two ways you can do this.
1)Using the swap facility in the portal try and swap your duty with someone else.
2)Send an email to wmycsailing@gmail.com giving the full details. We will endeavour to readvertise the role and cancel your duty. When you receive notification through the email that you are removed from the roster you will know this is done.
