Don’t forget, club sailing boats are available very cheaply for hire available for qualified sailors. Make the most of the weather and check out opportunities for sailing too. Feel free to ask on Facebook too and see who else fancies joining for a sail.
The safety teams have now been published to the web site.
Please can you check the lists to see which teams you are on, and also the sailing calendar to check the dates your team is doing duties.
You will need to acknowledge your ability to do the duty by confirming it using Dutyman.
This is important as we need to ensure we have sufficient safety cover for each race.
We are still looking for more people to fill the teams so if your name is not on one of the safety teams
and you are a regular sailor or would like to help on a team then please let me know ASAP, so that I can add you to a team.
I’ve started the self allocation period for house duties for 2019, so please look out for the mail from Dutyman.
What’s the self allocation period? Help!
All members must do two house duties per year e.g. a Bar or Galley (kitchen) Duty. Duties are managed from Dutyman for which you will have a login, (note this is a separate login to the membership portal).
Self allocation is where you can self assign duties during a window of the next three weeks. After that time Dutyman will auto assign duties to you, people usually find it better to choose their own dates. Dutyman has sent all members an email inviting them to self assign duties.
Action: Please look out for the Dutyman mail, visit the self allocation form and sign up.
Note: this is for all duties through till the end of December and any duties already signed up for in Jan-March will count to your two duties.
Also, if you’re good with Dutyman: There are also some duties looking for volunteers in March not on the self allocation form, which you can volunteer for from the Dutyman website, and these need picking up first. Please help with that.

The new online membership system has now been rolled out and lead members should all have letters from the membership secretary.
The new system will have sent an email with some help on how to renew and another one with the log on details.
If you haven’t received emails, please look in your junk mail / spam folders in case your filters have rejected the message. It will be from swanagesailingclubmembership@gmail.com.
If you need a paper copy instead, please email membership secretary Alan Stephen at swanagesailingclubmembership@gmail.com or write to him at the club.
This is a new system, and we expect there will be unexpected issues, so please be patient as they are resolved. Duty management will be moved to this system too over the next months.
Please note that the membership management system has a different URL to this website.
https://shop.swanagesailingclub.org.uk/
You will have a personal different login for that site.
I’ve assigned people to the first weeks of duties for 2019. Currently, you can choose duties till end March 2019.
Most people seem to prefer house duties in the quieter off season. Please sign yourselves up, otherwise Dutyman will auto-assign.
See the previous post for instructions on how to sign up.
We need to find galley (kitchen) helpers for Dec 23rd. Call for volunteers please, there are people who haven’t done duties in 2018, now’s your chance
