The Duty Officer is responsible for checking that everything is unlocked at the start of the evening and that kit is in the right places and everything is locked up at the end of the evening.

Duties at the start of the evening

  • Get the keys from Roz. Roz lives in the right hand of the house two houses on site. The sign at her door says "on duty".
  • Open the doors to the paddle store, buoyancy aid room, canoe cages and office.
  • Take the high visibility yellow "Duty Officer" vest out of the office and put it on - so that everybody knows that they are the Duty Officer.
  • Put up the white board and make sure there are marker pens available.
  • Encourage people to sign up on the white board.
  • Help people find kit.
  • Greet and help any newcomers.
  • Make sure you close all doors after everyone is on the water.

Duties during the evening

  • Keep the high visibility vest on when on the water, so that everyone can easily see who has the keys if they need them! (Tie it through one of the grab handles if you prefer.)

Duties at the end of the evening

  • Open the cages and doors when people get off the water.
  • Hang around the buoyancy aid room to make sure everyone hangs up their buoyancy aid rooms in the correct way.
  • Make sure every group signed up on the whiteboard is back - and that all in that group are back (ask the leader of that group if necessary)
  • Stay around until everyone is out of the changing rooms, lock up and post the keys back through Roz's letterbox.
  • Ensure that the open canoes are tide up at their far end with the rope that is attached to the walkway so thay they do not blow about in the wind.

The Duty officer should have also have a mobile phone with them in case of a medical emergency.

Being the Duty Officer does reduce the time that you can be on the water, so make sure you are not coaching that night, and that you plan an easy evening on the basin.

The duty officer must arrive early, have a shorter paddle and stay until all kit is returned. If people prefer, then they can share the duties with a mate. It does not matter as long as the duties are carried out.
