Ever found yourself nervous about an Officer of the Day (OOD) duty? Not sure what the locking up procedures are or where to find the applicable information? Or just feel like you could do with a refresh of the latest guidance?

If so, Sunday 17th November may be the day for you. Chief Powerboat Instructor, Jeff Stratford, and Sailing Secretary, James Williams, are going to run an OOD Refresher Session to cover the key aspects of a OOD duty. We’ll cover various parts of the role, including preparations in advance, through unlocking the club, monitoring activities on the lake, booking out club boats, finishing the session and more. This ‘course’ is designed to provide some confidence to our OODs to make the duties more enjoyable and relaxed rather than a chore or stressful.

We will meet in the main club room at Chew (near the OOD desk) at 13:00 on Sunday 17th November, I expect things will take between 1 and 2 hours depending on the level of interest. Come armed with all your questions!

We aim to repeat the session on a Saturday and a Wednesday at some point in the first half of 2025, and then repeat on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays regularly as required.
