The Club is run totally voluntarily by its Committee and its Members for the benefit of all Members. There are no paid posts within the club. The Club expects Members:
a) to abide by the Club Rules;
b) to assist with running the Club Racing (Sundays throughout the year and some Saturdays and Wednesday evenings during the Summer) when selected, on a rota basis, by the Sailing Secretary (Club Rule 22). For most club members, you should expect to do a minimum of 1 or 2 duties per year although it will occur more frequently for regular racing members.
