Volunteering
The Clyde Cruising Club is run for members by members. We rely on members on the various organizing committees to plan and run our events to the high standard that has given the Club its highly regarded reputation.
Dinghy Section
The most visible volunteers at the Dinghy Section relies are the stewards who open the Club and keep an eye on sailors at every free sailing session throughout the season and the instructors who run our training. At the regattas members help running races, in the diner or driving power boats. However there are numerous other jobs at Bardowie that depending on what skills people have to offer. Coming along to help is a great way to meet other members and be welcomed into the Club, see here for more details.
Keelboat Cruising and racing
Race Officers start and finish the keelboat races, sometimes there is a different start and finish officer for cruising races.
Scottish Series
The Scottish Series relies on an army of Volunteers to run the event. Not only do volunteers get the best views of the racing, there are some perks too! There's a special Volunteers party on Friday evening. Lunches provided each day. T shirts. There are two main areas of Volunteering: On the water and shoreside. Some people do a little of each.
Committee vessels have a crew that start and monitor each race. That involves flags signals, sounds (hooters) timing, spotting which boats cross the line when, dealing with restarts, and generally manging the race under the supervision of the Race Officer. Ribs do a variety of work including laying and moving marks, early finishes, spotting from the other end of the start line and general assistance to the Committee Vessel.
On shore, there's communications, noticeboard updates, calculating results, posting results, updating website, handing out goodie bags to competitors, general administration of entries. With over 600 people involved there's always queries and issues to deal with, the shoreside team handle that.
