VOLUNTEERS RUN THE CLUB

Queen Charlotte is run by volunteers. Being a member means volunteering some of your time to help run activities and support the club, which in turn, helps it grow. You can help the club by:

  • Volunteering your time to support club activities on a roster. Roster duties include patrol boat/safety crewing, running the galley, start box and race management. You’ll only be asked to do tasks you feel comfortable with and we will support you with training to learn new skills (e.g. skippering, race management, barista knowledge.) Volunteering is a great way to get to know other members and feel a sense of belonging to the club.

  • Helping to organise things such as boat maintenance, regattas, fundraising and social events.

  • Becoming a committee member.

Please contact a Committee Member to find out more about what it’s like at Queen Charlotte (see our Contact Us page), or better still pay us a visit on a sailing day.
