Anyone interested in finding out more about assisting at National Regattas is invited to come and sit alongside experienced officials to find out what is involved. Officials are the most important people in the running of our National Regattas and supported learning during the events and at ‘out of season’ workshop days assist in developing skills and knowledge without unnecessary pressure. No experience is required but working with a team and a sense of humour is important, Just helping half a day, whether morning or afternoon, would be greatly appreciated.
Officials who have gained experience in key areas and show commitment go on to take the International Canoe Federation Technical Officials Examination. This enables them to officiate at ICF or ECA international regattas. These officials must have worked a minimum of 6 days during the current year to apply to be nominated for an international appointment. Regatta Officials interested in knowing more about what this entails please contact the Chief Official.
Several officials are working in Pre-Regatta groups such as updating club colours, registration of paddlers, and putting together the printed programme. We also have an IT team who are continuing to develop a program that will not only reduce the workload for entering and paying but also an inline results service.
We are continually looking for assistance with First Aid throughout the regattas. This is headed by a full-time paramedic who takes overall responsibility for reporting accidents. All clubs have qualified first aiders who could help with this important and legally required service.
The Regatta Volunteers Inter-Club Award, This will be presented to the club which has gained the most points from their members who are Regatta Officials. All Regatta Volunteers will earn points, 1 point will be awarded for each half day worked, The points become transferable to the club once a minimum of 12 points (6 days) has been accumulated. Points will be awarded to those who attend workshops. A total of 20+ points is achievable by each official, Officials who are not members of a club may donate their points to a club of their choice.
If you would like to know more about helping at a National Regatta, please contact Ann Hoile at the Secretaries Desk during the regatta weekend or email regatta.volunteercoordinator@britishcanoeing.org.uk.
