Lodge Captain (LC).

Position description and Duties

  1. The Lodge Captain is a position only applicable to when people are staying in the lodge.
  2. The Lodge Captain ia a Committee member, or a member who, for a weekend or week, (depending on numbers staying in the lodge and when), is nominated as Lodge Captain
  3. When all the bookings are finalised for a weekend and following week, the Bookings Officer allocates a LC for the weekend and another one for the week. The LC is preferebly a Committee member, but if none are in residence, the Bookings Officer allocates a member for the position. She chooses the most experienced member available, not someone who has newly joined. Long term members are the best as they know what is going on in the lodge and have the experience to help
  4. The allocated Lodge Captain's name is written on the bottom of the Lodge Accomodation whiteboard
  5. During the ski season, the lodge is usually full on the weekends, school holidays, interschools and less so midweek. Most likely there will at least be one Committee member present at peak times who will be the LC
  6. The Lodge Manager is responsible for all the maintenance type issues in the lodge. The LM will also help with questions about the resort, how to get tickets, public transport etc, and explaining lodge duties and helping wherever possible.
  7. The Lodge Captain will be available for other issues, for instance, any member or guest problem. If these issues arise, they must be reported to the LC and not the LM. The LC will deal with the problem if possible, and inform the Committee. The Committee will resolve the problem if the LC is unable to do so.  
  8. The Lodge Captain will be available to all members/guests for any questions concerning the lodge and those staying there
  9. The LC should be generally accessible and familiar with lodge procedures and information.
  10. The LC ia not expected to be available all the time, but should keep an eye out that all is running smoothly and when necessary, politely remind lodge members and guests of expected behavior and duties required.
  11. The Lodge Captain Duties:
    • Assist Lodge Manager if required. Act as a back-up to the LM
    • Collect master keys from Lodge Manager on arrival or at any time they are required
    • Report to committee regarding failure of members to complete duties or misbehavior.
    • Be aware of fire rules / lodge evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency.
  12. The Lodge Captain position is an important one and the committee is very grateful for the members who take this role  on. Usually no work is required at all, but when problems do arise, we definitely need a Lodge Captain to help.
