Fremantle Sailing Club’s Unique Duty Officer Team

They are a group of selected volunteer members who act as Club ambassadors and hosts at official club functions, represent the Club in the broader community and provide backup support for members around the clubhouse. While their role continues to include supervision of standards and adherence to the requirements of our liquor license their main activity is assisting members over the weekends while “manning” the Club foyer desk on Saturdays and Sundays and encouraging courtesy and harmony within the Club.

Duty Officers provide essential support around the Club, assisting members with queries and extending a warm welcome to visitors. You’ll find them on the jetties and around the hardstand areas each weekend, both during the season and in winter.

They work 4-5 hours per day and can connect members with the Harbour Master, Duty Manager, and other staff. They also offer a “Justice of the Peace” service for passport renewals and official documents on weekends.

The team organizes the Annual Children’s Christmas Party every December, a much-loved event for kids aged 1-12.

The Members Draw is one of the Club’s most popular weekly initiatives, proudly supported by our incredible sponsors and led by the Duty Officers team. Held every Friday night following our 5:30pm Happy Hour, the draw brings a buzzing atmosphere to the Clubhouse as members gather in anticipation. With great prizes, friendly faces, and the chance to celebrate together, it’s a fantastic way to kick off the weekend and strengthen our vibrant community spirit.

A heartfelt thank you to our Members’ Draw sponsors for their generous support, your contributions help make these weekly moments even more exciting for our members!
