Boat Champion

Quite simply we need a small team to help raise the profile of boats on the Canal.

The role is flexible but we need someone to help give more ‘voice’ to boats on the Canal and we would be suggesting that this includes:

• Working with organisations that use boats on the canal (Galleon marine, Accessible boating, Canoe clubs, etc) along with others on nearby canals
• Have contact with those who have boats on the canal, to keep them informed on any events for boats and other matters affecting them. Also represent the interests of boaters at the twice yearly BCA-boaters meetings
• Act as the Society’s contact point to boaters wishing to visit the canal, with knowledge of licensing, mooring, slipways, etc..
• Promote boating on the canal, including feeding stories into the Society’s press and social media teams

Skills

• We are looking for people with excellent communication skills and 'Can Do' attitude. 
• A keen interest in boats and/or the canal.
• We ask volunteers to become members of the Society as it enables them to receive regular updates along with membership providing insurance cover for volunteer activities.  An adult membership is £15 p.a.
