Revision as of 01:28, 9 April 2011

The Trips Coordinator :

Ensures that outdoor activities are available to members of the Varsity Outdoor Club, particularly new members who may not be prepared to organize activities on their own.
Coerces competent Club members into leading trips, particularly when the weather is good and exams are not imminent, i.e. in September, October and January.
Makes sure the trip agenda is brimming with trips and other VOC activities.
Acts as a resource for members who may want to organize their own trips.
Organizes the Intro Night (see, for example, [Intro_night_2010]).
Co-ordinates the fall Glacier school, Avalanche course, Winter Longhike, and Son of Rock. Note that most of these trips have logistics pages linked to from their main page to assist with organization. Worth a read, rather than reinventing the wheel.
A good position for somebody who truly likes to get out and about, and knows their way around in the outdoors, and is prepared to take beginners and unknowns on activities, and can coerce others into doing the same.
