Trip Set-up on Website
DO Approval
Before you set up your trip you must have obtained approval from the DO to undertake it. The DO will make it easy for you and create the trip 'shell' for you from a past trip or from a clean trip template and they will also have given you access as an Event Official and set up the 'venue' if required.
You will know all the key facts about your trip to pass on to others: dates, times, meeting places, suitable diver grades, exercises, kit required, kit-hire, accommodation, food and catering, etc., etc.
Set-up process
- Log in via the 'For admins' link at the bottom of every page of this website. You log in using the same username and password that you have as a member.
- Click on the 'events' link in the left hand menu panel.
- At the top of this page you will see three filters: 'upcoming', 'past' and 'TBA'. Your trip should be in the 'TBA' list. Click this link.
- Update details. Use the standard headings that the club uses for every trip. By using these you will not omit any information that people require and people will know where to look for info.
- Save the event.
Registration dates
As DM you need to try to fill the trip with members. But if it doesn't fill you need to open the trip to other clubs or tell the operator to open remaining places to the public. You need to determine that date in conjunction with the operator. This is the registration close date. After this date members must approach you to register for the trip if spaces are available.
