Role of the Crew members 'Crew' are traditionally the 'helpers' role which is to be on hand to help members into costume, and be around as an extra pair of hands to ensure things run smoothly. Although some of our characters are open faced which means members are often able to manage/crew themselves, crew are a valued part of any event and should be respected for the support role that they play. Crew at events are strictly members of the club who are not in costume, or as a member of the Crew User Group. Crew need to be over the age of 18. When crewing we would expect the person to respect the Costumer by not wandering off and to remain part of the event activities that they are attending, as Costumer safety is paramount. We would like crew members to: Wear merchandise to identify themselves (Club t-shirt (501st or RL), clothing, badges, or high vis jackets). No other clubs merchandise/shirts/ materials will be permitted to be displayed. A generic Star Wars shirt is acceptable. Be on hand for all Costumers during the event The role of a crew member is to: Ensure the safety of the costumer in public; i.e. check that they are comfortable, hydrated or if they need a break Ensure that the public is aware of the costumer and thus their safety. Ensure that any costume malfunctions are identified and communicated to the costumer Crew are NOT security and should not assume this role when they are are at event. Should an incident of a serious nature occur, then this should be referred to the Senior member of club on the day, who will advise an appropriate course of action or speak to the event organiser should this be necessary to decide what course of action to take. The role has always been one of ensuring the safety of the individuals trooping, ensuring that obstacles are pointed out, and making sure that they can get from A to B, whilst making sure that B is devoid of trouble. Crew should try and ensure all costumers are kept together when walking to and from the changing area to the trooping area. Try to keep the group moving without stopping for photographs when possible, as this can cause bottlenecks, especially in public places. If a member of the public wants photographs en route, politely encourage they follow the group to an end point or a less crowded area to get a photograph. Crew will help keep the members to schedules (lunch breaks, locations, etc).
