Feel free to browse the Sydney 38 Next website and read the posts to familiarize yourself with the features. There is a Crew Manual available for reference.

Here is a tip – Click Calendar on the menu. Once the calendar list opens, click on Expand All located in the calendar menu. Scroll down and you can see all the details for those events. Feel free to browse around the site to become familiar with it.

A list of crew members with log in information is displayed for those logged in via the menu by mousing over Crew and clicking on Roster on the desktop, or the    icon on phones. The Display Name only is visible by the public when a person is listed on an event.
