Increasing club activities 

There are many varied ways in which you can increase your club's activities. 

Club activities are not just about racing.  What will make your members feel confident about engaging with the clubs activities?  How can you help them to make the best of use of their boat, whatever the weather? Could providing help to your members grow and develop their sailing abilities?

The following fact sheets and case studies have been compiled to offer basic outline guidance on how to increase membership, activity and income.

• Windsurfing within your sailing club
• Club environment within commercial or local education authority centre

Most of the ideas presented in these fact sheets have been developed and proved successful by sailing clubs and centres around the UK so there is a good chance that they will work for other clubs and centres too!
