We are holding one conference in each of our seven regions to provide clubs with the opportunity to learn more about the services that are available and how these services can benefit your club and its members. 

There will also be several club development workshops on offer during the conferences. It will also provide you with a great forum to engage with RYA staff and volunteers who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Club Development Workshops

The RYA has also recently re-designed its Club Development  Workshop programme, which consists of a range of modules that can be delivered by or on behalf of the RYA at clubs throughout England.

The new programme has been designed to give the regional staff a breadth of topics from which to select the most appropriate for the needs of their clubs, enabling volunteers to prepare effectively for the following sailing season.  The first tranche of workshops are outlined in the table below.  Please use the Eventbrite registration button to book your places at these events.
