RYA Affiliated Club Conferences and Club Development Workshops 

The seven Regional Affiliated Club Conferences were held from the 14-28 November 2015. More than 400 people took the opportunity to learn more about the services provided by the RYA.

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. 

Following the success of these first-time events, there are now plans in place to review these conferences. If you attended the Affiliated Club Conferences, please complete our survey and provide feedback in order to allow us to continue improving the services we offer.

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.
