Clubs & Associations 

The Legal Team provides specialist advice to Clubs and Associations.

Clubs and Associations are an important part of the sailing and boating community, and depend on their committees and volunteers to manage the club in an efficient manner. Whether you are a newly elected official, or an old hand, you can benefit by having the latest information available to help you in your role.

This section of the website aims to provide a one-stop-shop for legal advice for the secretaries and treasurers of RYA affiliated clubs, where expert lawyers, accountants, chartered surveyors and insurance specialists have produced an invaluable guide to the red tape of club management.  Detailed sections cover constitutional issues, club members rights and liabilities, staffing, premises management, statutory regulations, finance, duty of care, insurance and much more.

If, after having read through this section you have any queries or comments, please do contact the Legal Team.  Tel: 0844 5569619 Email:  legal@rya.org.uk
