Enjoy double commission in October with RYA Joining Point

Throughout October, RYA affiliated clubs who have signed up to the Joining Point programme will enjoy double commission for every new RYA member they sign up.
 

All you need to do is spread the word about RYA membership and encourage your members to join the association and throughout October registered Joining Points will receive double the standard commission values of the scheme, receiving £20 commission for every family membership or £15 for every personal membership they sign up. 

 

The commission earned can be fed back into your club to help with the purchase of kit, provide money for refreshments at an event, help pay for renovations, put towards new boats; the choices are endless.

 

“The Joining Point scheme is very easy to administer.  The promotional materials are clear concise and attractively presented and the scheme provides a clear route and link between club sailing and sailors and the RYA.

 

“The pricing structure between membership and the cost of an ICC allows us to make an easy sell to newly qualified Powerboat Level 2; ‘membership is effectively free, and you get all of the benefits and protections of the RYA and your ICC’”, commented Andy Airnes, Training Secretary and the administrator of the Joining Point scheme at Blackpool and Fleetwood Yacht Club.

 

“The Joining Point programme is a real win for everyone involved.  Registered clubs earn valuable commission, new members enjoy the benefits of being a member and the RYA membership grows”, commented Ben Falla, RYA Head of Membership.

 

Why join the RYA?

 

One of the questions you may get asked by your members is why they should join the RYA? 

 

“Membership is at the heart of everything we do at the RYA with membership fees reinvested to support sport and club development and develop future talent”, explained Ben. 

 

“The more members we have the stronger our voice to represent our members and the wider boating community ensuring legislators, regulators and other authorities understand and take account of recreational boating activity.”

 

As well as supporting the association’s lobbying work, members also enjoy access to free boating related legal, regulatory and technical advice from our in-house experts when they need it most.  Plus, a whole host of benefits, rewards, discounts and offers from over 80 member reward partners, offering great savings on everything from kit and clothing to holidays and travel.  While the quarterly RYA Magazine and regular e-newsletters help keep members up to date with all the latest news and events, advice and tips.
