Join us for an evening with the RYA North team hosted by Adam McGovern at Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club to share valuable insights and take away practical tools to strengthen your activities for the future.

Open to all RYA-affiliated clubs, classes and organisations, these free 2 hour workshops will begin at 7pm with a short plenary session full of the latest updates. Next, attendees will explore one of the following topics before a group wrap up at the end of the session.

Protecting Our Blue Spaces - Environmentally Responsible Boating

Explore how clubs, centres and associations can take practical action to reduce their environmental impact and support healthier blue spaces. Through discussion, shared experiences and examples from across the boating community, you'll gain ideas, inspiration and resources to help turn environmental ambitions into practical action.

Finding Your Next Members: Right Audience, Right Offer, Clear Pathway

This interactive workshop will help your club understand how to attract and retain new members by choosing the right audience, shaping a relevant introductory offer and creating a clear pathway to membership.  You’ll leave with practical actions and an understanding of the RYA support available.

Do come along with more than one representative from your organisation, where possible, to make the most of the opportunities provided.
