Join us for an evening with the RYA South West team hosted by Pete Bone at The Royal Fowey Yacht 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 6.30pm with a short plenary session full of the latest updates. Next, attendees will explore the following topics before a group wrap up at the end of the session.  

Sailing Towards Sustainability: Environmental Insights 
Join Dave Curnow, a passionate advocate and expert in marine environmental issues to explore practical ways your organisation can tackle environmental challenges and embrace eco-friendly opportunities. Learn about the latest developments in marine conservation, discover initiatives you can join, and gain actionable ideas to protect local waters. Share concerns, exchange solutions, and leave inspired to make sustainability part of your organisation’s future. 

Creating a Great Volunteer Culture 
Telling the human story behind volunteer hours, getting the culture right and managing volunteers. 
 
There will be time to enjoy some informal networking for 30 minutes before the session as well as during a short break. Light refreshments will be available throughout the event, such as tea, coffee and biscuits.   

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

The majority of our venues are accessible. However, if you have any specific requirements, please let us know when booking.

Regardless of which region your organisation is based in, you are welcome to join any of our RYA Connected Workshops. Take a look at the other regional overviews or the RYA Events page. 

We look forward to seeing you!
