RYA Connected Workshops in the East region
Join us to explore the topics that matter most to your organisation at a local level
Get set for the season ahead with our RYA Connected Workshops
Following on from the RYA Connected Conferences, we have lined up a series of free workshops during January and February 2026. Focused on coming together at a local level and exploring hot topics you’ve told us are important to you.
For 2026 we will be focusing on the following topics
- Learning from others
Explore case studies of RYA Affillates who've tried something new. Discuss lessons learned, success criteria and how they might apply in your organisation, leave with ideas and inspiration to shape your own club's development.
- Creating a great volunteer culture
Telling the human story behind volunteer hours, getting the culture right and managing volunteers.
Hosted by the RYA East Regional team, these evenings will provide local opportunities for us to learn together. You’ll be able to catch up with the latest insights and take away actionable ideas to inform your planning and activities for the coming year and beyond.
Open to all RYA Affiliated clubs, classes and organisations, our workshops will focus on essential themes and include time for you to network with other attendees.
