In this fifth webinar, Revealing Reality give a fascinating insight into what motivates volunteers to help at your sailing club, looking into the motivations of Sport, Self Improvement, Social and Community.
Tom Whittingham, Commodore of Bowmoor Sailing Club, then explains how they are successfully implementing volunteering at their club.
Liz Rushall of Rushall Marketing, Mark Jardine, Managing Editor of YachtsandYachting.com and Sail-World.com, and Alistair Dickson from the RYA Sport Participation Team have run a series of webinars over the last 12 months, with the aim of increasing sailing participation, understanding the changing marketplace, and spreading the word on club initiatives and success stories, giving other clubs inspiration to boost numbers on the water and increase active membership.
The full series of Webinars so far can be found here. If you're involved in any club and not following these already, then I highly recommend spending the time to view and study these. The ideas demonstrated in clubs up and down the UK are resulting in increased membership and participation through their implementation.
