Search for UK’s best club

12:06pm Thursday 23rd September 2010 in Club News

A SEARCH to find the UK’s best sailing club has been launched.

Applications for the Royal Yachting Association’s Club of the Year 2011 awards are now open.

The RYA is looking for clubs which have encouraged people to go sailing, provided a range of quality activities, attracted new members and volunteers, engaged with the local community and demonstrated good club management.

RYA volunteer development officer Jackie Bennetts said: “Since launching the competition five years ago we’ve had some amazing clubs enter, from all across the country, making it very difficult for the awards panel to make a decision when choosing the overall winner. Hopefully the clubs will make it difficult for us to choose a winner again this year.”
