Club strategy The strategy we have been working towards to improve the clubs operational and financial position while maintaining our two boat model We need to increase the intake of our sailing fees – More active use of both of our yachts from our members throughout the seasons. Cash flow management – Payment of sailing fees earlier in the year Increasing membership – recruitment campaigns (brochures & posters). Club Information packs Communications – What’s App instant messaging & Website, sailing booking calendar and documents access We needs Skippers & members to assist in filling the sailing seasons now and going forward We need new members
