RYA Scotland Online Affiliated Club and Recognised Organisations Conference

To help prepare for the beginning of the season we are hosting a series of short online sessions for affiliated and recognised organisations beginning with the Affiliated Club and Recognised Organisations Conference on 6th March 2022.

This event will be the first of 3 sessions that will explore topics relating to our new Strategy on People, Places and Communities (2022-25). This session focuses on ‘places’ and we are delighted to have Mandy Peters, Legal Manager at the RYA with us to talk about governance and legal challenges facing our club as well as introduce a new piece of legislation around ‘Interest of land’ which may affect all organisations who are not charities or companies limited by guarantee. We will also hear the latest from the sportscotland facilities fund around their funding guidance as well as have a small opportunity for you to ask questions of the presenters and the team.

These online events are ideal for those who are involved in the management of your club or its activities – committee members, volunteers, staff etc. and are completely free to delegates from RYA affiliated or recognised organisations.

Please note that the next 2 sessions are due to take place on Wednesday 30th March (focus on People) and Wednesday 27oth April (focus on Communities). More information to follow!
