As RYA Joining Point Double Commission Month hits the mid-way point clubs and training centres signed up to the programme have been taking advantage of the special offer, claiming bonus commission for their club or centre and introducing more and more boaters to the benefits of RYA members.

"A number of our Joining Points have taken advantage of the double commission offer available throughout April", commented Gemma Garrett, RYA Membership Operations Officer. "But there's still time for all our joining points to take advantage of this great promotion or for new clubs and centres to sign up and claim commission for their club or centre and spread the word about RYA membership."

The scheme provides a quick and easy way for clubs, training centres and organisations registered as RYA Joining Points to encourage their customers to join the RYA and experience the many great benefits of membership.

As a thank you for spreading the word about RYA membership, Joining Points receive a commission for each Member recommended and throughout April Joining Points will receive double the standard commission values of the scheme; £20 commission for every family membership or £15 for every personal membership they sign up.

Aigua Sea School in Palma de Mallorca, has been taking real advantage of the special offer and has already introduced 10 new RYA members. Linda Revill, principal at Aigua Sea School commented: "The strength of the RYA comes from its membership and it's great to feel a part of a promotion to encourage more boaters to join in. We are based in the Med, so whilst the RYA isn't as prominent over here, we explain the benefits of membership, plus the work that the RYA does. It's satisfying when people are keen to join in. The changes in the eligibility for the ICC is also helping our promotion of the RYA."

While closer to home, Peter May, director at Bisham Abbey Sailing and Navigation School commented: "As a commercial training centre we always vigorously promote the benefits of becoming a member of the RYA. Member benefits like discounted insurance and discount on brands related to the sport are always seen as a good thing by our clients whilst the membership fee promotes the growth of all forms of boating.

"The double commission offer is a great way for the RYA to say thank you for your support to those that work hard in the industry and promote our governing body."

If you are already an RYA Joining Point then you don't have to do anything to register for this offer, the double commission will automatically be applied to your account in July's payment run. All you need to do is tell your customers about the benefits of RYA membership and get them to sign up; it's that simple.

Existing Joining Points requiring more promotional materials should email with their Joining Point reference number or the name of their club or organisation to receive further membership forms.

Each Joining Point pack provides the club or centre with the possibly of earning up to £1,000 in commission, up to £2,000 during April's double commission special promotion, depending upon the number of members signed up. Commission is paid on a quarterly basis and the amount depends upon they type of membership signed up to.

If you're not already an RYA Joining Point signing up is completely free and easy to do, simply email to get started.

Make sure you sign up today and be ready for the start of this extra special promotion.
