Club membership fees

   I think whoever thought of those prices needs to wake up.  You can't expect people to pay that much when you are pretty much starting a club from scratch again.  It doesn't matter how flashy the clubhouse is, if you are trying to attrach true sailors, its the quality of the sailing venue, whats on offer and the racing that counts.
At the end of the day its Crosby marine lake, not Hayling Island, or Rutland Water.  There are plenty of other clubs in the area that offer quality (and well established) sailing and competition at less than half that price.
Maybe if the club was on the sea with sailing at all states of tide, it would be a different story.
