The retired can be a great resource for a club - sometimes they just need to be asked.

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Absolutely- when my nest's empty and my NIs contributed to clearing the national debt of a feckless generation rather than providing for my retirement, I wouldn't mind doing a lot more at a sailing club in return for a cheaper subs, but in the interim it kinda sucks giving up those precious few sessions to sit in a hut filling in a spreadsheet with meaningless times.

Or set yourself up as a contractor. In all seriousness, when I'm too frail to sail I wouldn't mind at all doing race officer many times a year. Nice way to spend the day, even more so if you get some pocket money for it!

Er yes I have how did you know? The girls bought me a razor and grown up clothes instead of the light sabre I changed my mind and asked for, so I grew it in protest over Christmas. I consider beard growth as childish in extreme so I'm doing it deliberately. ![]() |

I know- I'm not really suggesting through the books employment, more black economy credit. E.g knock £50 off the membership fee for every extra day of duties... Nice retention policy too. If the books don't balance, then I accept the policy might have to be weighted or adjusted differently. Eg 30 quid credit for doing the extra duty, 100 debit for not doing the basic one... 70 net income to club for those gawd awful quiz and karaoke nights.

But you wouldn't be. As a crude rule of thumb it costs roughly twice the net pay to employ someone what with employers contributions to NI, accountants, insurance, all the rest of it. |

I'm sure it could work at a smaller, more exclusive club too Duncan... Keep the riff raff out ;-)

So back to my original point. Pay to play can only ever work well at the biggest clubs that have professional rescue. If it means the general membership has to do more duties, i don't think the idea has legs. Edited by ex laser - 30 Dec 14 at 7:57pm |

Fair enough, the market sets its rate.
I think you'd find there would be cheaper options though, I know if I could have been paid £50 to run some club racing as a student, it would have been far more enticing than folding jumpers in Burtons or stacking the shelf at the CO-OP. |
