We allow all full members to vote be they Sailing, Honorary or Social.

As we are a pure sailing club though by default most of the committees are made up of sailors or ex-sailors. We share the lake with a fishing club but are currently in the process of buying the freehold which will give us control of the fishing rights as we will own a 3ft strip of the shore.

How that will work with the fishing club as a 'sitting tenant' remains to be seen.

I would be concerned at sailing members being over thrown from control of decision making, mainly affecting clubs that don't own building,other groups could band together and approach landlord.

That thought process isn't always correct. I've been in a couple of sailing clubs that moved out from their core pursuit and ended up losing more than they gained.

Yoga is growing in the UK, it hooks in a target demographic (women) and can be used to ease folks out on to the water on inflatable paddle boards once the weather is more clement - these can then be used for fun and games when the wind doesn't play ball for Sunday racing..... it would be an interesting investment for a club to make.  

Of course, it would take the thought process that SUP is welcome and part of the wider watersports community that really need to come together.

I'm beginning to think y'all should take us at Hythe as a role model, we do all this, Keep Fit, Yoga and even an Art Class mid week, our club now serves as an HQ for the newly formed Hythe Cycling Club we did a sort of corporate deal for them all as one fixed fee and benefit from their use of the Galley regardless of wether we sail or pussy out due to weather (Nothing worse than signing up for Galley duty and nobody goes out) Monday is Open water swimming nightm Tuesday WIndsurf and SUP, Wednesday is some sort of training night either cycles or us, Thursday is Sail Racing and only Friday doesn't have much going on, which you would have thought would.

I was thinking something a bit more extreme, offer a training programme including sailing obviously (hoping some get the bug), charge a serious fee cut out the time wasters.
