*Very* unusual then... Its probably not fair to make direct comparisons to a conventional member managed and volunteer run club... All the tradeoffs are different.

All 3 clubs I have been a member of didnt charge for club racing. I believe Parkstone does though, but they charge once for the series rather than per race.

At Alton Water on Saturdays do you find very poor turnouts on naff wind days? I can imagine days with a low wind forecast when only a couple of boats turn up!

Interesting thread: Some members take the view that racers should pay more (in annual subs) as they use more of the resources than non-racers. If ever you go to an RYA seminar covering development plans they will always ask most of your attention/effort/resources are directed in your own clubs. Invariably the answer is racing. In my own club with 250 boats, you are lucky if you get a tenth of them racing at any one time. I suspect that this is not uncommon.
