If I was an RYA RDO I'd be inclined to spend my time and efforts helping those clubs that value and appreciate my work. Many clubs/few RDO's mean you're competing for their time and effort, and with the greatest of respect with the attitude you seem to have I'm not surprised you haven't got very far !


typical of the attitude cycle  driven disappointment of the  professionally  idiotic ...

+1. My club has raised a huge amount of money in recent years, partly from grants, and the RYA were very helpful. The other side of that is the grant bodies tend to want a view of a clubs application for funding from the relevant sports governing body, in our sports case that's the RYA like it or not. Bottom line is poor relationship with the RYA = little chance of big money grant applications being successful

That's a joke right? That might have been the case back in the day, but not these days, sorry not interested, didn't help us, were no help to worthing either, you're dreaming if you still think the RYA is fit for purpose.
