CASC and rating revaluations

Originally posted by 423zero The red tape now being generated for a voluntary organisation is pushing volunteer members to the edge, we only have about 40 members, half of these think the other half are paid proffessionals to wait on them, bulk of work falls on the shoulders of half a dozen people.

I think this is proving a big problem for local Rugby clubs where members may remain well after their playing days are over.

If we ever decide to go down that route we have the participation levels info to hand as we complete a register every time the water is used. Have done so for years. As we are small it is easy to do. Also dinghy parking space is at a premium so it gives us evidence to politely ask those members who are not using their boats to remove them if we get an influx of keen newcomers with boats which we cannot accommodate.
