And do any of those work in the way one would like? None of them are what one could call models of social responsibility...

RYA in my experience don't dictate, they have been brilliant at my club, perhaps we have been lucky.
They have a hot potato with dinghy sailing at the moment, trying to stop an apparent terminal decline.
Cycling, brilliant, I do more cycling than sailing, conversations started about cycling will work in any environment, try starting a conversation about sailing in a non sailing environment.

Many cycling conversations will be about nearly getting killed, mind, or about jumping red lights and running pedestrians over.

mine tend to be around laughing at a certain mate who is a complete kit w*nker and has a new carbon weight saving accessory each week.  I also play devil's advocate when it inevitably turns into a Jeremy Corbyn bashing session.... it's a like a sketch from Little Britain- real ale, lycra, ill-informed political debate all washing down energy gels like the fat reserves in the beer guts and bitch tits aren't enough to get around 20 miles of country roads.

I remember it well.

I still have a scar on my scrotum. Pushbikes are the work of the Devil.

Be a member not a guest.
Could all members please ensure club duties are done, prior to dealing with their own equipment, please ask members who are doing duty if you can assist with something.
Members must also ensure they know how to do duties, assisting experienced members is a good way to learn.
This is what I intend to put to committee.

Opening with an imperative could be seen as a little argumentative and confrontational ...

maybe open with 'welcome to our club' or 'your club'
