Topic: VOTE on compulsory CA membership Posted: 01 Jul 05 at 1:24pm |
No Yes Reason: CA membership should be FREE or as close to free as possible (with CA's making their money in other ways, merchandising (I own 2 Contender polo shirts that I would have happily paid an extra £5 for), open event fees etc) with a Generic 'Current Class Assoc Member' sticker to be shown when racing and a declaration on the membership renewal form. Peer pressure (or the odd protest) would enforce membership just like the RRS. Yes No Edited by Matt Jackson |

In most class association run classes there is a registration fee for a new boat, but there's no way it could cover all class association expenses. After all a boat may be raced competitively for 15 years with 5 or 6 different owners - there are certainly boats like that in the Cherub Class. |

And Firefly No 8 is still racing at open meeting level 60 years on...I think any contribution from when new would have run out by now...

Results of the vote: Mandatory for All Club Sailors YES 1 NO 14 Mandatory for Racing Club Sailors YES 6 NO 11 CA Members Voting YES 15 NO 1 CA Committee Members Voting YES 7 NO 9 Pretty conclusive for recreational sailors, but less clear cut for racing sailors Of the 7 current or past CA commitee members that responded, only 2 voted YES to compulsorty CA membership for all racing sailors (interesting that a much higher proportion of non-committee members are in favour than committee members - may have something to do with the admin burden) Only 1 respondee was not a CA member (heartening on face value, but might just reflect the readership and the fact that non members aren't interested) Some points raised:
So, do we go anywhere with this, or just leave it as no real need for change having chewed over the issues? Edited by yellowhammer |
