RYA Connected Workshop, run by Robbie Bell, East Regional Manager.

The RYA are running a series of face-to-face workshops throughout the East Region as part of their Connected series. Starting at the end of January, these evening sessions are open to clubs and other RYA affiliated organisations. This is an opportunity to meet locally to discuss some of the key challenges you have told us you're facing and would like to explore further. We will start with a short plenary session to cover aims and introductions, we will then break into two groups to run concurrent workshops on: Recruiting and Retaining Members and Participants, and Safety Management Systems (a shortened repeat of the Connected Conference workshop).You can decide which to attend on the evening.

Please do bring more than one representative where possible, to make the most of the opportunity.

Each evening will start at 7pm to enable people to arrive after work, however we would like to invite you to join us from 6pm, should you wish to, to give us more of a chance to chat and network. We will aim to finish by 9:15pm. Refreshments will be included.
