We are now able to offer day membership to allow guests to use club equipment. The change of insurers to the RYA has opened the possibilites for us to attract new members by allowing them to try out the sport easily and inexpensively. Previously we could not allow guests to use any of the club equipment as they would not have been insured, but now, any equipment the club owns, including the tandem, can be used by guests, but in order for them to be covered they will have to be become Day Members and this is at the invitation of a  full club member. For open days, taster sessions  and day training the invitation will be by the club and the committee will undertake to sign members of the public in.

Making good progress until…….
