RYA Sailing Survey

Published 17:34 on 19 May 2016

Update! We have had a response rate of about 12% so far which is probably reasonably typical. So thanks to all who have had a go at this - it will provide really useful feedback. If we can get this rate closer to 25% we'll consider this a really good response in line with the most pro-active clubs. http://wsc.org.uk/ryasurvey2016 (you will need to log in to access this page!) - Thanks again.Weymouth Sailing Club is one of a small number of key clubs who have been selected by the RYA to participate in a research pilot. As part of the pilot we receive the support of the RYA and an agency they have contracted on behalf of the clubs involved, to implement a club member survey which we hope will help us understand more about our members and our membership experience.Feedback from the membership as to how we could refine and enhance what we offer will help us to recruit new members and ensure the continued satisfaction of our current members. We have agreed to work in partnership with the RYA on this project which will generate a detailed report for the club management committee and some comparative analysis with other clubs which we can build into our strategy for club development. We hope this will give the General Committee some ideas on how we can meet members' aspirations, and perhaps target recruiting campaigns and selling the great benefits of club membership. The General Committee is inviting all members to complete the online survey, which should take between 5 and 10 minutes and is accessible using the link below (you will need to log in to access this page!):http://wsc.org.uk/ryasurvey2016 Please note that the survey will close at the end of May, in order for the club report to be created.Your personal details will not be shared with anyone and your responses will remain anonymous. However the responses will be used to compile a specific report issued in June for our club, from which we will be able to do some comparisons with other similar clubs across the country.Obviously the more members who complete the survey, the more reflective of the views and ideas of our membership this report will be. We would very much appreciate your time and insight in responding. Responses from all the participating clubs will be analysed to provide insight across England which the RYA will report back to us in the Autumn. Please help us to understand more about our club members, so that we can continue to develop the club offer and increase activity and membership. Thank you for helping,Euan McNair.
