    Tom. I spoke about this last night at Orford SC. We are so so similar to Weir Wood. Loads of youngsters. I'd already found out about it through Katy Stickland. Heads up to you for doing this video. James

    Thanks for your efforts Tom. I was fortunate to grow up 75 miles from the sea but my parents went racing every other week on the Blackwater estuary where I got my life long skills soaked in. Now trying to get my grandson to take up the oar/mainsheet?

    I really enjoy Tom's presentations. I'm making a small contribution to the cause.

    I'm not a sailor... one of those things I wanted to have a go at but didn't make it happen. I'm happy to contribute to the cause and I wish them success with their case.

      If you're near Weir Wood (or pretty much any club) they offer beginner courses for all ages from about £100.

    I've chipped in. Best of luck to them! It would be a great shame to lose a sailing club that's doing so many great things for young people!
    Is there anything that they can do to list the site as a community asset or something, to give them some more protection from this kind of thing? Because clearly they provide an enormous benefit to local people!

    Well spoken Tom, we are trying to get youngsters sailing in locally, trouble is the lake we were on, at Havering, chucked two clubs off.
    The council run lake at Grangewaters, Thurrock is too expensive, even with a bulk booking. It's about time the authorities gave our youngsters the chance for excitement, team work , self confidence and enjoyment. Get them out in the fresh air and away from mobiles, laptops etc for awhile.
    If it doesn't make a profit, it's not viable. Maybe some things can be subsidised , the profit comes in the form of youngsters learning life skills and interaction with others.
    Do others agree, profit can be the future these youngsters give back to others as they go through life.

    Would love to help. May I kindly suggest a QR code at the end of your video. Will be a quick and easy way to get to the site. 😀

      Hi Bradley. I don't know how to do a QR code but I have added a link to the description on your recommendation and that of others. Many thanks.

    Looking it up on Google, one can see the issues here and who they are up against! I was (still am) a member of a model railway Society in Cornwall, started by the farmer land-owner in the 70's. However, Grandson didn't want us there anymore, and now we no longer have a club. All very sad.

    Sailing’s been good to me - happy to give something back 👍 That said, they seem confused about what their target is. It’s set at £10k but the blurb says £100k 🤔 Or is it just me??

    • @nickskinner7427
      @nickskinner7427 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The £10k is the first target that must be achieved within 30 days. It’s a crowdjustice hosting rule. Thereafter the bigger target is £100k.

    It’s an unpopular fact that most yacht clubs have been struggling to break-even for many years now. Lots of reasons for this. Most still accommodate a sailing facility for younger people but sadly this is being threatened as being one activity area that can be cut back on without serious financial loss. The way forward is for more adult sailing people to join a yacht club to increase membership income and for yacht clubs to accept that the majority of people who join are not interested in racing yachts these days and in doing so meet the needs better of leisure sailors, paddle boarders, motor cruisers, etc.
