The conference, which will take place on Saturday 3 December from 9am – 3.30pm, will be an opportunity to connect with other clubs as well as RYA staff and volunteers.
RYA Northern Ireland’s Active Clubs Co-Ordinator, Kate Pounder commented: “The Affiliated Clubs Conference is a fantastic place for those within the sailing and boating community to come along to hear information and updates and share knowledge. It’s an ideal opportunity for anyone involved in a club or its activities including, flag officers, committee members, staff and volunteers.
