RYA Scotland is setting up Sailing Development Groups (SDGs) around Scotland as part of their new Business Strategy, Sailing Development Groups aim to strengthen the operation of clubs, through better instructor and volunteer training. They aim to improve the links between clubs and local bodies/ personnel such as local authorities, Active School co coordinators and uniformed organisations, raising the profile of sailing and making it easier for young people to have the chance to try sailing.

We are looking for the following for each group: Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. Funding will be provided to cover out of pocket expenses, and you will receive any training that you may require to deliver the activities required. If you would like to discuss any of these roles, please do contact me by phone or email.
The closing date for applications is 20th April 2010. We look forward to receiving your application soon!
