VOLUNTEERS

VOLUNTEERS ARE AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO - COME AND VOLUNTEER WITH US

VOLUNTEERING AT RLYMYC

Our huge programme of events could not happen without an army of willing volunteers, mostly members but also non-members too. Our community of helpers assist with junior sailing programmes, major events and more, both on and off the water. Marklaying, knot tying, safety boat driving and so much more - help a little or a lot, its up to you. Camaraderie, fun and friendship is guaranteed. No prior knowledge is needed but we can offer training and certification in skills such as race coaching, first aid, safety duties and more.

Wednesday Junior Sailing
We're counting on volunteers like you to make our award-winning Wednesday Junior Sailing (WJS) programme a success. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or new to the sport, there are plenty of opportunities both on and off the water to get involved. Your contribution will help more local children experience the joy of sailing while learning valuable seamanship skills.
‍
No prior experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome! We especially need rowers to join us on the water, and there are plenty of roles for non-sailors ashore. Whether you're interested in crewing a RIB or providing shoreside assistance, your help is invaluable.
‍
If you're passionate about sailing and want to make a difference in the community, we'd love to have you on board. Contact the club office to volunteer for Wednesday Junior Sailing today!
Events Ashore
There are many ways to volunteer ashore if you prefer to stay on dry land! Throughout the year we run various events that do not run themselves. Our wonderful volunteers help with preparing and running events - for example at Christmas time there are trees to assemble, decorations to put up, Santa's Grotto to build, presents to wrap - and much more!


Or perhaps you'd like to be one of our flower team, helping to make to clubhouse look its best and welcoming to all.
In The Club
Our various House Committees help to organise our social events, liaising with our Restaurant team to organise catering options and select wines. 

We have volunteers who assist in some aspects of our IT and in maintaining and operating our audio / visual systems. In addition, the club's archives are maintained by a volunteer.
  


There is also a committee that carries out building maintenance and sees to the upkeep of the front garden.

HOW TO VOLUNTEER

Whether you're looking to get out on the water or help with Santas visit at Christmas time, we welcome your involvement. We always appreciate volunteer support with a free drink token after each event.
