Many of you took part in the online training survey in January this year, asking you what training opportunities you'd like for the upcoming 2019 season (adult and youth).
We now have the results and the key points are:
- 57 responses received from 316 members, an encouraging response rate of 18%
- Mostly more recent members (< 5 years) and family members (61%) responding
- Advance notice of courses is really important to members
- Interest in youth racing series
- Top priorities for adult courses: safety boat (48%), Level 3 (30%), PB2 (27%)
- Preferred course format is two Saturdays or series of Saturday afternoons rather than whole weekend
- Top priorities for youth courses: Stage 4 (31%), Stage 3 (28%), Stage 1 and Start Racing (25%)
- More club boats in better working order would be well received
