How all members can help
Take
every opportunity to meet prospective members and get to know
them.
Prospective members will have been asked to visit the Clubhouse
and to sign in at least twice while their application is being
considered and they will be advised that they are welcome to
join events in the Club programme.
If
you introduce or sponsor a prospective member, please encourage
them to visit the Clubhouse, sign them in and introduce them
to other members.
Their
application cannot be processed without your letter of support.
Please complete this prior to their application being sent in.
Whilst being prepared to sponsor or second an applicant, please
do not feel obligated unless you are sure you wish to do so.
If
you have any observations about a prospective member, please
talk to a member of the General Committee.
Your
comments will be treated with respect and kept confidential.
If
you are on the General Committee or a Sub-Committee, encourage
applicants and new members to become interested in your area
of responsibility.
New
members will not know what is required or how they can help unless
they are asked specifically and may not be able to help unless
they are supported in the task required.
Please
remember that you once were a new member.
Many
new members are new to sailing, or to the Medway area, and they
will appreciate your experience and advice. Support at the beginning
may well encourage new members to become actively involved in
the activities and running of the Club in the longer term.
