TEESDALE SAILING AND WATERSPORTS CLUB Re8lstered charfty number 1159463 Achievements and erformance The instsllation of solar panels and battery storage at the end of 2022 introduced electrical power to the clubhouse, changing rooms and top Storage Shed for the first time. Thi5 Wa$ supplemented by a project to extend the power supply to the bottom shed. 2023 was a year in which the club has expanded iys water based activities with the acquisition of kayaks linked to the corporate membership of the club by the Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services (UTASS) and 4 sessions with them through the Together Fund. Unfortunately 2 corporate members being Wilderness Outdoor Education and the Combined Cadet Force left the club during the course of the year. Respectively, this wa5 because the reseNoir is too windy to reliably run events and a lack of engagement with local schoo15 which ha5 seen a relocation to the coast and a bigger club in the hope that this will result in greater engagement. Despite thiss Participation in 2032 stood at: Total 942 Wednesday Total Saturday Total Sunday Total Other Total 210 92 573 67 This compares favourabty to 2022.. Total 765 Wednesday Total Saturday Total Sunday Totsl Other Total 80 194 462 29 The increase in Wednesday participation levels has been partly due to a prograrnme of club improvement works, particularly to the Club's Wanderer. This has seen improvements to 4 versatile boat alongside the Social benefits to the "Happy Wanderers" who did the work. The Club ran a successful Discover Sailing Event in May which it was decided was a better use of our limited resources than running as comprehensive a training programme as happened previously, A sm411 number of club members have continued to provide a training programme which comprised RYA level l and 2 sailing courses, Power Boat 2 and Safety Boat courses. The year seems to have been particularly unfortunate with poor weather impacting the training courses with more than expected cancellations.
TEESDALE SAILING AND WATERSPORTS CLUB Wate, Registered charity number 1159463 Experience of the junior training in previous years has informed the allocation of instructor time to operate this on more focussed basis. This has resulted in less overall training sessions for the juniors to facilitate more support for senior member5 where retention of attendees as members has been better. It Is noted with thanks, that this programme is only possible with a significant ¢ommitment from the and those supporting them on the water and ashore. Club Im rovements The new boat park makes the storage of boats and their launch/recovery far easief. The storage shed located at the bottom of the original boat park continues to provide accessible storage for the Club's equipment including that for iys most frequently used fleet boats, many of which are used for training. Time has been spent improving the arrangement and storage aswell as security of the shed following break ins. On the back of BEEP grant funding (Business Energy Efficiency Programmel, the Club has invested in solar panels and battery storage which was installed over the winter of 2022 and has been a very welcome improvement to the Club durlng the 2023 season. The club has also invested in kayaks which supplement the Stand Up Paddle Boards acquired in 2022 and these expand our promotion of the use of paddle craft on the Reservoir. The presence of electricity on site has been a huge help to those member5 who have restored the Club's Wanderer sailing dinghy which adds to the variety of boats at the club. During the year, the club also invested in a new Laser following issues with the delamination of the deck on the previou5 boat. The Committee has reviewed iys fleet of boats and whilst satisfied with them at the current time, recognises that iv5 Picos are likely to need to be replaced in the coming years as parts for the boats are Increasingly expensive. In tirne. this will most likely make the ongoing maintenance of these boats prohibittve and an alternatlve but equally versatile craft is likely to be needed. aub Actfvltl Our approach to providing watersport opportunities continues to be very much community fccussed. The charity had a fleet of sailing dinghies enabling people to participate, whether or not they own a boat. The Club sold a racing Optimist during the year as there was not current demand for this, and it was unlikely to be used productively in the foreseeable future. It was therefore decided to sell the boat and reinvest the funds in the maintenance of the current fleet. The Club maintains a fleet of boats and those currently available to Sail are..
