**Deben Yacht Club 2023 Trustees Report** 

## **Charitable objectives** 

The objects of the Deben Yacht Club CIO #1183054 are: 

The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation for the public benefit in Woodbridge and the surrounding area by the **provision of facilities** for sailing, including: 

- **providing learning and teaching** in the skills of sailing in dinghies and yachts; 

- **providing training** for instructors and members including safety practices and the use 

- of safety power boats. 

**Membership & Finance.** Membership numbers have continued to grow steadily. The club is in a healthy financial state, which is necessary to cover not only our operational costs but also for regular maintenance and replacements. The costs of maintenance of our clubhouse and pontoons, above the riverbed, are always challenging. Inflation means that our costs and so our charges need to rise each year. We propose membership and fee increases at the AGM that to the club’s viability but below the current national inflation rate. 

**Facilities.** Our volunteer members perform all the functions of the club; training, sailing event management, boat maintenance, catering, property management, financial management and administration. The club is well-known for supporting its volunteers and doing everything in good humour and as a result many volunteers continue happily in their roles for years. However, individuals’ circumstances change so we need a regular influx of new volunteers – there is so much variety in the club that there is something rewarding for everyone and the more people we have the more we can spread the work around. 

This year the club has maintained the clubhouse, including changing and galley facilities. The Dinghy Park and associated sheds have also been maintained and kept tidy. We have constructed new storage racks for canoes and other paddle craft since there are increasing numbers of paddlers in the club. 

**Club boats** . This year our fleet of dinghies has been put to effective use by members for both training and other sailing events. Some wear and tear occurred, thankfully not too expensive, and this has been rectified by our maintenance volunteers. We also replaced one of the RIBs because it was becoming old and unreliable so that we could continue to support sailors. 

**Sailing.** We had a full programme for 2023 and continue to adjust it to encourage as many as possible onto the water at our club events. While most of our events are races, we encourage other sailors who are happy to follow the fleet while being monitored by safety boats; there is no requirement for them to compete or complete the course. We also ran many social Club Sailing and Flotilla events for those who prefer not to compete. The small yacht and keel boat fleet enjoyed their programme. We are grateful to the Woodbridge Sea Scouts for the loan of their RIB safety boat for the Regatta. 

**Training** . We held a marine focused First Aid Course to maintain our number of qualified first aiders available for sailing training and support. Our RYA-affiliated training team delivered our usual sailing and powerboat courses. Qualified club members provided the instruction and we also linked with the Woodbridge Sea Scouts to share boats, instructors and students. 

**Social** . Our regular coffee mornings were well attended and raised over two thousand pounds for various local charitable causes. We also arranged a series of winter walks and talks for members during the non-sailing season.
