This club is a registered charity and we do rely solely on donations to survive.
We have been very fortunate in the past and have had the support of many, including local companies, Bristol Water and the main Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club.
The donations that we receive enable us to maintain our boats and equipment as well as keeping are membership affordable for our sailors. Whilst our biggest expense our annual insurance throughout the year we have to:
- Replace shackles, bolts, etc that degrade our time.
- Replace tires for our boat trolley’s.
- Replace life jackets when they reach end of life.
- Less frequently we may need to replace sails and boat covers as these really take a battering with the weather.
- We keep a stock of waterproof clothing that we lend to our sailors, these do need replacing from time to time.
