The RYA Southern Region
incorporates all RYA Affiliated Clubs and
Organisations in Hampshire, South East Dorset,
the Isle of Wight, and Chichester Harbour,
plus a few London based and Sevices Clubs
whose sailing base is in the Southern Region,
approx. 160 in total.
The Region is run by a
volunteer
committee consisting of representatives
from the major sailing organisations in the
Region, together with a RYA Sailability
Co-ordinator, and the Regional Cruising
Committee members. The Region also has its own
Training Panel consisting of volunteers
appointed by HQ at Hamble.
The Region is represented
nationally by the Regional Chairman who serves
on RYA Council, and is elected by the Clubs in
the Region, also by a representative on
the RYA Cruising Committee, this person
is in turn co-opted as a member of the
Regional Committee.
The full Committee
normally meet three times during the year. The
Regional AGM is held in late September/early
October, just prior to the RYA AGM. At the AGM
each Regionally Affiliated Club is entitled to
send one voting representative. RYA Personal
Members, and members of affiliated clubs and
organisations are also welcomed at the AGM,
although they are not entitled to a vote.
Every affiliated club
receives 28 days notice of the AGM, with a
full Agenda, Chairman's Annual Report,
together with a copy of the Regional Accounts.
